2. It provides details on techniques used in each methodology such as repetition drills, focus on form vs meaning, and teacher vs student centered approaches.
3. The final sections discuss factors to consider when choosing a methodology such as the cultural context and balancing affective, cognitive, and linguistic elements.
2. Grammar Translation: Students were
given explanations of individual points of
grammar, and then they were given sentences which
exemplified these points.
Direct Method: Translation was abandoned in
favor of the teacher and the students speaking
together.
Audiolingualism: Using the stimulus –
response-reinforcement model, it attempted, trough a
continuous process of such positive reinforcement, to
engender good habits in language learners.
