Methodology APPROACHES TO THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH By: Fatimah Abu Karsh
1- Communicative approach: *It always refers to speaking activities. *From its name this method needs students communicate for real. *It’s based on the theory which said : “ children can acquire lg. rules by using lg. rather than through the study of grammar”
* It involves creating situations where students have a genuine need to say something.
2- P.P.P It refers to : *Presentation *Practice *Production
This is the same traditional way to structure a lesson which was popular throughout the 1980s. • It’s good at lower levels and it’s widely used till today. *Presenting: “from its name” means presenting a lg. point { this usually done by the teacher}
*practices refers to controlled practice . *It involves students using the target lg. in a controlled way. e.g. drills, controlled written & speaking activities, & repetition. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *presentation is considered a similar point between both of audio-lingual & PPP {both use pictures & focused learning} .^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *production : refers to freer practice
Here the students use the target lg. in sentences of their own. • E.g. “have you ever been to Mexico” The students’ answers will have the same structure “have you ever” ,but the vocabulary will vary.
3- Task –based learning • The teacher set a task for students to involve the use of lg. that has not studied in class previously. • The task might be activity from the course book. • The teacher must not correct them during the activity.
The teacher may write some notes about the students’ performance for him/herself to see how well/badly they performed. • An advice: It shouldn’t use by the new teachers because it requires knowledge of the lg. point & the ability to handle any unexpected questions .
4- ESA *Engage *Study *Activate
1-Engage: • It involves getting students’ attention or interest by using a story told by the teacher or a picture. • The idea is that if the students are engaged , they are more open to the learning process.
2- Study: • It focuses on a lg. point . • It could be a grammar ,vocabulary, or any lesson the teacher wants to give. 3- Activating: Means having students use the lg. by any activities. We can use the three stages in one lesson but not necessarily in that order.
