This document discusses the post-methods era in language teaching. It summarizes that methods were widely used until the late 1980s but gradually fell out of favor due to dissatisfaction with their rigid prescriptions. The post-methods paradigm emerged as an alternative that emphasizes teacher autonomy over prescribed methods. It focuses on three pedagogical parameters: particularity, considering local teaching contexts; practicality, enabling teachers to theorize from practice; and possibility, accounting for social factors that shape learning. The post-methods era aims to facilitate the development of each teacher's own teaching theory based on their unique situation and experiences.
The document provides an overview of content-based instruction (CBI). It defines CBI as teaching academic subjects and language skills simultaneously. It discusses the types of CBI, including the sheltered model, adjunct model, and theme-based model. The principles of CBI focus on using content over language criteria and actively involving students. Techniques include cooperative learning, task-based learning, and whole language approaches. Teachers' roles include preparing materials and helping students, while students are expected to be autonomous, active learners. Advantages include increased motivation, while disadvantages can include difficulty finding appropriate texts and separating language from content learning.
1. The history of language teaching has been characterized by different teaching methods and approaches.
2. By the late 1980s, the dominance of methods began to decline and the "post-methods era" emerged, allowing more flexibility.
3. In the post-methods era, teachers select principles from various approaches depending on the learning context rather than being confined to a single method.
1. The document discusses the differences between approaches and methods in language teaching. Approaches provide general principles for teaching a language, while methods provide specific prescriptions for content, roles, and activities.
2. It notes that while methods provide structure for novice teachers, they risk marginalizing the teacher's role and making students passive learners. Approaches allow more flexibility but lack clear application.
3. The document advocates considering context, evaluating objectives, developing and testing materials, and providing feedback in language program design rather than rigidly following a single method.
This document summarizes the grammar translation method, a traditional approach to teaching foreign languages. It discusses the principles and characteristics of the grammar translation method, how it is used in teaching, its advantages and criticisms. The document also summarizes several studies that have compared the grammar translation method to other approaches or investigated its effectiveness. Overall, the document provides an overview of the grammar translation method through defining it, outlining its key aspects, and reviewing recent research on its use and efficacy in language teaching.
1) Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. It examines how social factors such as context, status, and function influence language variation and use.
2) People code switch and use different linguistic varieties depending on social context, including the participants, setting, topic, and function of the interaction. Formal contexts like religion or education use high varieties while informal settings use low varieties.
3) Languages shift when their speakers abandon them for a dominant language due to economic, social, or demographic factors. This can lead to language loss or even death when no one speaks it anymore.
The Grammar Translation Method is a method for teaching foreign languages that uses students' native language as a basis for understanding the target language. Students learn grammar rules deductively and translate between the native and target languages. Vocabulary and grammar are emphasized, as well as reading and writing skills. While it can help explain words and phrases and teach correct grammar, it is criticized for being unnatural and neglecting communication skills. The method was developed for teaching dead languages but is still sometimes used for its ease of conducting grammar exercises and tests.
Here are the answers to the evaluation questions:
1. CBLT is an application of the principles of Competency-Based Education (CBE) movement.
2. CBLT emerged from the work of Schenck (1978) and Auerbach (1986).
3. Schenck (1978)
4. Auerbach (1986)
5. One learning activity for CBLT is job application.
6-10. CBLT is important for language students as it prepares them for real world tasks through a focus on life skills and successful functioning in society. By developing specific, measurable competencies, CBLT allows students to master practical language abilities incrementally for tasks like job applications and
This document summarizes the suggestopedia language teaching method. Suggestopedia uses suggestive factors like music, relaxation, and positive reinforcement to stimulate learning. It aims to remove psychological barriers and allow students to reach communicative competence more quickly. The method involves choosing identities, indirect positive suggestion, and activities integrated with music, drama, and art. The roles of the teacher in leading confidently and the materials in creating a bright environment are described. Stages of listening, speaking, writing and reading are outlined, along with advantages like quicker learning and disadvantages like potential boredom.
