WEEK 1TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching JovanaRadojkovic, MA
WEEK 1 • Discussion - classroom snapshots • Matching descriptions to pictures and commenting on classroom situations • Roles of a teacher • Traditional teaching • Positive vs. Negative atmosphere in class • Overcoming first lessons • Roles of a teacher, rapport • Teaching and experiential learning cycle • The subject matter of ELT • Language systems and skills • Teaching methods, matching, discussion • Jim Scrivener – Teaching learning pp. 9-33
???TEACHER??? • What were your teachers like? • What kind of teacher would you like to be? • Is your opinion influenced by your own teachers? To what extent?
TEACHER • Managerial • Presentation • Entertainer • Explainer • Transmission (“jug and mug”; “knower vs. learner”; TTT vs. STT) • Which model is predominant in the majority of countries? When? • Is there a change of emphasis in the 21st century?
TRADITIONAL TEACHING • Where does the teacher stand/sit? • What is the role of the teacher? • What is the role of the student? • Where do student sit/stand?
POVITIVE vs. NEGATIVE • In your groups sort out the features for creating positive/negative atmosphere in your classroom. • Comment on each. Group and class discussion.
RESPECT, EMPATHY, AUTHENTICITY • Is your “rapport” 100% natural or is it something that can be worked on and improved? • Carl Rogers • Explainer • Involver • Enabler
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ELT • What exactly are we teaching? • What is the subject matter of language teaching? (phonology, lexis, grammar, function, discourse) • Analyse the example: • A:“Pass me the book” • B:”Marry, put it in her bag”
DISTINGUISHING LANGUAGE SYSTEMS (F, D, L, G, P) • Lift vs. Elevator • A few vs. A little • Give me the book. vs. Could you pass me the book, please? • Market vs. Supermarket • Foot vs. Feet • I live in Spain. vs. I’m living in Spain. • Puck vs. Pack • Fabulous vs. Forego
METHODS • A method is a way of teaching. Your method depends on: • The aims of a course • What is being taught • Teaching techniques • Activity types • Ways of relating with students • Ways of assessing
METHODS • Grammar-Translation method • Audio-lingual Method • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) or Communicative Approach (CA) • Total Physical Response (TPR) • Community Language Learning (CLL) • The Natural Approach • Task-Based Learning • The Silent Way • Person – Centered Approaches • Lexical Approaches • Dogme • Personal Methodology
MATCH METHOD TEACHING EXAMPLE Forming a good model through students listening to model dialogues with repetition and drilling with little or no teacher explanation. Learners pick up the language just as a native speaker would have. Similar to learning the first language. The importance of lexical chunks in communication is emphasized and methodology is based on exposure and experiment. The teacher rarely uses the target language. The focus is on reading and translating texts and little time is dedicated to speaking and listening skills. • Grammar-Translation method • Lexical Approaches • The Natural Approach • Audio-lingual Method
MATCH METHOD TEACHING EXAMPLE Learners learn best when they participate in meaningful communication. Ss learn through a variety of exercises, activities and study with a bias towards listening and speaking. Mainly beginner and lower-level learners listen to instructions of the teacher and in response do things/activities however learners are not required to use the language themselves untill they feel comfortable and ready. Learners takes ownership of their language learning and paying attention to what they say. There is relative restraint of the teacher and the use of specially designed wallcharts. Teachers work out for themselves what works in their classrooms. Teachers choose different methodologies and apply them. • Personal Methodology • The Silent Way • Total Physical Response (TPR) • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) or Communicative Approach (CA) – strong and weak
MATCH METHOD TEACHING EXAMPLE Learners and theis needs are at the heart of what is done in class. The way of teaching and syllabus is agreeed together between learners and the teacher. Back-to-basics approach involving focusing on the fundamental interaction and relationship between the teacher and students in class. Not using technology and additional materials and aids. Preparation for, doing of an reflective analysis of tasks that reflect real life needs and skills. Lowering learner anxiety by using the first language and the teacher helps by mediating. • Dogme • Task-Based Learning • Community Language Learning (CLL) • Person – Centered Approaches
MEHODS • Methods discussion • Feedback, revision
