This paper studies the rationale for allowing Data-driven learning (DDL) more prominence in the EFL classroom. After covering some pertinent issues and developments in the field of pedagogic grammar (PG), the case for DDL will be discussed. The last part of this paper features uses of data-driven learning with Japanese university students, with special consideration given to their reactions to this new form of grammar learning.
