Unit 1- TEFL i to I (2022/2023) Already
Passed
The Silent Way ✔✔The teacher aims to be as quiet as possible in the classroom, allowing their
students to produce as much language as possible through exploration with minimal instructions.
Cuisenaire rods can be used to represent word forms or structures, but the focus is on
experimentation by the learners using the blocks of language that have been introduced.
The Direct Method ✔✔A method of teaching where it is important that L1 is never used,
grammar is taught inductively, concrete vocabulary is introduced through demonstration, mime
and pictures and abstract vocabulary is introduced through association of ideas. Used by Berlitz
language schools.
The Total Physical Response ✔✔The teacher asks their students to stand, sit, dance, run, clap
and shout - which they do. The class then play a game of Simon Says, taking it in turns to lead
the activity. Used primarily with young learners.
The Grammar Translation Method ✔✔The teacher focuses most of their attention on
grammatical points, often explaining rules in depth and in the learners' L1 if possible. Learners
begin by reading and writing with the teacher, ensuring that mistakes are not made in the
structure of the language produced, at the expense of fluency and verbal communication.
Suggestopedia ✔✔The teacher asks the students to sit on beanbags on the floor and to listen to
gentle classical music. The teacher then reads a text while the students listen and relax.
Community Language Learning (CLL) ✔✔The content of the class is decided by the students, as
their feelings are the priority. Teachers have specific counselling training for this type of
teaching. Students sit in a circle and whisper their conversation to the teacher, who acts like a
translator.
Communicative Approach ✔✔The teacher works hard to ensure that as many activities as
possible focus on interaction in the classroom, with this interaction being both the means and the
goal of learning the language. Activities used will include role play, interviews, games, activities
and pair work. The ability to interact in the new language is the key to all that is done in the
classroom with a focus on meaningful functional language.
The Eclectic Method ✔✔A teacher varies the techniques and approaches they use in the
classroom based on what they believe works best for different items they are teaching and the
students in the class. Some activities may focus on grammatical accuracy, others on fluency and
others on tasks and projects.
Natural Approach ✔✔Attempts to mirror the processes of learning a first language - there is a
focus on communication rather than explicit grammar teaching. The student is not forced to
speak until they are ready and there is little error correction to reduce stress.
Audiolingual ✔✔The teacher presents sentences to the class and asks them all to repeat, firstly as
a group and then individually with the teacher providing feedback on accuracy and
pronunciation. The approach is teacher led and focuses largely on repetition of core structures
and sentences - not only in the classroom but also in language labs where available.
