This study investigated whether the implementation of inductive approachincreases students’ achievement in teaching grammar at the seventh grade students of SMP N 16 Cirebon.

This study employed quasi experimental design. The finding supported the research hypothesis that inductive approach is potential for students’ achievement in learning grammar, especially Inductive approach made classroom atmosphere actively, it seem when inductive approach was implemented in teaching and learning process, almost students have enthusiasm to answer the question