This document discusses task-based language teaching (TBLT). It provides 3 key points:
1) TBLT involves communicative tasks that emphasize using language for real-world meaning and have a sense of completeness. Tasks can resemble real-life language use.
2) During tasks, students' attention is primarily on meaning rather than form. Tasks provide opportunities for input, output, and negotiation of meaning which aids acquisition.
3) The teacher guides students through pre-task, during task, and post-task stages but does not correct errors, instead focusing on communication. Students work in groups and report back, with the goal of developing fluency over accuracy.
Un resumen de los métodos y filosofías que han influido en la práctica de la enseñanza de la lengua inglesa. Una visión crítica sobre la pedagogía del lenguaje y su valor histórico
Content based syllabus combines language and content learning by focusing on teaching subject matter in the target language rather than separately teaching the language itself. It exposes students to the target language environment through subjects like in language immersion programs. While research shows this helps students learn faster, teachers must ensure student comprehension and account for differences in student age. Content based syllabus is applicable for both children and adults but does not guarantee communication skills without extensive interactive activities.
The document discusses various approaches to teaching grammar, including deductive and inductive methods. It defines descriptive and prescriptive grammar, and explains that the most effective way to teach grammar is through an inductive approach that focuses on meaning and uses reading and writing activities. The PPP (presentation, practice, production) model is presented as a widely used framework for teaching grammar lessons, with the goal of students producing the target grammar through contextual examples and exercises.
A functional syllabus organizes language teaching content around communicative functions like inviting, requesting, agreeing, and apologizing. It focuses on the communicative purposes of language rather than just grammar. Functions are sequenced based on ideas like chronology, frequency, or usefulness. While a functional syllabus can increase language usefulness, its isolation of functions may limit interactional ability if not synthesized into discourse. It also lacks clear criteria for selecting functions and risks an atomistic or phrase-book approach.
Developments in English for Specific Purposes - Chapter 1 & 2Mar Iam
This document discusses the history and development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Some key points:
- ESP emerged in the 1960s due to growth in science/technology and use of English as a lingua franca.
- Early ESP focused on English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Science and Technology (EST).
- ESP is defined by the learner's purpose for learning English rather than the type of language. A needs analysis is important.
- ESP teaching involves roles beyond instruction like materials development, collaboration with subject experts, and evaluation.
- Recent trends include mixing approaches and drawing from developments in English language teaching and applied linguistics.
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) focuses classroom activities around tasks that require students to use language for a specific purpose. It emphasizes using language communicatively to complete tasks that simulate real-world activities. There are two types of tasks: target tasks that simulate language use outside the classroom, and pedagogical tasks used in classroom activities and exercises to prepare students for target tasks. TBLT aims to move students beyond abstract language learning to applying language in authentic contexts. While it can make classes more engaging, some argue it may lack guidance on language forms and not promote accuracy.
Notional functional syllabus aims to teach language based on conceptual and communicative purposes rather than grammatical structures. It focuses on developing learners' communicative competence through selecting linguistic content based on notions like time, direction, size and functions like requesting, suggesting, agreeing. While it has advantages like developing real-world language skills, critics argue that dividing language into discrete notions and functions misinterprets its nature as dynamic communication.
This document discusses approaches to language testing and types of language tests. It describes six main approaches: traditional, discrete, integrative, pragmatic, and communicative. It also outlines five main types of language tests based on their objective: selection tests, placement tests, achievement tests, diagnostic tests, and try-out tests. Achievement tests measure learning from a course, while proficiency tests measure skills for a future task. Diagnostic tests identify areas of difficulty.
The Direct Method summarized in 3 sentences:
The Direct Method teaches language through demonstration and action without translation, using the target language exclusively in the classroom. It focuses on oral communication skills and inductive grammar learning, emphasizing correct pronunciation and spontaneous use of the language. While motivating for oral skills, it may lack development of reading and writing abilities.
