Methods and Approaches

Grammar-Translation Method

Focus: Grammar.

Goal: Read literature from English speaking countries.

Constant use of L1.

Important macroskills: Reading and writing.

Direct Method

Goal: To make the learning process more natural. Simmilar to the acquisition of L1.

Important macroskills: Listening and speaking.

Lessons exclusively in English.

Audiolingual Method

Based on the psychological theory of behaviourism (stimulus-response-feedback)

Focus: Forming new habits and getting rid of old ones from L1.

Use of drills and repetition

Communicative Language Teaching

Based on cognitive psychology

Language learning involves active mental processes

The acquisition of the language is subconscious.

Use of drills.

Humanistic Language Teaching

The Silent Way

The teacher is silent (most of the time) and the students speak.

Teacher role: Facilitator or stimulator.

Discovery and creation of rules (inductive approach)

Suggestopaedia

Focus: Relaxation of students.

Students and teacher = Parent-children.

Learning is accidental and natural.

Community Language Learning

Learning occurs in an interpersonal relationship.

Students need to be comfortable to learn.

Teacher role: Counsellor.

Learners role: Expected to be independent and collaborative.

Lexical Approach

Goal: Learning lexical phrases.

Teaching of fixed expressions which usually occur in dialogues

Use of authentic material

Total Physical Response

Learning is more successful if it is associated with physical movement acitivities.

Sub Topic

Used especially in child language acquisition.

Use of the imperative mode.

Task-Based Language Learning

The acquisition of the language is reached by successfully completing tasks.

Teacher role: Facilitator.

Assessment of learning: If students could complete the tasks or not.

Eclectic Approach

The 4 macroskills are equally important.

Learning as a collaborative process (learners-learners and learners-teacher)

Teachers can mix different approaches and techniques from different methods.

Focus: Learners' needs and goals.

Focus: Using English in real contexts.

Inductive Approach

Goal: To teach students how to use the language.

Use of imitation instead of following rules.

Language is taught by using pictures and examples.

Deductive Approach

Teaching of explicit rules to learn the language.

Based on rote learning

Focus on grammar
