It plays a crucial role in enabling learners to develop proficiency in a second language. In this unit, we will explore the various approaches, methods, and techniques used in English language teaching. Understanding these methods is essential for language teachers to effectively plan and deliver instruction to their students.1. The role of language in teaching and learningLanguage is not solely a means of communication; it is also a tool for learning. It allows individuals to acquire knowledge, express ideas, and interact with others. In the context of language teaching, a comprehensive understanding of language is important. Teachers must consider the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, along with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. By incorporating these elements, teachers can promote language acquisition and development in their students.2. The communicative approachThe communicative approach is widely acknowledged as an effective language teaching method. It focuses on real-life communication and the purposeful use of language. In this approach, learners engage in meaningful tasks that require them to use English to express themselves authentically.The communicative approach encourages learners to develop their fluency and accuracy by providing opportunities for interaction and authentic communication.3. The lexical approachThe lexical approach emphasizes the importance of teaching vocabulary and collocations in language learning. It recognizes that grammar and vocabulary are interconnected and that learners must acquire both to communicate effectively. Teachers following the lexical approach prioritize teaching high-frequency and useful vocabulary, as well as the collocations and phrases associated with them. By developing a strong lexical repertoire, learners can enhance their language proficiency and understanding.4. Task-based language teachingTask-based language teaching (TBLT) is a learner-centered approach that focuses on the completion of meaningful tasks. In TBLT, learners are presented with a task that requires the use of language to accomplish a specific goal. These tasks can be simulations of real-life situations or problem-solving activities. By engaging in these tasks, learners develop their language skills while also achieving the task objective. TBLT promotes both language acquisition and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.5. Technology-enhanced language teachingTechnology has revolutionized language teaching and learning. It provides teachers and learners with access to an array of digital resources and tools. Technology-enhanced language teaching encompasses the use ofeducational software, online platforms, multimedia materials, and interactive activities. It enhances learner engagement and provides opportunities for independent learning. Integration of technology in language teaching opens up new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction.ConclusionEnglish language teaching methods continually evolve to meet the needs of diverse learners. It is essential for language teachers to keep abreast of current approaches and techniques to maximize instructional effectiveness. The approaches discussed in this unit, including the communicative approach, lexical approach, task-based language teaching, and technology-enhanced language teaching, provide teachers with valuable frameworks to deliver comprehensive and engaging language instruction. By applying these methods, language teachers can foster language learning and promote language proficiency development in their students.(Word count: 585)。

The system of language = the system of sounds +the system of words +the system of grammarThe functional view(The functional-notional view)The functional view sees language asa linguistic systemand asa means for doing thingsThe interactional viewThe interactional view sees language asa communicative tool(to build up and maintain relations between people).,The interactional view sees language primarily as means for establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships and for performing transactions between individuals.,The target of language learning is learning to initiate andmaintain conversation with other people Two things are needed for communication,Rules of language form (grammar & vocabulary),Rules of language use in a context (Is it appropriate to use this language item in this context?)Views on Language LearningBehaviorismThree basic behaviorist ideas about learning,1. Conditioning (Pavlov and the dribbling dogs): learning is seenas a question of developing connections (known as stimulus-response bonds) between events.,2. Habit formation (Skinner and the sporty pigeon),3. The importance of the environment (writing on a clean slate) organism: person or animal that does the learning ,Environment: an event, a situation or another person (teacher or parent)Environment OrganismThe Cognitive theory,Chomsky:,Language is not a form of behaviour. It is an intricate (complicated) rule-based system. (Language is rule-governed.) ,There area finite number of grammatical rules in the system and with knowledge of these rules an infinite number of sentences can be produced. (Languageis generative. )Students should be asked to think rather than simply repeat.Constructivist views,Learning is a process in which the learner construct meaning based on his/her own experiences and what he/she already knows.,Constructivism is a broad term used by philosophers, curriculum designers, psychologists, educators, and others. Most people who use the term emphasize “the learner?s contribution to meanin g and learning through both individualand social activity”.Social constructivism,Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners.Vygotsky?s theory,Vygotsky? concept of the zone of proximal development: a child can solve a problem with the help (scaffolding) ofan adult or more able peer.,Vygotsky?s work formed the basis for the cooperative learning programs .He even recommended pairing more competent students with less competent students to elevate the latter?s competence.scaffolding,Scaffolding: the technique of changing the level of support overthe course of a teaching session; a more-skilled person (teacher or more-advanced peer of the child) adjusts the amount of guidance to fit the student?s current performance. When the task the student is learning is new, the teacher might use direct instruction. As the student?s competence increases, less guidance is provided.,Think of scaffolding in learning like the scaffolding used to construct a building. The scaffolding provides support when needed, but it is adjusted and gradually removed as the building approaches completion.Researchers found that when scaffolding is used by teachers and peers in collaborative learning, students? learning benefits.Teaching grammarGrammar teaching depends on certain variables(learner and instructional ) in the languageteaching/learning contextGrammar presentation methods-deductive method: relies on reasoning, analyzing and comparingteaching procedure:teacher?s example on the board,teacher?s explanation of the rules (in student?s native language),student?s practice application of the rules.Advantages:good for selected and motivate students;save time to explain complex rules;increase students? confidence inexamination.Disadvantages:grammar is taught isolatedly;little attention is paid to meaning;the practiceis often mechanical-inductive method:teaching procedure;authentic languagepresentation(give grammar examples);let students observe,analyse,compare examples;help students induct grammar rules,Advantages:inspire students? thinking activities;motivate students? learning interests;grammar is taught in context.Disadvantages:the presentation of grammar is more complex and time consumption;grammar is not taught directly;some rules can not be induced easily-guided discovery method: Similar to the inductive method:the students are induced to discover rules by themselves (similar);the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.