The Silent Way is a language teaching method where the teacher is mostly silent during lessons. It uses colored rods and charts to teach pronunciation and vocabulary without translation. Learners discover the language through problem-solving activities while the teacher facilitates and ensures learners produce the target language. The goal is near-native fluency through inductive learning that starts from what students already know.
This document summarizes the key aspects of the Natural Approach developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell. The Natural Approach focuses on meaningful communication through comprehensible input in the target language. It emphasizes acquiring language through exposure rather than conscious learning of grammar rules. The teacher acts as a facilitator who creates a low-anxiety environment rich with activities to promote comprehension and communication.
The document compares three language teaching methods: the grammar translation method (GTM), the direct method (DM), and the audio-lingual method (ALM). GTM focuses on grammar rules and translation, DM emphasizes spoken communication, and ALM uses repetition of dialogues to teach grammar and vocabulary. The teacher's role and student interaction differ between the methods. GTM has the teacher as the authority while DM encourages student-teacher and student-student interaction. ALM has the teacher controlling student language behavior through drills.
Larry Selinker introduced the concept of interlanguage in 1972, building on Corder's earlier work on language learners' errors. Interlanguage refers to the transitional rule-based linguistic system that language learners develop between their native language and the target language they are learning. It is accepted as a basic principle in the field of second language acquisition. A learner's interlanguage preserves features of their first language and can overgeneralize rules of the target language as they progress toward proficiency but have not yet mastered it.
The document provides a history of language teaching methods from the 1500s to present day. It begins with Latin being the dominant language of education in the 1500s, though French, Italian, and English gained prominence in the 1600s. The 1700s-1900s saw the promotion of Latin in schools through grammar-focused instruction. In the 1800s, modern languages began to be taught using the same grammar-translation approach. Reform movements in the late 1800s advocated for a more natural approach focused on speaking, resulting in the Direct Method in the early 1900s emphasizing communication over translation. However, these natural methods proved difficult to implement in schools. Throughout the 20th century, debates occurred over the best language teaching methods to use
The document discusses different approaches, methods, and techniques for teaching English. It defines approach, method, and technique, giving the example of how the communicative approach is implemented through the interactive method using various classroom techniques. It then describes the structural approach, its objectives and limitations. Several examples are provided to illustrate grammatical structures. The document also discusses the functional approach and natural approach, providing their key principles and implications for teachers and students. It gives examples of how a natural approach lesson would be implemented.
Lambert's socio-psychological model from 1972 focuses on the social and psychological aspects of second language acquisition. The model identifies key factors that influence learning a second language: attitudes and orientations towards the language, aptitude for language learning, motivation to learn, level of proficiency gained, and impact on self-identity. Outcomes can be additive bilingualism, which enriches experience without harming the native language, or subtractive bilingualism, which can weaken development of the second language.
The communicative approach focuses on developing students' communicative competence through meaningful use of language. It views language as a social tool for communication. The approach emphasizes using language functions to perform tasks and develop the four skills. Teachers adopt facilitator roles to organize communicative activities like information sharing, problem solving and role plays that engage students in real-life language use. Materials support this approach through authentic texts, tasks and real-world objects. The goal is to equip students to successfully communicate in the target language.
ESP is an approach to language teaching where all content and methodology are based on the learner's reason for learning. There are three main reasons for ESP: 1) English is key to technology and commerce globally, 2) linguistics revolutionized by showing language varies by situation so courses can focus on specific situations, and 3) focus shifted to developing courses highly relevant to individual learners' needs and interests.
This document discusses the key differences between approaches, methods, techniques, and procedures in language teaching. An approach refers to broad theories about language and learning, while a method is the practical implementation of an approach through a system of teaching. Techniques are specific classroom strategies, and procedures are ordered sequences of techniques. Some techniques can be used across methods, but they should align with the overall approach. Categorizing language teaching approaches can sometimes be challenging when elements are borrowed from multiple sources.
