Approaches in English language teaching have
been developed with a view to instructing people in a second language like the communicative approach, which is based
on speaking; hence, communicative
activities that focus on fluency. In this unit I learned on other methods
to teach English. Structural approach, this is based on structures utilized to communicate meaning. Task-based learning
(TBL) use functions, vocabulary,
structures and discourse to teach a language. Presentation, Practice and production (PPP), it states that
grammatical structures and functions are the most important aspect of language.
Lexical approach, it establishes
that vocabulary, which consists of individual words and different kinds of chunks such as collocations, idioms,
and fixed expressions, is the most important aspect of language. There are also
other methods such as Functional Approach, Grammar-Translation, Total Physical
Response (TPR), Guided discovery, Content-based learning and Content and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) that have contributed in the English
language teaching. To apply the knowledge on this unit in the classroom, it is
necessary to know the steps that involve each of them in order to find out what
could fit in the class, taking into account that that method maybe could not be
applied in other class.
