The grammar-translation method was widely used to teach Latin in the 1500s and was later adopted to teach modern languages in Europe in the 18th-19th centuries. It focuses on teaching grammar rules and having students translate texts between the native and target languages. Classes are conducted in the native language, and there is no speaking practice. While it helps with reading and writing skills, students gain little ability in speaking the language. For this reason, other methods have largely replaced grammar-translation, though some of its approaches remain in certain areas.

Theories on first and second language acquisition are examined, including behavioral, innatist and interactionist perspectives. Stages of second language development and implications for instruction are also outlined. The document stresses the need for explicit instruction, modeling, practice and support for English language learners that is differentiated from teaching English as a first language.
This document presents information on translation techniques as part of a collaborative activity. It discusses using translation to enhance language learning skills such as reading, grammar, vocabulary, and intercultural competence. While some educators have banned translation from language classrooms, it can aid learning, practice skills, and test proficiency. Translation is also a useful real-world skill and promotes noticing differences between languages. The document provides bibliographic references and assigns the task of creating a mind map about translation procedures, strategies, methods, and techniques in language teaching.
The document discusses the evolution of methods for teaching foreign languages over time. While translation was historically important, communicative methodologies that became dominant abandoned it. These new methods focus on developing students' communicative competence and ability to use the foreign language in real-life contexts. While communicative methods are effective, the document argues that translation still has an implicit role to play as an occasional guide, and no single methodology should be considered absolute.

This document discusses learning outcomes and supporting language learning. It lists several purposes of learning outcomes, including providing focus for instruction, guidelines for learning, and targets for assessment. It also discusses tips for supporting language learning in content classes, such as creating a safe environment, using the target language consistently, speaking clearly, and providing repetition and opportunities to practice all language skills. The goal is to build equal status for the language used in school and recognize student effort.
The direct method of teaching a foreign language refrains from using the learner's native language and uses only the target language. Developed around 1900 in Germany and France, it aims to teach a second language similarly to acquiring a first language. The direct method consists of five parts: showing vocabulary using realia or gestures, saying words and sentences, having students try repetitions, correcting pronunciation, and repeating words. While it effectively teaches the language itself, its assumptions about second language acquisition have been criticized, and public schools found it difficult to implement due to constraints.
This document discusses a research project on using dialogues to teach English as a second language. It notes that Panamanian schools do not often use dialogues, focusing more on writing and reading than speaking and listening. The research aims to show how dialogues can help students develop English skills like pronunciation and conversation ability in a natural way. It presents hypotheses that dialogues are effective for language instruction and reduce student stress. The document outlines the research objectives, questions, key terms, and proposes ways to implement dialogues in the classroom, such as role-plays and oral tests.

2) It describes various classroom activities modeled during the program, such as discussing news topics, creative writing prompts, and role plays, focused on integrating language and content learning.
3) It concludes with a reflection on how the program has helped improve her understanding and application of the CLIL approach in bilingual education.
The document calls for a new approach to developing English fluency in teachers who teach English as a second language. It argues that teachers need specific English language skills and knowledge related to teaching, not just general fluency. A proposed solution is a "Teaching English in English" course that teaches the classroom-related English vocabulary, expressions, and language teachers need to effectively teach in English. The course would provide situated practice opportunities for teachers to learn and demonstrate their English teaching skills.
Translation techniques have three main purposes according to Duff: accuracy, clarity, and flexibility. It trains learners to search for appropriate words to convey meaning. Translation is useful in an increasingly globalized world as it promotes deeper understanding of meaning, structure, and use of both the native and target languages. Comparing differences between languages through translation helps students avoid mistakes and understand cultural differences, developing important intercultural skills. While translation is not always word-for-word, students find translation exercises useful for language learning.
The document discusses strategies for educating English Language Learners (ELLs) in American classrooms. It notes there are 149 languages spoken and students have different experiences and language abilities. It recommends using an asset model and scaffolding instruction. ELL language acquisition occurs in stages from pre-production to advanced fluency. Strategies are outlined for each stage, such as total physical response, interactive word walls, dual language books, and closed captioning. The goal is to create awareness of cultural diversity's impact and equip teachers with effective ELL teaching methods.

