Learning Method (Teaching English As a Foreign Language)
The document discusses three language teaching methods:
1) The Audio-Lingual Method emphasizes listening and speaking before reading and writing through drills and imitation. It aims for communicative competence but lacks grammar explanation.
2) Total Physical Response uses actions and gestures to accompany language. Both teacher and students act out commands to learn vocabulary and structures.
3) The Silent Way teaches independently through visual clues instead of direct instruction. The teacher monitors students and encourages oral responses using Cuisenaire sticks to introduce new concepts.
Essay
A future teacher will face problems resolving different student learning styles in the classroom. They will need to present visual activities for visual learners and physical activities like games for kinesthetic learners. Speaking skills should be taught in the classroom to motivate students, as many see the ability to speak as knowing the language. If speaking activities are implemented correctly, it can make the classroom more fun and dynamic, raising student motivation to learn English. Overall, teachers must be prepared to address problems in the classroom, and gain experience through practice to acquire the necessary tools.

This document summarizes classroom observations of an English class at the elementary level. It describes the purpose of the visits which was to improve the author's English skills and provide a model for teaching. It then describes the school, students, and teacher. The visits are summarized, noting activities observed like discussing the Puerto Rican flag. Findings from the observations provide recommendations, such as continuing strategies that kept students engaged and motivated like constant participation and using music.
Silent way
The Silent Way is a language teaching method that involves students actively in the learning process through concentration, cooperation, and problem-solving. The teacher uses gestures, charts and the blackboard to explain material without speaking, while students remain silent. It is an active and productive method best suited for beginners and young learners, though not all students may pay full attention during the silent process.
The silent way language teaching method
The Silent Way language teaching method aims to have the teacher be silent as much as possible to encourage student production of the target language. Learning is facilitated through student discovery and problem-solving using physical objects like colored rods. The method focuses on pronunciation and introduces new sounds and structures gradually, using specialized materials to set up learning situations for students to practice the target language independently and in meaningful contexts.
the silent way by Meiry agresti part 1
The Silent Way is a language teaching method developed by Caleb Gattegno that hypothesizes learning is facilitated through discovery, physical objects, and problem solving. The teacher remains mostly silent while using gestures and materials like Cuisenaire rods to model language concepts for students to inductively derive on their own. The goals are for students to gain oral proficiency, near-native fluency, and practical grammar knowledge in the target language. Lessons focus on introducing grammatical items and vocabulary according to complexity. Students are expected to self-correct, work autonomously, and cooperatively to create their own utterances building on the minimal input from the silent teacher.
Better teaching methods, better speakers
The document discusses effective methods for teaching speaking skills in a foreign language. It explains that teaching speaking is a complex process that requires motivating students through interesting topics and communicative activities. Speaking skills are best developed through a three-level process starting with controlled imitation activities, then guided activities where students build longer responses, and finally free production where students can speak without guidance. The document provides tips teachers can use to improve student speaking, such as incorporating linguistic and non-linguistic props, allowing student autonomy, and providing feedback. It also discusses how to evaluate if a speaking activity was successful based on criteria like student participation and language use.
Teacher Talk Time
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emphasizes communication in the classroom through pair and group activities to increase student involvement. It is believed that reducing the teacher's talking time (TTT) and increasing student talking time (STT) leads to more effective lessons by limiting teacher-centered instruction and increasing student autonomy and speaking skills. Teachers should use elicitation through clear examples and guiding questions rather than just explanations to engage students and reduce TTT.

Universidad de panama
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.
The silent way
The silent way is a language teaching method developed by Caleb Cattegno that focuses on speaking, listening, reading and writing the target language. It is student-centered and uses physical objects to facilitate learning through student exploration of skills and knowledge, with errors seen as part of the learning process. The teacher remains silent and controls the lesson flow, while students stay independent and focused. Key techniques include the sound color chart, peer correction, Cuisenaire rods, words charts, self-correction gestures, and Fidel charts. Advantages include students feeling comfortable, actively participating, improving vocabulary and confidence, while disadvantages are not fully understanding materials due to lack of explanation and repetition from the silent teacher.
Second language teaching methods
This document describes several methods for teaching second or foreign languages:
1) The grammar-translation method focuses on grammar rules and translation exercises with little use of the target language.
