This document discusses various techniques and materials used for teaching languages. It describes sound-color charts that associate colors with sounds, rods that can teach grammar, numbers, and other structures, and word charts that contain functional vocabulary. It also mentions Fidel charts that use color-coded columns to represent spellings, peer correction, self correction gestures, and structured feedback. The advantages listed are that these techniques enable interaction, cooperation, self-awareness and discovery-based learning. Disadvantages are that students may not be used to these methods and it can be difficult for large classes.

2. TECNIQUES AND
MATERIALS:

3. Sound-color chart:

prepositions, conditionals, comparati
ves can be taught.


contains functional vocabulary of
English
consists of
pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepo
sitions etc.
coloured letters help the students’
pronunciation.

12. Fidel chart:


color-coded columns, one color for
each sound
present possible spellings of every
single sound of the target language

14. Structured feedback:

Students’ observations about lesson

17. Advantages and
