This document discusses trends in second language teaching approaches from traditional to contemporary methods. It addresses stimuli for change, including the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches and the relevance of language learning. It also covers syllabus design challenges, such as separating content and process, and specifying linguistic elements. Finally, it examines teaching approaches, including transmission versus interpretation models of learning and high-structure versus low-structure instructional environments.

1. From the
traditional to the
Contemporary In
Second Language
Teaching and
Learning

2. • Pendulum effects –
teaching passion have
swung.
Issues and
Concepts:

3. Stimuli For Change
 ineffectiveness of
traditional approaches
Relevance of language
learning to general
education

4. Syllabus Design
• Difficulty of separating
content and process in a
communicative syllabus
• Linguistic specification as
second-order activity.

5. Approach to Teaching
• Transmission versus
interpretation models of
learning.
• High – structure versus
low-structure pedagogical
enviroments.

6. - Has to do with
selecting and
sequencing-
content,
methodology and
evaluation.

8. Examples:
“We want learners to know how to contrast
the simple past and perfect tenses”
“We’ll get learners to do a set of substitution
drills involving present perfect and simple
past”
We want learners to be able to give an
informal oral presentation on a subject of
their choice”

10.  Transmission versus
Interpretation Models
of Learning
 High-Structure
versus Low-Structure
Teaching

11. HIGH-STRUCTURE TEACHING SITUATIONS
ARE THOSE IN WHICH THE TEACHER IS VERY
MUCH IN CONTROL OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL
PROCESS. IN THESE SITUATIONS, LEARNERS
HAVE RELATIVELY HAVE A LITTLE POWER
OR CONTROL OVER EITHER THE CONTENT
OR PROCESS OF LEARNING. LOW STRUCTURE
TEACHING SITUATIONS, ON THE OTHER
HAND, PROVIDE LEARNERS WITH A
NUMEROUS OPTIONS AND A GREAT DEAL
OF AUTONOMY.