2) The direct method immerses students in the target language without translation or use of the native language.
3) The reading method prioritizes reading skills and comprehension over speaking abilities.
4) The audio-lingual method uses repetition and mimicking dialogs to teach language structures inductively.
5) Community language learning uses counseling techniques to help students feel comfortable speaking the new language.
6) The silent way emphasizes student autonomy and uses teacher silence and visual aids to teach pronunciation and structures.
Desopedia[sxd1]
Desuggestopedia aims to accelerate foreign language learning for communication through reducing psychological barriers and activating the subconscious mind. The teacher creates a relaxed environment through confidence, security, and role-playing activities while students follow instruction easily. Characteristics include a decorated classroom, new student identities, handouts, conversations set to music, and games with minimal grammar instruction and emphasis on speaking. Student interactions are initiated by the teacher in groups or individually while using body language or target language. Feelings of relaxation, confidence and security are developed through assuming new roles. Language and culture are viewed as interconnected, and the native language is used initially and reduced over time, with evaluation based on performance instead of tests and gentle error correction.
TEFL (Direct Method, PPP, CLL)
The document discusses three popular teaching methodologies: direct method, presentation-practice-production (PPP), and community language learning (CLL).
The direct method focuses on using the target language without translation and emphasizing speaking skills. PPP follows a three step structure of presenting new language, practicing it, and then having students produce and use it. CLL builds a supportive learning community where the teacher acts as a counselor and students determine their own learning needs.
The silent way
The Silent Way is a language teaching method created by Caleb Gattegno that relies extensively on silence. It encourages student responses orally without direct instruction from the teacher. Teachers point to charts containing sounds and students are expected to pronounce them correctly. Students develop autonomy through self and peer correction. Rods, pictures, and word charts are used as teaching materials. While it promotes student interaction and independent learning, the method can confuse students and make progress evaluation difficult for teachers.
Desuggestopedia
Desuggestopedia is a language teaching method created by Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian psychiatrist. The goal is to eliminate psychological barriers to learning and increase communicative ability. Teachers aim to create a relaxed environment using music, colors, student roles and indirect positive suggestions. Lessons include rhythmic reading, translation and question/answer sessions. Student evaluation is based on classroom performance rather than tests.
Applying the Acquired Knowledge and Skills from the MTCP Course, 21st Century...
The Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP) was officially launched on 7th September 1980 in New Delhi. The main objectives of MTCP are; to share development experience with other countries; to strengthen bilateral relations between Malaysia and other developing countries; to promote South-South Cooperation; and to promote technical cooperation among developing countries. The Institute of Teacher Education International Languages Campus (IPGKBA), Kuala Lumpur has been conducting MTCP programmes since 2001. Being the centre of Teacher Education for international training, IPGKBA has conducted numerous courses for more 1000 participants from nearly 100 countries. The participants include teachers, lecturers, education officers and administrators. Through the 4-week course, the course participants are exposed to 21st Century Best Practices Pedagogical Skills in ELT. Course participants are also required to adapt and adopt the best acquired knowledge and skills during the implementation stage in their respective countries. This paper aims to share the acquired knowledge and skills from MTCP course in IPGKBA in improving listening and speaking skills among the undergraduates in Adi Buana University, Surabaya, Indonesia. The data was collated from interviews, questionnaires, classroom observations, field notes, voice recording and pictures taking. Issues, challenges and conclusive results would also be shared in this presentation. Some recommendations and suggestions will form the conclusion of the presentation for a contextualized implementation of the acquired knowledge and skills.

Some approaches in teaching english
The document discusses several approaches that have been used to teach English as a foreign language. It describes the Direct Method, Grammar Translation Method, Audio Lingual Method, Structural Approach, Suggestopedia, Total Physical Response, Communicative Language Teaching, The Silent Way, Community Language Learning, Task Based Language Learning, and The Lexical Approach. Each approach has a different focus, methodology, and principles for teaching English. The document serves as an overview of the various methods that have been developed and used throughout history to instruct students in learning English.
