Second Language Methodology
and Approaches
Total physical response
Learner respond to simple commands such as 'stands up' , 'close your books'
The student is not forced to speak, but is allowed an individual readiness period and allowed to spontaneously begin to speak when the student feels comfortable and confident in understanding and producing the utterances.
Understanding the spoken language before developing the skills of speaking.
Direct Method
The direct method concerns itself with employing the target language as a means of instruction with no translation and an emphasis on linking meaning to the language being learned.
This method insists on accuracy, while errors are corrected in class.
Communicative approach
Learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning.
When learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.
The instructor does not correct speech errors directly. Students are allowed to respond in the target language, their native language, or a mixture of the two.
Audio-lingual Method
• Audio-lingual methods had their shortcoming, which is, the inability to promote communicative ability as it paid undue attention to memorization and drilling and less attention to the role of context and world knowledge in language learning.
• The Audio-lingual method draws its practices from the linguistic and psychological theory that investigates different languages using a scientific descriptive-analytic approach.
This method also known as the fundamental skill method, the aural-oral method or Army method came as a result of the need for American soldiers who were to travel overseas to communicate in foreign languages during the Second World War.
Electric approach
A method of language education that combines various approaches and methodologies
More flexible and adaptable
Allows the language teacher to use the technique and activities drawn from a range of language teaching approaches
The practice of selecting and compiling doctrines from different systems of thought
Oral practice techniques can be followed where a translation can be made use of where it is needed.
Grammar Translation Method
Students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by translating sentences between the target language and the native language.
Classes are taught in the mother tongue. Much vocabulary is taught in the form of lists of isolated words.
The grammar translation method is a method of teaching foreign languages derived from the classical method of teaching Greek and Latin.
Task-based approach
Aims to provide learners with a natural context for language use.
Learners have abundant opportunity to interact.
In a task-based lesson the teacher doesn't pre-determine what language will be studied, the lesson is based around the completion of a central task and the language studied is determined by what happens as the students complete it
It focuses on meaningful interaction while still drawing student's attention to language.
Task -based learning offers an alternative for language teachers.
Lexical approach
Students are expected to learn the grammar of languages based on recognizing patterns in words.
First and second language comparisons and translation--carried out chunk-for-chunk,
rather than word-for-word--aimed at raising language awareness.
Intensive and extensive listening and reading in the target language.
Guessing the meaning of vocabulary items from context.
Working with dictionaries and other reference tools.
