    The present study has investigated the application of the Inductive Method to the Teaching of the Writing Skill in the Department of English at Mouloud Mammeri University, Tizi-Ouzou. The investigation is concerned with teachers of the second year level. It aims to seek whether the writing skill is taught inductively, to identify the different strategies used by the instructors to improve students’ writing, and if it improves students’ performance in writing. In order to meet the objectives of the study we have applied Decco’s Modalities (1996). For collecting data, eighteen (18) classroom observation sessions have been conducted with seven (07) groups of students, and seven (07) questionnaires distributed to the observed teachers. As far as data analysis is concerned, we have adopted mixed-methods research combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative data are analyzed using the Statistical Package Analysis (SPSS). For the qualitative ones, they are analyzed using the Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA). The results of the study reveal that the majority of the teachers of the second year level do not implement the inductive method to teach the writing skill though they admit its great importance. In fact, there is only one teacher who adopts it. Besides, they follow set interesting strategies such as the deductive reasoning.
