  2. When we learn our first language we’re likely to learn it in different ways and in different contexts from when we learn a second language (L2). We are also likely to be a different age. Task 1: What differences can you think of between L1 and L2 learning. Think about the learners’ age, ways of learning and context that they are learning in. Spratt, et al., 2005. The TKT Course What are the differences between L1 and L2 learning?

  3. Methodology as a concept… • It refers to a way of teaching. It has to do with what language is, how people learn, how teaching helps people learn. The teacher has to make methodological decisions about the aims of a course, what to teach, teaching techniques, activity types, ways of relating with students, ways of assessing. Scrivener, 2005, Learning Teaching

  4. Methodology as a concept… • Pedagogical practices in general (including theoretical underpinnings and related research). Whatever considerations are involved in ‘how to teach’ are methodological. Brown, 2001 Teaching by Principles

  5. Approach: it is something that reflects a certain model or research paradigm- a theory (braodest term) E.g. Communicative Method: it is a set of procedures, a system that spells out rather precisely how to teach a second or foreign language. E.g. TPR Technique: it’s a classroom device or activity and thus represents the narrowest of the three concepts. Eg. Dictation, repetition Celce-Mucia, 2001 Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language Terminology that is crucial…

  6. Approach: theoretically well-informed positions and beliefs about the nature of language, the nature of learning, and the applicability of both to pedagogical settings. Method: a generalized set of classroom specifications for accomplishing linguistic objectives. Methods tend to be concerned primarily with teacher and student roles and behaviours. Terminology that is crucial

  7. Technique: any of a wide variety of exercises, activities or tasks used in the language classroom for realizing lesson objectives. Brown, 2001 Teaching by Principles Curriculum/Syllabus: designs for carrying out a particular language program. Features include a primary concern with the specification of linguistic and subject matter objectives, sequencing, and materials to meet the needs of a designated group of learners in a defined context. Terminology that is crucial
