The deductive approach represents a more traditional style of teaching in that the grammatical structures or rules are dictated to the students first, a more effective and time saving way under certain circumstances, namely monolingual classes- (Rivers and Temperley 110). The inductive approach represents a different style of teaching where the new grammatical structures or rules are presented to the students in a real language context (Goner, Phillips, and Walters 135).

How to Detect Lies - body language, reactions, speech patterns Interesting Info -> Lying Index -> How to Detect Lies Become a Human Lie Detector (Part 1) Warning: sometimes ignorance is bliss. After gaining this knowledge, you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you. Introduction to Detecting Lies: This knowledge is also useful for managers, employers, and for anyone to use in everyday situations where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a victim of fraud/scams and other deceptions. This is just a basic run down of physical (body language) gestures and verbal cues that may indicate someone is being untruthful. If you got here from somewhere else, be sure to check out our Lie Detection index page for more info including new research in the field of forensic psychology. Signs of Deception: Body Language of Lies: • Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. • A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact. • Hands touching their face, throat & mouth.

Recitation oral questions by teacher answered orally by students (then what!) Attachment: 150 Teaching Methods [PDF, 33 KB] The Key Foreign Language Teaching Methodologies and How to Choose the Best for You | General Educator Blog Why do you teach? How do you teach? Why do you teach the way you teach? The last question is probably the hardest to explain, maybe even to yourself. Is it because that’s how you were taught? Have you ever sat down and seriously thought about why you teach reading, writing, speaking, listening and culture the way you do? If not, now is the time! It’ll also give you the flexibility to change approaches when any one method fails to address your students’ needs at any time—even in the middle of a lesson! So let’s get started with the main foreign language methodologies, and then consider how to choose the best for your particular classroom. The Foreign Language Teaching Methodologies That You Should Know Grammar-translation Have you ever studied Latin? For the longest time, this was also the approach used for teaching modern foreign languages. How might a grammar-translation classroom be set up? Direct What might a direct method or natural approach activity be? Audio-lingual Immersion Communicative
Noonan - Teaching ESL Students to "Notice" Grammar The Internet TESL Journal Francis J. Noonan IIIchipperchina [at] hotmail.comEaston Area School District (Easton, PA, USA) This article explains how to teach ESL/EFL students to notice grammar. Introduction Many teachers are confused on how to teach grammar. Why Noticing? The theoretical basis for noticing centers around the relationship between explicit and implicit knowledge. The question is can explicit grammar knowledge (Li's knowledge) become implicit knowledge (Jim's knowledge)? What is Noticing? Noticing is basically the idea that if learners pay attention to the form and meaning of certain language structures in input, this will contribute to the internalization of the rule (Batstone, 1996). ". . . we don't actually try to influence the construction of the complex network [implicit knowledge] . . . because really learners can only do it themselves. How Do Teachers Help Students Notice? How can we as teachers help students notice target forms? Conclusion Lesson Plan John: Hello.
5 examples of how the languages we speak can affect the way we think Keith Chen (TED Talk: Could your language affect your ability to save money?) might be an economist, but he wants to talk about language. For instance, he points out, in Chinese, saying “this is my uncle” is not as straightforward as you might think. “All of this information is obligatory. This got Chen wondering: Is there a connection between language and how we think and behave? While “futured languages,” like English, distinguish between the past, present and future, “futureless languages” like Chinese use the same phrasing to describe the events of yesterday, today and tomorrow. But that’s only the beginning. Navigation and Pormpuraawans In Pormpuraaw, an Australian Aboriginal community, you wouldn’t refer to an object as on your “left” or “right,” but rather as “northeast” or “southwest,” writes Stanford psychology professor Lera Boroditsky (an expert in linguistic-cultural connections) in the Wall Street Journal.

