Importance
An approach to Language Teaching is our view of the language and how it takes place in the learning process.
Approaches
Presentation, practice, Production: Teacher presents the topic, makes students practice and then makes them produce it.
Lexical Approach: Vocabulary is the main focus, so language is learnt with chunks as a complete unit. Writing and speaking are focused too.
Functional Approach: Based on functions, communicative activities and also PPP phases.
Communicative Approach: Communication is the main focus, the lesson focuses on tasks based on functions, grammar and vocabulary. Fluency is more important than accuracy.
Grammar translation: Main focus are grammaical rules and memorization. So grammar and vocabulary are analyzed.
Total physical response: Grammar and vocabulary are the main focus. Learners are exposed to the language items and then perform them physically.
Guided discovery: Based on grammatical rules. Students analyze patterns and work them out.
Content based learning: Grammar, vocabulary and skills are important.
Content and language integrated learning: Main focus are skills, discourse, lexis, grammar and fucntions.
How to teach
PPP: It can be taught through role-plays, miming, drills, information gap activities.
Lexical Approach: By presenting students written or spoken texts in the classroom, also using chunks.
Functional Approach: Communicative activities such as role-plays, discussions, debates.
Communicative Approach: Teacher can use realia and authentic materials to make students talk about it.
Grammar translation: translating texts or isolated words from L1 to L2.
Total Physical response: exercises to practice vocabulary. For example: "open the door" "Close your book" accompanied by the physical action.
Guided discovery: Teacher presents the grammar and then asks students to analyze and find out the rules.
Content based learning: Teacher presents topics related to school subjetcs or the world in general and students analyze grammar according to the topics.
Content and language integrated learning: as in the previous teacher introduces some topics and then the grammar.
