📎 Advantages
✔️ it is a quicker and easier way to teach the rule to learners.
✔️ it confirms many students' expectations about classroom learning, particularly adult learners or analytical learners who want to know ‘what they are studying’.

📎 Disadvantages
✔️ grammar explanation tends to be teacher-fronted and does not actively involve learners.
✔️ grammat explanation might be cognitively demanding for young learners.
✔️ starting with grammar explanation might demotivate learners.
✔️ it leads to the belief that language involves just knowing the rules.
