In this unit, we reviewed information that we learned
in the previous module EFLT methods
and approaches. First, let’s define an approach. It has to do with our personal
view about how language learning takes place. In some cases approaches may
refer to the ways or methods of teaching that we use. Some people that are in
favor of communicative approaches
say that language is a tool to communicate meaning, generally speaking for communicative activities.
I am going to mention some of the methods and
approaches that are useful for English teachers; PPP that says grammatical
structures and functions are the most important aspect in language. The first
step to follow is the presentation stage, after that we have to practice and
finally we have to present our product. Input
is really important, and activities such as situational presentations,
miming, drills and information gaps activities. We have the lexical Approach in which we have
to study chunks, collocations, idioms, etc. The functional approach that
focuses on functions usually graded according to their frequency of use. The communicative approaches are important to
mention because we use the language for interaction, taking into account accuracy and using authentic materials.
To sum up, we have also the grammar
translation, total physical response, guided discovery; Content based learning,
content and language and integrated learning

As a conclusion, there are many methods and approaches
to apply in education. The teacher
must manage all of them in order to put into practice in a real class. I
consider that I will apply this knowledge with my students choosing the correct
method and approach to teach them the target language. As we could see, there
are plenty of them and as I said the teacher is the person who is in charge of
deciding which one is the best for teaching.
