Q1. Can you think of times when you learned language by the different historical approaches..

- Grammar Translation Method?

- Audiolingual?

- Communicative Language Teaching?

Answer

When I was a student, I learned both Grammar Translation Method and Audiolingual.

I have to comply with teacher's rules and repeat after her in English class at that time.

 

 

Q2. Which have you experienced the most?

Answer

It is necessary for us to have every method. Especially I think we really need Communicative Language Teaching in case of speaking part.

 

 

Q3. Give examples of activities that fit into the different methods. In what ways were they effective or not?

Answer

I used reading method with pauses between phrases when I taught students English in academy. As they stuck on the long sentences, interpret sentences by

punctuating them. This method was effective. It is easy for them to understand many sentences.

 

 

 

 

 

Q4. How do you balance these approaches as a teacher?

Answer

There are 4 parts in English learning. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I think we should teach them English in different methods depending on each part.
