| description | This action research project aimed to investigate the outcomes of implementing an inductive approach to teaching grammar at a public institution in the north of Veracruz, Mexico. This mixed methodology involved 16 students enrolled in online English classes The data were collected by means of diagnostic and achievement tests, semi-structured interviews with students, and observations by colleagues. The results revealed that the students were accustomed to receiving deductive instruction and acting passively in the classroom; thus, more attention needed to be paid to their performance. Additionally, it was discovered that the teacher's role needed to change to one that involved less talking time and more encouragement for students to develop their problem-solving abilities. The results suggest that using an inductive approach to teaching grammar may improve students' language skills and ability to apply their knowledge of grammar to more realistic situations. |

Esta investigación acción tuvo como meta investigar los resultados de implementar un enfoque inductivo a la enseñanza gramatical en una institución pública del estado de Veracruz, México. La metodología mixta incluyó a dieciséis estudiantes registrados en clases de inglés en línea. Los datos se recogieron mediante exámenes de diagnóstico y rendimiento, entrevistas semiestructuradas con los participantes, y observaciones realizadas por colegas. Los resultados revelaron que los estudiantes estaban acostumbrados a un enfoque deductivo y a un desempeño pasivo en el aula, así que se requería mayor atención a su desempeño. Además, se descubrió que el maestro tenía que reducir su tiempo de habla y alentar más a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades para la solución de problemas. Los resultados sugieren que usar un enfoque inductivo en la enseñanza de la gramática puede mejorar las habilidades lingüísticas de los estudiantes y su capacidad para aplicar su conocimiento a situaciones más realistas.
