2. • In teaching english to young learners, the teachers
must comprehend the concept of teaching. They
also have to provides a description of the basic
prinsiples and procedures of the most recognized
and commonly used approaches and methods for
teaching a second or foreign language. Each
approach or method has an articulated theoretical
orientation and a collection of strategies and
learning activities designed to reach the specified
goals and achieve the learning outcomes of the
teaching and learning processes. The following
approaches and methods are included below:
3. • Grammar-translation approach
In this method, classes are taught in the students
mother tangue, with little active use of the target
language.
4. • Direct approach
This approach was developed initially as a reaction to
the grammar-translation approach in an attempt to
integrate more use of the target language in
instruction.
6. • Total physical response (TPR)
• Total physical response (TPR) method as one that
combines information and skills through the use of
the kinesthetic sensory system.
7. • Communicative language teaching
The method stresses a means of organizing a
language syllabus. The emphasis is on breaking down
the global concept of language into units of analysis
in terms of communicative situations in which they are
used.
8. • The Eclectic Approach (or Eclecticism)
• The idea of choosing from different methods to suite
for one's teaching purposes and situations is not a
new one.
9. • Reading approach
• The approach is mostly for people who do not travel
abroad for whom reading is the one usable skill in a
foreign language.
10. • Community language learning (CCL)
• This approach is patterned upon counceling
techniques and adapted to the peculiar anxiety
and threat as well as the personal and languge
problems a person encounters in the learning of
foreign languages.
11. • Suggestopedia
• This method developed out of believe that human
brain could process great quantities of material
given the right conditions of learning like relaxation.
12. • The natural approach
• This method emphasized development of basic
personal communication skills.
13. • The silent way
• This method begins by using a set of colored
wooden rods and verbal commands.
14. • In a phenomenographic study Trigwell, Prosser and Taylor
(1994) identified five qualitatively different approaches to
teaching as follows:
1. Approach A: A teacher-focused strategy with the
intention of transmitting information to students.
2. Approach B: A teacher-focused strategy with the intention
that srudents acquire the concepts of the discipline.
3. Approach C : A teacher/student interaction strategy with
the inention that students acquire the concepts of the
discipline
4. Approach D : A student-focused strategy aimed at
students developing their conceptions
5. Approach E : A student-focused strategy aimed at
students changing their conceptions.