Teaching Methodology Teaching Approaches and Methodology There are many theories and methodologies ranging from, for example, Total Physical Response to the Silent Approach, which have been used to teach students a second language. However, we shall just focus on one particular methodology. Difficulties First of all, we should outline some of the typical difficulties that are experienced. There are a number of reasons for this, namely: Communicative and cultural language barrier: the JTE and ALT have difficulty understanding each other's intended actions and ideas. (Top of page) Suggested Lesson Planning Approach A very simple yet effective method of teaching is achieved by using the ARC approach. Clarification & Focus stage- e.g. Restrictive Exercise stage- Ss do an exercise as stipulated by the T/ALT to practice grammar structure and form, increase their English accuracy and test and demonstrate their ability on a given language point. A typical lesson might run something like this: CRCAC 1) Using Pictures Key
Language teaching methods Listed below are brief summaries of some of the more popular second language teaching methods of the last half century. For a more detailed analysis of the different methods, see Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching Richards, J. and Rodgers, T (1986) CUP Cambridge. The Direct Method Grammar-translation Learning is largely by translation to and from the target language. Audio-lingual The theory behind this method is that learning a language means acquiring habits. The structural approach This method sees language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be learned one at a time in a set order. Suggestopedia The theory underlying this method is that a language can be acquired only when the learner is receptive and has no mental blocks. Total Physical Response (TPR) TPR works by having the learner respond to simple commands such as "Stand up", "Close your book", "Go to the window and open it." Communicative language teaching (CLT) The Silent Way Community Language Learning Immersion
Teaching approaches: functional approaches in EFL/ ESL By Tim Bowen An article discussing functional approaches to teaching English. Methods and approaches such as Grammar Translation, Audiolingualism and Situational Language teaching are based on the presentation and practice of grammatical structures and, essentially, a grammar-based syllabus. In 1972, the British linguist D.A. Wilkins’ work was used by the Council of Europe in drawing up a communicative language syllabus, which specified the communicative functions a learner would need in order to communicate effectively at a given level of competence. Criticisms of functional approaches include the difficulty in deciding the order in which different functions should be presented. On the positive side, however, there is little doubt that functional approaches have contributed a great deal to the overall store of language teaching methodology.
E6-91-13-01.pdf English Teaching Methods | Teach English Abroad - Get TEFL Certified - Get Paid TEFL Jobs - Give Back Throughout the history of teaching languages a number of different teaching approaches and methodologies have been tried and tested with some being more popular and effective than others. If you’re just beginning your TEFL career, it would be beneficial to be familiar with a few of these. The Direct Method If you’ve ever heard the Direct Method being taught, you may have rightly mistaken it for some sort of military drill, which is not far off as it was first established in France and Germany in the early 1900’s to assist soldiers to communicate in a second language quickly. The direct method of teaching English is also known as the Natural Method. Its main focus is oral skill and it is taught via repetitive drilling. The Grammar Translation Method Just like its name suggests, this method of teaching English is grammar heavy and relies a lot on translation. The Audio Lingual Method This is related to the Direct Method and just like its predecessor it only uses the target language.
The cognitive approach to language learning and teaching The Cognitive Approach (awareness of the rules). Cognitive theory assumes that responses are also the result of insight and intentional patterning. Insight can be directed to (a) the concepts behind language i.e. to traditional grammar. It can also be directed to (b) language as an operation - sets of communicative functions. A variety of activities practised in new situations will allow assimilation of what has already been learnt or partly learnt. It will also create further situations for which existing language resources are inadequate and must accordingly be modified or extended - "accommodation". Cognitive theory therefore acknowledges the role of mistakes. How much cognitive theory do English language teachers need to know? Another ploy often used by teacher trainers is to put trainee teachers into the situations encountered by language learners. What are the principle drawbacks of mechanical or controlled drills and the ways of overcoming them? The drawbacks of meaningless drills:
The Best Method to Learn English | Language Teaching Methodology What is the best teaching method for learning English? According to academic research, linguists have demonstrated that there is not one single best method for everyone in all contexts, and that no one teaching method is inherently superior to the others. Also, it is not always possible – or appropriate – to apply the same methodology to all learners, who have different objectives, environments and learning needs. Applying the most appropriate method for that learner’s specific objectives, learning style and context. An experienced professional language teacher always adopts the Principled Eclecticism approach, deciding on the most suitable techniques and applying the most appropriate methodology for that learner’s specific objectives, learning style and context. Methods of teaching English have developed rapidly, especially in the previous 40 years.
