Techniques Redefined
• The term technique is virtually synonymous with procedure, practice, exercise,
strategy, activity and task.
• Even before Anthony (1963) defined the term technique, the language-teaching
literature widely accepted the term technique as a super-ordinate term to refer to
various activities that either teachers or learners perform in the classroom.
• In other words, techniques include any activity referring to the pedagogical
components of a classroom session.
Activities include :
• role-plays,
• drills,
• games,
• peer-editing,
• small-group activity and information-gap exercises.
• A task focuses on the authentic use of language for meaningful communicative
purposes beyond the language classroom.
Categories of Techniques : Mechanical, Meaningful Drills
• A drill is defined as a technique that focuses on a minimal
number of language forms ( grammatical or phonological
structures ) through some type of repetition or substitution
exercise.
• Drills are done chorally ( the whole class repeating together)
or individually.
• Mechanical drills have only one correct response.
• Meaningful drills have a limited set of possible responses.
Categories of Techniques : Controlled to Free Techniques
• Techniques range from the most controlled (manipulation) to free techniques
(communication).
• At one extreme end of the continuum, a technique is totally controlled by the teacher,
requiring a predicted response from the student(s), for example
- choral repetition, - dictation,
- substitution drills, - and reading aloud
• At the other end of the continuum, the communicative extreme, students’ responses are
open-ended and therefore unpredictable and teachers have a less controlled role, as
students are free to be creative with their responses.
• The extent of the teacher’s control over the learning activity can be classified as follows.
• Controlled Techniques Free Techniques
– Teacher-centred - Student-centred
– Manipulative - Communicative
– Structured - Open-ended
– Predicted student responses - Unpredicted responses
– Pre-planned objectives - Negotiated objectives
– Set curriculum - Cooperative curriculum
Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology
Textbooks and Other Written Texts
• The most common form of material support for language
instruction comes through textbooks.
• Texts, spoken or written, are of different types or genres of
linguistic forms.
• Among written texts, the range of possibilities extends :
• from short texts like labels, forms, charts, schedules,
advertisements, menus, posters,
• to essays, manuals and books ; textbooks are one type of a
book for use in an educational institution.
Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology
Technology in the Language Classroom
• Technology first entered the language classroom in the late
1950s in the form of the language laboratory.
• When the personal computer ( PC ) came on the scene in
the 1980s, the language-teaching profession could offer :
– linguistic input and output,
– feedback,
– student collaboration,
– interactivity,
– and fun.
Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology
Computer-Assisted Language Learning ( CALL )
• The recent advances in educational applications of computer hardware and
software have provided a resource for language classrooms.
• The benefits of including a computer component in language instruction are :
– practice with feedback,
– individualization in a large classroom,
– the fun factor,
– variety in the resources available and learning styles used,
– exploratory learning with large amounts of language data.
• E-mail is the most obvious way of using a computer for English teaching :
giving students the possibility for actual communication with individuals
around the world.
• E-mail “pen pals” have become popular. Through the web, certain chat
programs offer students real-time communication.
Conclusion
• Whatever the technique used, it has to be in
conformity with the approach believed in and
the teaching situation.

  • 3. Techniques Redefined • The term technique is virtually synonymous with procedure, practice, exercise, strategy, activity and task. • Even before Anthony (1963) defined the term technique, the language-teaching literature widely accepted the term technique as a super-ordinate term to refer to various activities that either teachers or learners perform in the classroom. • In other words, techniques include any activity referring to the pedagogical components of a classroom session. Activities include : • role-plays, • drills, • games, • peer-editing, • small-group activity and information-gap exercises. • A task focuses on the authentic use of language for meaningful communicative purposes beyond the language classroom.
  • 4. Categories of Techniques : Mechanical, Meaningful Drills • A drill is defined as a technique that focuses on a minimal number of language forms ( grammatical or phonological structures ) through some type of repetition or substitution exercise. • Drills are done chorally ( the whole class repeating together) or individually. • Mechanical drills have only one correct response. • Meaningful drills have a limited set of possible responses.
  • 5. Categories of Techniques : Controlled to Free Techniques • Techniques range from the most controlled (manipulation) to free techniques (communication). • At one extreme end of the continuum, a technique is totally controlled by the teacher, requiring a predicted response from the student(s), for example - choral repetition, - dictation, - substitution drills, - and reading aloud • At the other end of the continuum, the communicative extreme, students’ responses are open-ended and therefore unpredictable and teachers have a less controlled role, as students are free to be creative with their responses. • The extent of the teacher’s control over the learning activity can be classified as follows. • Controlled Techniques Free Techniques – Teacher-centred - Student-centred – Manipulative - Communicative – Structured - Open-ended – Predicted student responses - Unpredicted responses – Pre-planned objectives - Negotiated objectives – Set curriculum - Cooperative curriculum
  • 6. Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology Textbooks and Other Written Texts • The most common form of material support for language instruction comes through textbooks. • Texts, spoken or written, are of different types or genres of linguistic forms. • Among written texts, the range of possibilities extends : • from short texts like labels, forms, charts, schedules, advertisements, menus, posters, • to essays, manuals and books ; textbooks are one type of a book for use in an educational institution.
  • 7. Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology Technology in the Language Classroom • Technology first entered the language classroom in the late 1950s in the form of the language laboratory. • When the personal computer ( PC ) came on the scene in the 1980s, the language-teaching profession could offer : – linguistic input and output, – feedback, – student collaboration, – interactivity, – and fun.
  • 8. Designing Classroom Techniques and Technology Computer-Assisted Language Learning ( CALL ) • The recent advances in educational applications of computer hardware and software have provided a resource for language classrooms. • The benefits of including a computer component in language instruction are : – practice with feedback, – individualization in a large classroom, – the fun factor, – variety in the resources available and learning styles used, – exploratory learning with large amounts of language data. • E-mail is the most obvious way of using a computer for English teaching : giving students the possibility for actual communication with individuals around the world. • E-mail “pen pals” have become popular. Through the web, certain chat programs offer students real-time communication.
  • 9. Conclusion • Whatever the technique used, it has to be in conformity with the approach believed in and the teaching situation.
