This document discusses approaches and methods for teaching English as a foreign language. It defines an approach as a set of assumptions about language teaching and learning, while a method is the procedural implementation of an approach. Some example approaches mentioned are the grammatical translation approach, direct approach, and audio-lingual method. The document also discusses concepts like techniques, which are specific classroom activities, and methods for designing syllabi and lesson plans. Overall, the document provides an overview of different philosophies and frameworks for instructing English as a second language.
2. WHAT IS AN APPROACH?
Your beliefs about
language and how it
is learned.
What you think
about teaching and
learning
It consists of the techniques and activities that we use in order to teach a language
12. METHODS
It is the mode
to achieve a
goal
Its aim is to
complete the
teaching
objective
Planning and
adequate
systematizati
on
Includes
actions and
operations to
get the goal
13. KINDS OF METHODS:
•They allows the obtaining of
knowledge.
•Ex:: inductive, deductive,
analytical and synthetic.
Logical
methods
•Procedures that we use to do a
specific task in the class with
educative purposes.
•Developed with different
pedagogical theories.
Pedagogical
methods
17. Carry out a method. It is implementational, meaning that
a technique is something that actually takes place in
language teaching or learning in the classroom.
TECHNIQUE
18. The Natural Approach is designed to develop basic
communication skills.
The development stages are:
1. Comprehension (preproduction)
2. Early Production
3. Speech Emergence
THE NATURAL APPROACH IN THE
CLASSROOM
19. APPROACH FOR TEACHING
ENGLISH
An approach is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the nature of language
teaching and learning. An approach is axiomatic. It describes the nature of the subject
matter to be taught.
An approach is axiomatic, a method is procedural. Within one approach, there can be
many methods. A technique is implementation – that which actually takes place in a
classroom. It is a particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplish an
immediate objective.
20. Translation Grammatical Approach
Based on reading and writing, analysis of grammar rules, memorizing vocabulary and grammatical sentences
translation from one language to another.
Direct approach
In this method it is intended that students learn to think in the target language; to achieve this, the class, in
the language of study, is not allowed to speak in the native language, vocabulary and sentences focus on
daily life, the aim is oral communication and therefore practice hearing.
21. Audio-lingual method
The basis of this method is structuralism and
repetition: the teacher says or writes a sentence,
repeat it and students are becoming progressive
replacement of the parts of the grammatical sentence;
examples are use and the students memorize it.
Communication Approach
The objective is communication; the four language
skills are taught: listening, speaking, reading and
writing; grammar is not taught deliberately, no errors
are corrected. It's like when a child learns the mother
tongue.
