About language teaching methods and approaches mind maps
GoConqr OriginalLanguage teaching methods and approaches mind maps
These maps bring together topics for studying language teaching. ESL Teaching Methods introduces approaches including sheltered instruction, while TBL Task-Based Language Teaching outlines learning through tasks and collaborative work. Other maps look at teacher talk, classroom management and the use of comics with ESL and EFL students.
Build a revision route
Start with ESL Teaching Methods if you want an overview of approaches in an ESL context. Then use the task-based map to follow one approach in more detail. For a different focus, Teacher-talk in the language class offers a route into classroom communication.
As you revise, follow the branches of a map and summarise the connections in your own words. Compare maps when you want to consider more than one approach. Switch to a quiz on the unit page when you want to test recall, or to notes when you want to read a topic in another format. Choose a map that fits your current study topic.
