This document discusses various methods of teaching English, including the grammar-translation method, direct method, Dr. West's New Method, structural approach, and communicative approach. The grammar-translation method focuses on vocabulary and grammar rules, but does not develop speaking skills. The direct method teaches English directly without using the native language, but requires creative teachers. Dr. West's New Method emphasizes reading to develop other skills but can become dull. The structural approach and communicative approach develop language skills through a focus on structures and real-world communication.
