English Language Method
  1. Each method has valuable techniques that may be used at the appropriate moment.
    1. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge such that the methodologies employed from differing disciplines vary depending on their historical development.
      1. The Direct Method
        1. It is used to teach a number of different languages not just English, and the main idea of the Direct A method is that only uses the target language that the students are trying to learn. Its main focus is oral skill and it is taught via repetitive drilling.
          1. Grammar is taught using an inductive way and students need to try and guess the rules through the teacher’s oral presentation.
          2. The Grammar Translation method (GTM)
            1. The method focuses on the literature and grammar of the target language, with passages being translated into and from the mother tongue. Consequently, it tends to be very much text-based. Typically, the teacher gives instructions and grammatical explanations in the mother tongue. Little or no attempt is made to teach pronunciation.
              1. The students learn all grammar rules, so they are able to translate a number of sentences.
              2. The Audio Lingual Method
                1. The Audio Lingual Method is otherwise known as the New Key Method or Army Method is based on a behaviorist theory that things are able to be learned by constant reinforcement.
                  1. The learner receives negative feedback and the contrary happens when a student demonstrates good use of English.
                  2. The Structural Approach
                    1. The method is all about structure. this approach need to be learned in a specific order, for example, the logical thing would be to teach the verb “to be” prior to teaching the present continuous which requires using the auxiliary form of the verb “to be.”
                    2. Suggestopedia
                      1. This is a behaviorist theory and related to pseudoscience. This method relies heavily on students’ belief about the method’s effectiveness. This theory is intended to offer learners various choices, which in turn helps them become more responsible for their learning.
                        1. When teachers are training to use the Suggestopedia method, there is a lot of art and music involved. Each Suggestopedia lesson is divided into three different phases as deciphering, concert session, and elaboration.
                        2. Total Physical Response
                          1. Beginners will learn English through a series of repetitive actions such as “Stand up”, “Open your book”, “Close the door”, and “Walk to the window and open it.” With TPR, the most important skill is aural comprehension and everything else will follow naturally later.
                          2. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) .
                            1. This type of teaching involves focusing on important functions like suggesting, thanking, inviting, complaining, and asking for directions to name but a few.
                            2. The Silent Way
                              1. The teacher acts merely as a facilitator trying to encourage students to be more active in their learning. The main of this way of teaching is for the teacher to say very little, so students can take control of their learning.
                                1. follows a structural syllabus and grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are constantly drilled and recycled for reinforcement. The teacher evaluates their students through careful observation, and it is even possible that they may never set a formal test as learners are encouraged to correct their own language errors.
                                2. Community Language Learning
                                  1. The student feels the safest as there is a great emphasis on the relationship and bond between the student and teacher. Unlike a lot of the other methods and approaches of teaching English as a Second Language, a a lot of the L1 (mother tongue) is used for translation purposes.
                                  2. The Lexical Approach
                                    1. This is based on computer studies that have previously identified the most commonly used words. This approach in teaching focuses on vocabulary acquisition and teaching lexical chunks in order of their frequency and use.
                                    2. Task Based Language Learning
                                      1. This is relevant, and interesting tasks are set by the teacher and students are expected to draw on their a pre-existing knowledge of English to complete the the task with as few errors as possible.