This document discusses different aspects of language teaching approaches, methods, and techniques. It provides reasons for studying teaching methods, such as gaining perspective on how the field has evolved, accessing established practices, and expanding one's teaching skills. Studying methods allows teachers to reflect on their assumptions and make informed choices in their teaching. The roles of the teacher, students, and instructional materials may vary depending on the approach and objectives. Techniques implement methods, which are informed by approaches. Approaches define underlying theories but not specific classroom practices.

Approaches define underlying theories but not specific classroom practices.
This document discusses key concepts in language teaching approaches, methods, and techniques:
- Approaches are theories about language and language teaching that inform practices and principles. They describe the nature of the subject matter but cannot be directly implemented.
- Methods are plans for how to present language material based on a chosen approach. They are procedural and include objectives, activities, and roles. There can be multiple methods within one approach.
- Techniques are the specific classroom activities and tools used to achieve objectives. They must be consistent with the chosen method and approach.
- Approaches inform methods, which then determine techniques for practical classroom implementation. The concepts are hierarchical but interconnected in language teaching.
The document discusses different levels of language teaching approaches, from broad approaches down to specific techniques. It states that an approach refers to assumptions about language and learning, a method is a practical implementation of an approach, and a technique is a specific classroom strategy. It provides examples showing that approaches inform methods, which comprise procedures that utilize techniques to achieve objectives. The discussion emphasizes that no single approach or method can address every teaching context, and advocates an eclectic, informed approach tailored to individual situations.
This document discusses the conceptual levels in language teaching - approach, method, and technique. An approach refers to theories of language and language learning. A method is a plan for presenting language based on an approach. Techniques are classroom activities and strategies used to achieve objectives. It provides examples of how theories of language (structural, functional, interactional) inform approaches. Learning theories also influence methods. A method's design specifies learner/teacher roles, content, and materials. Techniques are lesson tasks and feedback consistent with the method's approach and design.
Approaches and methods in language teachingOderayQuijada

contextually through dialogs.
Aspects of Language the Approach Emphasizes
Oral skills emphasized through imitation and repetition drills; grammar is induced from examples; reading and writing
based on oral work.
Role of Students' Native Language
Not used in class.
Means for Evaluation
Oral question-answer drills, dialog repetition, written exercises based on oral patterns.
Response to Students' Errors
This document discusses various approaches and methods in language teaching that have been developed over time. It begins by describing traditional methods like the Grammar Translation Method. It then covers the Reform Movement in the late 19th century that advocated a more scientific, spoken language-focused approach. Major 20th century methods discussed include the Direct Method, Audiolingual Method, and Communicative Language Teaching. For each approach/method, the document outlines the underlying linguistic theories, principles of language learning, design considerations, procedures, and roles of teachers and materials.
This document discusses various approaches and methods in language teaching, including:
- The traditional Grammar Translation Method and its key characteristics such as focusing on reading/writing and deductive grammar teaching.
- The Reform Movement in the late 19th century which advocated a more scientific approach based on applied linguistics, including the study of spoken language and inductive grammar teaching.
- The Direct Method and Berlitz Method which used the target language exclusively in classroom instruction with a focus on oral communication, vocabulary, and grammar taught inductively through demonstration and questions.
It then covers major 20th century trends like the Oral Approach/Situational Language Teaching and the Audio-Lingual Method, outlining
The document discusses different aspects of language teaching methods, including approach, design, and procedure. It summarizes Edward Antony's original model from 1963 that distinguished among these three levels of abstraction and specificity. However, it notes that Antony failed to sufficiently address how an approach becomes a method or how method and technique are related. The document then presents Jack C. Richards and Ted Rodgers' model from 1986 that defines the relationships between approach, design, and procedure in developing a language teaching method.
