2. TEACHING
METHODOLOGY
Choosing a teaching methodology will
make the process of teaching English as a
second language (ESL) easier and more
rewarding for you and your students, and
increase the likelihood of success.
3. THE THREE MOST COMMON
STAGES IN TEACHING
METHODOLOGIES FOR ESL.
Presentation
Practice
Production
4. PRESENTATION
Presentation is presenting the current language lesson
to the student. It involves the building of a situation
requiring natural and logical use of the new language.
This is the first (and
perhaps most crucial)
stage to the language learning
process, as it usually has a
profound influence on the stages
that follow and governs whether
those stages are effective
or not.
5. PRESENTATIONS SHOULD HAVE AT
LEAST SOME OF THE FOLLOWING
FEATURES:
Meaningful
memorable and realistic examples
logical connection; context; clear models
sufficient meaningful repetition
"staging" and "fixing"
briefness and recycling.
6. PRACTICE
Practice is the middle stage to communicative
language teaching through activities that require them
to speak English., but exactly that - the "middle"
stage. Practice helps students in the progress
toward mastery of the concepts presented.
7. PRACTICE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST
SOME OF THE FOLLOWING
FEATURES:
Practice should be clear and understandable.
It should also be directed toward promoting a
considerable degree of confidence in the students.
Practice should be carefully laid out that looks
"attractive" to the eye will generate the students'
motivation.
8. PRODUCTION
The Production Stage is the most important stage of
communicative language teaching.
Successful Production is a clear
indication that the language
learners have made the
transition from "students"
of the key language to "users"
of the language.