Top ELL educators will share their expertise on issues and solutions for helping these students succeed academically.
This document presents an essay discussing the importance of translation techniques in English language teaching. It argues that while communicative methodologies became dominant in the 1970s, translation is still very important for learning a new language. It is necessary for communicating meanings accurately in different contexts. The best approach combines learning grammar, phonetic, and translation techniques with communicative methodologies. This allows students to effectively communicate meanings and use language skills in real-world situations. In conclusion, both communicative methods and translation techniques are important for properly using a new language.
The document discusses how learning management systems (LMS) can help link electronic learning materials directly to curricula. LMS are online platforms that allow teachers and students to manage coursework electronically. When used properly, LMS can facilitate blended learning by combining online and face-to-face instruction. However, barriers like lack of educational content aligned with curricula and technical issues can limit LMS effectiveness. Overall, LMS have potential to enhance learning if implemented properly with curriculum integration and educator support.
The document discusses introducing English language learning at a young age, both informally at home and formally in school settings. While some research shows young learners can acquire language skills effectively, other research argues it may interfere with first language development or cause learning fatigue. The spread of English as a global language is also discussed, as well as issues related to teaching English as a foreign language to young learners, such as teacher training, program goals, and language of instruction. An ongoing study in Israel examines programs teaching English to first graders, comparing teacher knowledge and student outcomes between English teachers and general home room teachers.
This course is taught by Rukaia Islam and aims to help students apply their English knowledge in real life, understand English fundamentals, and develop their four basic English skills. The course will help students recognize their English background, review grammar, learn learning methods, improve pronunciation and vocabulary, and develop writing skills. Students will practice skills through classroom activities and assessments, using an online platform for materials, tools and communication. Assessment includes performance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam worth 100 total marks.
This document discusses principles for designing English language course content and sequencing. It addresses determining units of progression, selecting content based on learner and teacher needs, and ordering content. Key points include using high-frequency vocabulary and grammar structures as initial units, considering learner age and expectations, and allowing for absenteeism through revision units and a modular arrangement. Frequency research should guide content selection and repetition to aid mastery.
This document discusses trends in language teaching methods over time. It describes the grammar translation method, direct method, and audio-lingual method. It then focuses on communicative language teaching (CLT), which aims to develop students' communicative competence through social interaction and meaningful tasks. CLT assumes language is learned gradually and students have different needs, so teachers should facilitate classroom communication and establish a community environment. The document also outlines 10 core assumptions of CLT, including that communication should be meaningful, content relevant, and a holistic process facilitated through discovery activities.
The document discusses teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) to young learners. There are differing views on whether a language should be introduced at a young age in a formal school setting. While some research shows that learning is most efficient at older ages, other factors support early language learning such as enhanced oral ability and confidence. The document also examines the spread of English as a global language and the implications for EFL teaching methodology and teacher qualifications for young learners. An ongoing study in Israel evaluates programs where home room teachers teach English in first grade.

Investigating the Challenges Faced by Iraqi Secondary School Students in Engl...MehranMouzam
The aim of the current study is to uncover the challenges encountering Iraqi students in the secondary school classrooms. Five students in a public secondary school located in Misan province participate in this investigational study. The study explores the challenges the students face in the learning process; particularly in the acquisition of oral proficiency. However, oral proficiency, even as used by the teacher, hardly ever functions as a means for students to acquire knowledge and explore new ideas. This paper attempts to identify the challenges or problems that students encounter in teaching English oral proficiency.
Data collection methods used in this study include students’ interviews and classroom observations. After collecting information and taking notes on the students’ oral proficiency. Data collected demonstrates that the acquisition of the students’ oral proficiency is associated with several challenges and problems that inhibit their pursuit to interact and express themselves in real-life situations. In sum, the study concludes that when learning English oral proficiency, several challenges prevent the students’ oral performance or progress such as improperly trained teacher, government policy, assessment systems, exposure to English, and less use of audio-visual aids etc.

This document discusses using communicative language teaching (CLT) to improve students' speaking skills in Vietnam. It summarizes the context of English education in Vietnam, which focuses mainly on grammar rather than speaking. This has resulted in students graduating without strong speaking abilities. The researcher aims to conduct a study applying CLT at a private language center. CLT places students in authentic communicative situations and changes the teacher's role to a facilitator. The study will observe the impact of CLT on 25 students' speaking over 10 weeks and collect feedback from teachers to evaluate the innovative approach.
The document discusses the challenges of teaching English in Indonesia. It notes that while English is an important global language, teaching it faces several issues in Indonesia as English is not commonly used locally. Some problems are large class sizes, limited time allocated to English instruction, and lack of opportunities for students to practice speaking English. Teachers also have difficulties implementing communicative language approaches due to the environment. The document suggests that smaller class sizes, more time for English, and arrangements allowing social interaction could help address these issues.

How a teacher presents information and motivates students to talk in English can seriously decide the efficiency of an English class; therefore, teachers need to explore sufficient approaches to stimulate students to talk. Coaching students to be involved in the process of communication can greatly satisfy individualized English learning. The author here will analyze teaching speaking based on multimodality and put forward some suggestions for English learners and teachers.
The document discusses teaching speaking skills and the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method. It states that traditionally, speaking skills have been undervalued and taught through passive methods, negatively impacting students' English competence and enjoyment. The CLT method aims to address these issues by creating meaningful, interactive activities to develop students' communicative abilities. Role-play is identified as an effective technique within the CLT method by allowing students to use English in realistic scenarios. The study aims to determine if using the CLT method, specifically role-play, improves the speaking skills of eighth grade students.

