This blog post features a very learner-friendly video about the distinction between deductive (broadly, general to specific) and inductive (broadly, specific to general) reasoning. In the video, examples of each type of reasoning are given. Then, learners are asked to categorize 10 statements based on the type of reasoning they exemplify. Though not created specifically for language teachers, language educators are encouraged to utilize videos like this to support learners in thinking about how they can reason through the target language. For example, what generalizations about social media posts can the learners make after observing 10 examples (inductive)? Or, after learning about a cultural lens related to a topic like family or beauty, what specific cultural products (e.g., print ads) can learners identify that espouse said lens?
