7. Using previous learning models and

My method of teaching: Eclectic
approach
8. My school and learning theories :
Social Learning (the one I can remember the
most)
I am sure there were other learning theories
being applied, but this one was the most
memorable.
9. General principles of social learning theory follows:
People can learn by observing the behavior is of others and the
outcomes of those behaviors.
People are often reinforced for modeling the behavior of others.
Self efficacy: People are more likely to engage in certain
behaviors when they believe they are capable of executing those
behaviors successfully. This means that they will have high self-
efficacy.
How self-efficacy affects behavior:
Joy of activities: individuals typically choose activities they feel
they will be successful in doing.

11. In the move away from teachers following
one specific methodology, the eclectic
approach is the label given to a teacher's use
of techniques and activities from a range of
language teaching approaches and
methodologies. The teacher decides what
methodology or approach to use depending
on the aims of the lesson and the learners in
the group.