Silent Way method PPT
The Silent Way is a language teaching method devised by Caleb Gattegno based on the teacher being as silent as possible. It uses physical objects like Cuisenaire rods to facilitate problem-solving in the target language. The objectives are near-native fluency and learner autonomy. The theory views language as arbitrarily associated sounds and meanings organized by grammar rules, separated from social context and taught through artificial situations represented by rods. Learners work independently and correct themselves while the teacher silently monitors and uses gestures to elicit responses without direct correction or modeling.
The arc of a lesson
The document discusses the structure of an effective English language lesson, known as the "ARC":
1) Lessons should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, similar to a story. The beginning activates prior knowledge and sets the scene, the middle is the main body of the lesson where new content is presented, and the end wraps things up and reflects on learning.
2) Effective beginnings include warm-up activities to switch to English and set the context. The middle, or "body" of the lesson, takes the most time and includes presenting new content, modeling activities, and using transitions between parts.
3) The end is important for assigning homework, reviewing key points, and having students reflect
Teacher talking time
1) The document discusses teacher talking time (TTT) in communicative language teaching classrooms. While early CLT methods aimed to reduce TTT, the document notes TTT can be used effectively if done strategically.
2) It provides strategies for reducing TTT, such as using pair/group work, elicitation, and tolerating silence. However, it also outlines positive uses of TTT, like personalized presentations, questioning, and storytelling.
3) In conclusion, the document states teachers should be aware of the quality and purpose of their talking, rather than trying to reduce TTT to a minimum, in order to balance communication and learning in the classroom.
How to teach vocabulary using the direct method
1) The direct method for teaching vocabulary emphasizes speaking the target language exclusively in class. New words are introduced orally using real-world objects, pictures, and body movements.
2) Grammar is taught inductively and concretely. Students practice self-correction to improve pronunciation and comprehension.
3) The teacher introduces words by saying them clearly for students to repeat. Visual aids help explain meanings when students don't understand through questioning.
Direct method class presentation/by Nazik
The Direct Method focuses on communicating in the target language through demonstration and visual aids without translation. Teachers introduce new vocabulary through realia or pictures and have students practice speaking in real-world situations. Grammar is taught inductively and vocabulary is emphasized over translation. The goal is for students to think and communicate directly in the target language.
Silent way method
The silent way is a language teaching methodology created by Caleb Gattegno that aims to help beginning students gain basic fluency. It has three main principles: 1) Learners discover or create through problem solving using the target language 2) Physical objects like rods help learning 3) Translation and repetition are avoided. The teacher monitors students and encourages independent learning through trial and error while students form their own rules and conclusions with a focus on pronunciation.
the Silent way
The Silent Way is a language teaching method developed in the 1970s by Caleb Gattegno that emphasizes students taking an active role in their own learning. It is based on the idea that students should discover the rules of the new language through their own cognition rather than habit formation. The teacher remains mostly silent, using gestures and materials like Cuisenaire rods to guide students, who are encouraged to self-correct and help their peers. The goal is for students to develop near-native fluency through an inductive process focused on pronunciation and grammar.
Methodology[1]
The document outlines six methodological points behind the Touchstone language learning methodology:
1. It emphasizes interaction and conversation through activities that encourage students to talk to each other.
2. It personalizes learning by having students discuss topics relevant to their own lives and interests.
3. It promotes active and inductive learning through tasks that require students to figure things out and solve problems themselves.
4. It encourages students to become independent learners by including different course components for students to work on their own.
The Silent Way - TEFL
This document presents an overview of the Silent Way language teaching method. It was developed in the 1970s by Caleb Gattegno as a constructivist approach focused on problem solving. Key features include engaging students actively in the learning process, using physical objects to facilitate vocabulary and grammar acquisition, and giving students space to struggle with and solve problems with minimal teacher intervention. Advantages include increased creativity, discovery, and long-term memory, while disadvantages include separating language from its social context and the time required for repetition.
Teaching as a foreign language besok
The document discusses several methods for teaching English as a foreign language:
Community Language Learning allows students to determine what aspects of language they want to learn based on their interests. Whole Language uses reading, writing, and discussion to immerse students in the language. Suggestopedia emphasizes relaxation, memorization, and group work to accelerate learning. Each method aims to make students comfortable while actively engaging them in using the target language.