The document discusses language teaching methodology. It explains that a method has three levels: the approach, which are theories of language learning; the design, which specifies how theories relate to instructional materials and activities; and the procedure, which are classroom techniques and practices. It then lists several approaches such as grammar-translation, oral, structural, audio-lingual, cognitive, and communicative. Finally, it provides examples of specific methods, including traditional, direct, audio-lingual, communicative, total physical response, and suggestopedia.
This document provides an overview of the history of language teaching methodology. It describes how in the Classical Period from the 17th to 19th centuries, the purpose of education was religious orthodoxy and morality. Foreign language learning focused on Greek and Latin and promoting intellect. The Grammar Translation Method dominated from the 1850s to 1950s with a focus on grammar rules, translation, and memorization. Reformers in the early 20th century emphasized meaning and concepts like Gouin's Series Method. The Direct Method by Berlitz focused on oral interaction and spontaneous language use with little translation.

New methods like the Direct Method used the target language exclusively with little grammar explanation. The document also discusses theories of language and learning that influence methodology.
The document discusses key concepts in language teaching:
1. An approach reflects theories of language and language learning, such as structural, functional, and interactional theories.
2. A method is a set of teaching procedures that spells out how to teach a language based on an approach. It includes objectives, content, activities, roles, and materials.
3. A technique refers to specific classroom activities used to practice language, such as drills, dialogues, and information gap activities. Anthony distinguishes among approaches, methods, and techniques.

Intro Reflections
Thank you for attending our workshops. If you are new, do welcome. We have been building a base for advanced topics. Also, this info can be fused with any Japanese (JP) Healing, Wellness Plans / Other Reiki /and Yoga practices.
Power Awareness,
Our Defense.
Situations like Destiny Swapping even Evil Eyes are “stealing realities”. It’s causing your hard earned luck to switch out. Either way, it’s cancelling your reality all together. This maybe common recently over the last decade? I noticed it’s a sly easy move to make. Then, we are left wounded, suffering, accepting endless bad luck. It’s time to Power Up. This can be (very) private and quiet. However; building resources/EDU/self care for empowering is your business/your right. It’s a new found power we all can use for healing.

“Baby, Calm down, Calm Down.” - Song by Rema, Selena Gomez (Video Premiered Sep 7, 2022)
Within Virtual Work and VR Sims (Secondlife Metaverse) I love catching “Calm Down” On the radio streams. I love Selena first. Second, It’s such a catchy song with an island feel. This blends with both VR and working remotely.
Its also, a good affirmation or mantra to *Calm down* lol.
Something we reviewed in earlier Workshops.
I rarely mention love and relations but theres one caution.
When we date, almost marry an energy drainer/vampire partner; We enter doorways of no return. That person can psychic drain U during/after the relationship. They can also unleash their demons. Their dark energies (chi) can attach itself to you. It’s SYFI but common. Also, involving again, energy awareness. We are suppose to keep our love life sacred. But, Trust accidents do happen. The Energies can linger on. Also, Reiki can heal any breakup damage...

3. Types of Relations:
Empty Relation: No element in R.
Universal Relation: R = A × A.
Identity Relation: R = {(a, a) | a ∈ A}
Reflexive: (a, a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ A

4. Function (Mapping):
A relation f: A → B is a function if every element of A has exactly one image in B.
Domain: A, Codomain: B, Range ⊆ B
5. Types of Functions:
One-one (Injective): Different inputs give different outputs.
Onto (Surjective): Every element of codomain is mapped.
One-one Onto (Bijective): Both injective and surjective.
