CHAPTER ONE DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE APPROACHES – A SHORT REVIEW 1.1. Definitions and names When it comes to teaching grammar two main trends have been competing with one another for ages‚ these are: deductive and inductive approaches. While the first one seems to be more successful as it has continuously been applied since ancient times‚ the other was appreciated only in Classical‚ Reneissance‚ 19th and 20th century (Johnson‚ 1999‚ p. 147). However‚ it seems to have gained real popularity

one is: A) Introducing Grammar This part of the chapter gives us examples and principles on how to introduce a grammatical function or a grammatical structure. Examples given here are actually based on inductive methods of grammar teaching. First I want to give you a brief comparison of inductive and traditional methods of grammar teaching. Traditional Method: 1- It defines rules and exceptions at the first place explicitly. 2- It’s less interesting and unpleasant for many students 3- It’s precise

He is infinitely good (pg. 125). The first argument offered concludes there must be a first mover‚ “and this everyone understands to be God” (pg. 126). His first argument does not prove the unmoved mover is good or bad. Aquinas‚ like most‚ understand God to be the original mover and infinitely good. Can we take Aquinas’ first argument as any proof of God’s existence? I believe not. Aquinas must argue such a creator is all good. Aquinas’ fourth argument puts all beings on the good/bad scale. There

answer is quite simple‚ we can explore the several arguments for and against His existence. The first argument we will indulge in is the cosmological argument. A cosmological argument is an argument that states that everything in the universe is dependent on something greater. For this to be true‚ at the end of a long line there would have to be an omnipotent‚ omniscient‚ and benevolent being. These contingencies on a

learners who have an analytical learning style. Finally‚ it allows the teacher to deal with language points as they come up‚ rather than having to anticipate them and prepare for them in advance. 2) Pros and cons of an inductive approach to grammar teaching An inductive approach starts with some examples from which a rule is inferred. It is also called discovery learning. There are several advantages of this approach. First‚ rules learners discover for themselves are more likely to fit their

Examine some of the key principles of the argument for the existence of God based upon religious experiences Religious experiences are experiences we have of the divine or God. These experiences may be Mystical experiences‚ conversion experiences or revelatory experiences. Paul Tillich states that religious experience is a feeling of ‘ultimate concern’‚ a feeling that demands a decisive decision from the one receiving it. He describes it as an encounter followed by a special understanding of its

Katie Wyatt 20th October Examine the key strengths of the Design Argument for the existence of God The Design Argument can be split into two sides: design qua purpose and design qua regularity. The key idea of design qua purpose comes from William Paley. He used analogy as the basis for his argument‚ noting how the complex design of a watch allows all the parts to work together perfectly to achieve its purpose. He then noted the complexity‚ order and purpose of the universe‚ stating that "every

Do you agree that the first cause argument proves that God exists? The first cause argument takes the existence of the universe to entail the existence of a being that created it. It does so based on the fact that the universe had a beginning. There must‚ the first cause argument says‚ be something that caused that beginning‚ a first cause of the universe. I do believe that the first cause argument proves God’s existence. This is because the universe consists of a series of events stretched across

The weaknesses of the Ontological Argument give support to Atheism. Discuss this claim (12 marks) Anselm’s ontological argument described in part (a)‚ was refuted in his own lifetime‚ by Gaunilo‚ who demonstrated in a reduction ad absurdum of his own‚ that if the logic of the argument were applied to things other than God‚ it led to invalid conclusions. Gaunilo didn’t identify any specific fault with the argument‚ but argued that something must be wrong with it‚ because if there wasn’t anything

(A) Explain how Descartes developed Anselm’s argument that God’s existence is necessary. Anselm used the Ontological Argument to prove that God’s existence is necessary. The origins of this argument are found in Anselm’s writings‚ he began with a quotation from a Psalm “The fool says in his heart‚ ‘there is no God’…” and then reflected on the truthfulness of this. Anselm defined God as ‘that than which nothing greater can be conceived’ assuming you accept this a priori definition Anselm went on