It begins with an introduction that language and vocabulary are important for communication. It then discusses the background of the study, including definitions of vocabulary and vocabulary trees. The study aims to examine the vocabulary achievement scores of students taught with vocabulary trees versus a conventional method. It proposes that vocabulary trees may help students learn and retain more words. The significance is that it could provide teachers an effective new technique and help students improve their English vocabulary mastery.
Education, discipline that is concerned with methods of teaching and learning in schools or school-like environments as opposed to various nonformal and informal means of socialization (e.g., rural development projects and education through parent-child relationships).
(Read Arne Duncan’s Britannica essay on “Education: The Great Equalizer.”)
Education can be thought of as the transmission of the values and accumulated knowledge of a society. In this sense, it is equivalent to what social scientists term socialization or enculturation. Children—whether conceived among New Guinea tribespeople, the Renaissance Florentines, or the middle classes of Manhattan—are born without culture. Education is designed to guide them in learning a culture, molding their behaviour in the ways of adulthood, and directing them toward their eventual role in society. In the most primitive cultures, there is often little formal learning—little of what one would ordinarily call school or classes or teachers. Instead, the entire environment and all activities are frequently viewed as school and classes, and many or all adults act as teachers. As societies grow more complex, however, the quantity of knowledge to be passed on from one generation to the next becomes more than any one person can know, and, hence, there must evolve more selective and efficient means of cultural transmission. The outcome is formal education—the school and the specialist called the teacher.
As society becomes ever more complex and schools become ever more institutionalized, educational experience becomes less directly related to daily life, less a matter of showing and learning in the context of the workaday world, and more abstracted from practice, more a matter of distilling, telling, and learning things out of context. This concentration of learning in a formal atmosphere allows children to learn far more of their culture than they are able to do by merely observing and imitating. As society gradually attaches more and more importance to education, it also tries to formulate the overall objectives, content, organization, and strategies of education. Literature becomes laden with advice on the rearing of the younger generation. In short, there develop philosophies and theories of education.

This study aimed to identify tasks requiring speaking skills and problems with speaking English among students at Ajloun National University in Jordan. The researchers interviewed 20 students to understand their experiences. They found that the most common in-class speaking task was conversation, followed by questioning, explaining, and discussion. Students reported facing problems like limited vocabulary, embarrassment, and difficulty pronouncing words. The researchers suggested solutions like practicing speaking inside and outside class, using social media, and addressing problems at school to improve students' speaking abilities.
Recently English has been employed as a medium of instruction at the Vietnamese tertiary level. It is necessary to teach its students listening strategies to help them deal with the potential problems that may arise during listening or prepare them for their further educational purposes. This study, therefore, aims to explore the EFL teachers’ perceptions of listening strategies and the application of listening strategies, and discover difficulties that they encounter in their instruction at a public university (henceforth called PU) in Ho Chi Minh City-Vietnam. Thirty six EFL teachers who were teaching English at PU were invited to participate in the study. Quantitative and qualitative data were obtained through two instruments, namely questionnaire and interview. The results revealed that not all the strategies were frequently employed for listening instruction. Several strategies were more frequently employed than the others; for example, cognitive, metacognitive and affective strategies were frequently integrated into instruction by the EFL teachers. Regarding the potential problems relating to listening lessons, the results showed that most of the EFL teachers had difficulties relating to professional development, students and teaching resources. This study is expected to shed light to the implementation of teaching listening strategies in PU context and in other similar contexts.

3. Background Of The Study
What hinders or stops students from succeeding in
speaking this language in class and or after completing
grade 12?
4. Statement Of The Problem
We live in an educational world where orality is seen as a
‘necessary, positive, personal characteristic’ (Harmer 1991:7)
Worldwide expansion of English has increased this demand
to acquire good communication skills in English.
5. These students tend to wonder why they cannot speak
English well, because their compulsive efforts do not lead to
their intended performance.
6. Objectives Of The Inquiry

after finishing grade 12 and ways of overcoming them;
To increase understanding of current trends for learning and
teaching English in Mozambique;
To analyse the teachers appropriateness in their use of English
teaching methods and materials;
To pinpoint several factors and obstacles related to why these
students fail dismally to interact proficiently in English after grade 12
7. Literature Review
Speaking skills (producing speech)
Irene (2009:244) states that, speaking is a specific competence
applied in activities which are processed orally in an organised
environment
Harmer (2007:345) points out that the main problem which is
faced in speaking skills is the natural reluctance of some students
to speak and take part.
Irene (2009:25) criticises that speaking can be seen in different
ways but commonly it can be considered as communication
practice or the most natural and effective way of learners to
practise.
8. Communicative Activities
According to Scrivener (2005:146), there are some activities in
which the teacher and the learner mainly talk together.
Communicative Competence
Is the ability to use the language correctly and
appropriately to accomplish communication goals.
