each consisted of a collection of ancient documents to
be deciphered and analyzed.
• It ignores all consideration of phonetics, pronunciation
and acoustics image

attained mainly through the memorizing of the so
called rules of grammar

outlined a proposal for a new philosophy of language
teaching which is called “natural approach
• Natural approach is identified with traditional
approaches to language teaching.
