Foreign Language Teaching Methodologies

This method dates back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century

This methodology is based on Structuralism and Behaviourism

This method places emphasis on the social and situational contexts of communication

In this methodology, grammar is seen as a toll to facilitate effective communication

There is a heavy dependence on imitating language models and memorization of dialogues

There is heavy emphasis on written work to the virtual exclusion of oral productions

The teacher is a facilitator, who creates a classroom climate conducive to language learning and provides opportunities for students to use and practice the language

The main activities are memorization of dialogues, question and answer practice, substitution drills and various forms of guided speaking and writing practice

Learners are given opportunities to use the target language within a real-life communicative context and the language used is not totally predictable

The emphasis on structural detail makes language learning strenuous and boring

This methodology maintains a balance between activities that work on communication skills and those that focus on the development of accuracy.

Language learning is meaningful, multisensory and appeals to a range of learning styles

This method was used to teach Latin and Greek

Learning support consists of printed material which provide the texts of dialogues and the cues needed for drills and practice exercises. A teachers' edition is also available.

Understanding of grammar should be promoted through the use of contextualized practice

Learners are engaged in meaningful and authentic language use

This approach supports the development of skills necessary for the production of 'unrehearsed performances'

This methodology makes use of language labs, taped material and visual cues

Learning support material reflects real-life use of the target language - newspapers, brochures, clippings, songs, labels, packaging and realia

This method places emphasis on the social nature of learning. Learning is not an individual private activity but a social one that depends upon interaction with others.

Little or no attention is given to pronunciation

Grammatical structures and vocabulary are taught in isolation

Language mastery is assessed in terms of the learner's knowledge of structures and vocabulary

Opportunities are provided for the development of critical thinking skills, creativity and use of initiative

Learners are given greater responsibility for constructing their own knowledge
