1. GRAMMAR - TRANSLATION METHOD (I)
• Originally used to teach 'dead' languages (and literatures) such as Latin and Greek. (1890 – 1930)
• Language = collection of isolated words.• Principles:
o Literary language is superior to the spoken language. o Translating is the goal.o Teacher = authority.o The primary skills to be improved are reading and
writing no spoken communication or listening comprehension.
o Its focus is on accuracy and not fluency.o Error correction: If a student’s answer is incorrect, the
teacher asks another student to answer no feedback
1. GRAMMAR - TRANSLATION METHOD (II)
• Typical exercises:o Translation of a Literary Passageo Reading Comprehension Questionso Antonym/synonymso Fill-in-the-blankso Deductive Application of Rule
• Easier for the teacher.• Students =bored.

2. COGNITIVE APPROACH• Origin1950ies psychology & applied linguistics ( J.B. Carroll and K.
Chastain)• Language = a set of skills the modern version of the grammar-translation
method• FL learning = the conscious study of grammatical rules (deductive) only
meaningful practice is effective.• FL teaching = the development of linguistic competence.• Careful with imitation and memorization. • Student’s mistakes = a necessary and natural phenomenon.• The cognitive approach is essentially a theoretical framework.• LAD is determining.
3. AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD• Origin WWII Behaviorist theory (stimulus-response-reinforcement)• Language = a collection of habits.• FL learning = a mechanical process of habit formation.• FL teaching = manipulation of language elements that occur in fixed
relationships . • “Drill, drill, and more drill, and only enough vocabulary to make such drills
possible" (Hockett 1959)• Student’s mistakes = don´t help to develop the habits, should be corrected immediately.• The child is moulded by regularities the environment.
4.Direct Method (1970)• Developed by Maximilian Berlitz• No use of mother tongue=meaning is connected with a target language• Grammar rules avoided (don´t give rules:make them figure out the rule)• Never translate= act and demonstrate• Teacher-student/student-student activities(reading
aloud,question-answer exercises,fill-in-the-blank• Emphasis on good pronunciation/oral transmission• Speech and listening comprehension are
taught(contextual/topical teaching)
5.The natural/communicative approach
• origin→Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen• Focus on communicative competence:auralcomprehension/ early speech production/ speech activities• Comprehension precedes production• Small groups of students• Visualization activities: slide presentations, word games, dialogues,
recreational activities,realia• The classroom=student-centered
6. Total Physical Response
• Developed by J.Asher,based on the coordination of speech and action
• Primarily designed for students in early stages of language learning
• Command forms used to convey info• Students not forced to speak until ready• The importance of aural comprehension
7. THE SILENT WAY• Originated in 1963 by Dr.Caleb Gattegno (Egypt)• Teacher – silent , learners – speaking• Emphasis on PRONUNCIATION. Self-correction.• Role of the teacher – observer• No use of the mother tongue. No translation. Context• No formal evaluation just observation.• Use of CHARTS

8. SUGGESTOPEDIA
• An avant garde method/ 1967/ Georgi Lozanov• Small & intensive classes• Material presented in melodic and artistic way• Relaxation is needed• Memory training• Language perceived globally
9. COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING
• Elaborated by Charles Curran (USA)• It encourages personal growth, and self-development• Learning a language is viewed as collective experience• Based on communication Oral proficiency• Use of the mother tongue. • Activities : translation, transcription, free conversation,
listening, reflection and observation, repeating• Focus on fluency rather than accuracy• GoalsUnderstanding & Speaking
10. LANGUAGE IMMERSION
• The regular school curriculum is taught through the medium of the target language.
• The second language is the vehicle for content instruction
• Focus on fluency• Main purposes: to promote bilingualism and
develop learner’s communicative competence • The first modern language immersion programs
appeared in Canada in the 1960’s
11. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT)
• Aim: to communicate effectively and appropriately
• Emphasis on interaction • Similar to the Communicative Approach• Different situations and functions: inviting,
suggesting, expression of time, visiting a doctor…
• More important to achieve the defined outcome rather than have accuracy on language forms
• Language use outside the classroom• Classroom activities
12. STRUCTURAL APPROACH
• Language as a set of grammatical rules and structures to be learned
• Emphasis on speech rather than reading or writing
• Habit formation, repetitions and drill exercises• Mastery of structures is more important than the
acquisition of vocabulary• Pupil’s activity• This approach has some disadvantages