Constant Function: f(x) = c ∀ x ∈ A
Identity Function: f(x) = x
Polynomial Function: e.g., f(x) = x² + 1
Modulus Function: f(x) = |x|
Greatest Integer Function: f(x) = [x]
Signum Function: f(x) =
-1 if x < 0,
0 if x = 0,
1 if x > 0

Coleoptera, commonly known as beetles, is the largest order of insects, comprising approximately 400,000 described species. Beetles can be found in almost every habitat on Earth, exhibiting a wide range of morphological, behavioral, and ecological diversity. They have a hardened exoskeleton, with the forewings modified into elytra that protect the hind wings. Beetles play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers, pollinators, and food sources for other animals, while some species are considered pests in agriculture and forestry.

Order: Odonata Isoptera and Thysanoptera.pptxArshad Shaikh
*Odonata*: Odonata is an order of insects that includes dragonflies and damselflies. Characterized by their large, compound eyes and agile flight, they are predators that feed on other insects, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.
*Isoptera*: Isoptera is an order of social insects commonly known as termites. These eusocial creatures live in colonies with complex social hierarchies and are known for their ability to decompose wood and other cellulose-based materials, playing a significant role in ecosystem nutrient cycling.
*Thysanoptera*: Thysanoptera, or thrips, are tiny insects with fringed wings. Many species are pests that feed on plant sap, transmitting plant viruses and causing damage to crops and ornamental plants. Despite their small size, they have significant impacts on agriculture and horticulture.

Hymenoptera is a diverse order of insects that includes bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies. Characterized by their narrow waists and often social behavior, Hymenoptera play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, predators, and decomposers, with many species exhibiting complex social structures and communication systems.
The PDF titled "Critical Thinking and Bias" by Jibi Moses aims to equip a diverse audience from South Sudan with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and challenge biases and stereotypes. It focuses on developing critical thinking abilities and promoting inclusive attitudes to foster a more cohesive and just society. It defines bias as a tendency or prejudice affecting perception and interactions, categorizing it into conscious and unconscious (implicit) biases. The content highlights the impact of societal and cultural conditioning on these biases, particularly within the South Sudanese context.
4. APPROACH
It is a conjunction of ideas related
to the nature and teaching of a
given language.
It refers to theories about the
nature of language and language
learning.
It describes how people acquire
their knowledge of the language
and makes statements about the
conditions which will promote
succesful language learning.
It offers a model of language
competence.
5. It is the level in which a whole
theory and its beliefs are
reflected regarding a language
and its learning. It is a much
wider concept than a method
and technique.
It is the source of the principles
and practices of language
teaching.
It describes how a language is
used and how its constituent
parts interlock.
APPROACH
6. METHOD
It is considered the practical
realization of an approach.
It is understood as a group of
procedures, a system that clearly
explains how to teach a language
(syllabus organization -contents &
skills to be taught-, roles of teachers
and learners, kinds of materials to
use).
It is understood as a group of
procedures, a system that clearly
explains how to teach a language
(contents and skills to be taught)
The method is based on a specific
approach. The approach is axiomatic
whereas the method is procedural.
7. When a method has fixed
procedures, informed by a
clearly articulated approach, it is
easy to describe. However, if a
method takes procedures and
techniques from a wide variety
of sources, that is that they are
used in other methods or are
mentioned by other beliefs, it
will be very hard to continue
describing it as a method. How
should it be categorized then?
METHOD
8. Procedure
It is an ordered sequence of
techniques.
A procedure can be
described in terms such as
First you do this, then you
do that… It’s a lot smaller
than a method, but it’s a
sequence of techniques.
9. Procedure
It can be understood as a
set of actions, operations
and strategies which have
to be executed accordingly
to a perception on how to
obtain a expected result, in
our case on how to
increase competition in a
foreign language.
10. TECHNIQUE
It’s each specific strategy
that we use in the
classroom.
It is a tool that is used to
obtain an immediate
result.
It’s what really happens in
the classroom, in the
actual teaching.
11. These techniques must be
coherent with the method,
and therefore, they must
be in harmony with the
approach.
Some techniques can be
found in different methods
whereas other ones are
specific to a given method.
