Approaches in Language Teaching

1) GRAMMAR TRANSLATION

first used in the teaching

the classical languages

Latin and Greek

The purpose of
helping students to read and appreciate foreign language literature

students would probably never use the target language

2) DIRECT METHOD

It was revived as a method

the goal

instruction became learning

use another language to communicate.

No translation is allowed

Demonstration and visual aids

3) AUDIO-LINGUAL

Oral-based approach

drills students

use of grammatical sentence patterns.

Language has place within a context

Learning is a process of habit
formation

4) SILENT WAY

The teacher makes use of what students
already know

Silence is a tool

Helps to foster
autonomy, or the exercise of initiative

Meaning is made clear

Focusing students’ perceptions, not through
translation.

5)TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

Meaning in the target language

often be conveyed through actions.

Memory is activated through learner response

The imperative is a powerful linguistic
device through

The teacher can
direct student behavior

6) Suggestopedia

help students eliminate the feeling that they
cannot be successful

the negative association they may have toward studying

to help them overcome the barriers to learning

7)Community Language Learning

teachers have some understanding of the relationship

students’ feelings, physical reactions

instinctive protective reactions, and desire to learn

9)Communicative Language Teaching

develop the ability to communicate

effectively in the target language

target language is a vehicle for
classroom communication

just the
object of study.

8) Natural method

Aims to foster naturalistic language acquisition in a classroom setting

communication, and places

importance on conscious grammar study and explicit correction of student errors.
