Approaches to language teaching
The unit is mainly about to our view of language and
our view of how language learning takes place, approaches that have had an
important impact on teaching English, practices and materials. Let´s look at the
most important for me and its characteristics:
Presentation
Practice and Production: learner can´t
make mistakes during the practice stage, the decision are taken only by the teacher
about what and how to learn. This approaches contains activities like situational presentations, miming, drills
and information gap activity.
Grammar
translation method is the oldest one, t consist on working out what language
means by applying rules, isolated sentences from L1 to L2 or vice versa, the emphasis in on grammatical accuracy . The
language is view as a grammatical rules.
The next one is called CLIL (Content and language Integrated learning)
.The lessons focus on the subject rather than on language therefore,
language serves to communicate meaning. Language is mainly learnt through acquisition and through
using it so the school subject is taught is the L2.
And finally the most known by all of my teachers who
say that use it but some of them don´t do it. Communicative approaches´ task focus on
communicative needs, fluency is more important accuracy and authentic material are often use in the classroom.
As we can see some approaches are more developed in
some areas than others
Me as a future teacher can create a mixture of the
approaches, remember the learning styles, cousebooks and syllabus that
influenced on the approaches that teacher can use.
