Approaches to language teaching
PPP: Presentation, Practice, Production
Classroom practices:
the syllabus focuses on grammatical structures or functions
Lessons move from the
presentation stage
to the practicestage to the production stage
Learners should not be allowed to make mistakes during the practice stage
The teacher
inputs
language (provides expamples and gives information about it), and guides students
The learners are guided by the teacher and do not make decisions about what or how to learn
Typical activities are
situational presentetations
and
miming
at the presentation stage,
drills
at the controlled practice stage, role-plays and
information-gap activities
at the production stage
View of language learning:
language is learnt by first seeing new language in a
context
which shows its meaning, practising it in controlled and
guided
conditions, then using it in freer conditions which give the learner less language support
View of language:
grammatical structures and functions are the most important aspect of language
Grammar-Translation
View of language:
language is made up of grammatical rules
View of language learning:
language is learnt by analysing and applying grammatical rules
Classroom practices:
studying grammatical rules presented through grammatical terms, then applying them in exercises
Working out
what language means by applying rules
Learning
lists of words
by heart
Translating texts and/or isolated sentences from
L1
to
L2
or vice versa
Emphasis
on grammatical accuracy
CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning
Classroom practices:
the syllabus is based around learning about the subject matter and
cognitive
(thinking and learning) skills related to a school subject, e.g. maths, history, art
The school subject is taught in the L2 (L3/L4)
The specific kinds of language learnt are the language needed for learning about the subject
Lessons focus on the subject rather than on language
View of language:
language serves to communicate meaning
All aspects of language help communicate meaning (e.g. skills, discourse, lexis, grammar, function)
View of language learning:
langugae is learnt mainly acquisition and through using it. Language does not need to be obviously focused on
Language is learnt best when you use language to learn something else
