This document discusses different approaches to teaching language systems. It describes deductive and inductive approaches, where deductive introduces grammar rules first and inductive uses examples to deduce rules. It also discusses using gestures, pictures, diagrams and written explanations to teach vocabulary and concepts. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of practice and repetition to move learning from short-term to long-term memory.

5. Thedeductiveapproach Students are givenexplanations of GRAMMAR rules, and then, basedonexplanationsor rules theymakephrases and sentencesusingthe new language

6. Theinductiveapproach (theotherwayaround) Produce language Instead of studying rules, studentsstudyexamples of language and try toworkoutthose rules (practice) (fluency)

10. We can use picturestoexplainsituations and concepts Diagrams Time lines (presentperfectcontinuous tense)

11. Ifwecant’ show something in one of thewaysmentionedabove, we can describe themeaning of theword Forexample: nastyistheopposite of nice For a betterunderstanding use CHECK QUESTIONS ?

12. Wealso can demonstrateword and sentence stress bybeating time withourarms. We can show intonationpatternsby ‘drawing’ the tune in the air