(different) Implicit and explicit knowledge:Implicit knowledge refers to knowledge that unconsciously exists in our mind, which we can make use of automatically without making any effort;Explicit knowledge refers to our conscious knowledge about the language. We can talk about it, analyse it and apply it in conscious ways.Learning and acquiring (second language acquisition theory)The synthesis approaches to grammatical pedagogy:Collocational: grammar should be built on collocational relations between individual lexical items and their subcategories.Constructive: one?s knowledge of grammar is built bit by bit, which closely model the way language is learned and used.Contextual: Elements and structures are taught in relation to their context. Syntactic and lexical choices are explicitly related to pragmatic ones, and to social and cultural contexts.Contrastive: grammar involves drawing the learner?s attention to contrast the differences between the target language and other language.Grammar practice:Pre-learning;Volume and repetition:Success-orientation.Heterogeneity .Teacher assistance.Interest1.Mechanical practice:activities that are aimed at form accuracy.By doing mechanical practice,students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure.form of practice:Substitution and transformation drills2. Meaningful practice the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students “keep an eye on” the way newly learned structures are used in the process.ing prompts for practice:The prompts can be pictures, mimes, tables, charts or key words, etc. A good presentation should includeboth oral and written and form and meaning Visual materials can aid comprehensionIt?s the teacher?s involvement and his or her ability to personalise teaching and make activities engaging that often promotes successful learning.Teaching vocabularyThe first question need to know is what does knowing a word involve.A word:knowing its pronunciation and stress; spelling and grammatical properties; meaning; how and when to use it to express the intended meaning (freestanding and bound morphine) Vocabulary learning involves ate least two aspects of meaning: the understanding of its denotative and connotative meaning; and understanding the sense relations among wordsDenotative meaning of a word or a lexical item refers to those words that we use to label things as regards real objectsConnotative meaning of a word refers to …the attitudes or emotions of a language user in choosing aword and the influence of these on the listener or reader?s interpretation of the word. This words that may express a positive or negative attitude or subtle feelings toward something.Collocations refers to words that co-occur with high frequency and have been accepted as ways for the use of words. It is believed that teaching word collocations is a more effective way than just teaching one single word at a time.Synonyms refer to items that mean the same, or nearly thesame.Antonyms refer to items that mean the opposite of a word.Hyponyms refer to words which can be grouped together under the same superordinate concept Receptive and Productive vocabulary Passive vocabulary: the words they know.Active vocabulary: the words they useSo the job for the teacher is to guide the students to those words which will help them to add to their active vocabularies, and to distinguish those words from the much larger number of passive items. At the beginning of language learning, all the words which are taught must be acquired for active use, later, at intermediate and advanced levels, most of the words students meet will only be needed for passive use.Ways of consolidating vocabulary:labelling,spot thedifference,descibe and draw,play a game,use word series,word bingo,word association,find a synonyms and antonym,categories,using word net-work,using the Internet resources for some ideasDeveloping vocabulary building strategies:review regularly,guess meaning from context, Organize vocabulary effectively,using a dictionary,manage strategy useTeaching listeningListening problems:lack of teaching materials,both with print materials and audio or video tapes,lack of equipment in someschools;lack of real-life situations:lack of professional qualified instructors A number of people have frequently made the point that of the total time an individual is engaged in communication: approximately 9% is devoted to writing, 16% to reading, 30% to speaking,45% to listeningListening and reading are receptive skills, but listening can be more difficult than reading. Different speakers produce the same sounds in different waysThe listener has little or no control over the speed of the input of spoken material; Spoken material is often heard only once and in most cases，we cannot go back and listen again as wecan when we read;The listener cannot pause to work out the meaning of the heard material as can be done when reading; Speech is more likely to be distorted by the media which transmit sounds or background noise that can make it difficult to hear clearly;The listener sometimes has to deal simultaneously with another task while listening, such as formal note-taking, writing down directions or messages from telephone calls, or operating while listening to instructions.Characteristics of the listening process,formal orinformal?rehearsed or non-rehearsed?can the listener interact with the speaker or not?Listening characteristics:Spontaneity,Context,visualclues,listener?s response,speaker?s adjustmentListening purpose:for social reasons,to obtain and exchange informationPrinciples and models of teaching listeningFocus on process:(they have to hear what is being said,they have to pay attention and construct a meaningful message in their mind by relating what they hear to what they already know;it?s alsopossible to hear people talking without paying attention;we also know that if we don?t have enough previous knowledge of what is being said,it?s more difficult to make sense of what is said)Combine listening with other skills;Focus on the comprehension of meaning;Grade difficulty level appropriatelyDesigning listening activity:give a clear purpose, a specifictask,an appropriate context for doing them Bottom-up model:Listening comprehension is believed to start with sound and meaningrecognitions.In other words,…we use information in the speech itself to try to comprehend the meaning?Listeners construct meaning of what they hear based on the sound they hear.Top-down model:listening for gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge to construct meaning are emphasised.In other words,listening comprehension involves …knowledge that a listener brings to a text,sometimes called …inside the head? information,as opposed to the information that is available within the text itself? In such a case,listeners can understand better if they know something about the speaker,the setting,the topic and the purpose of the talk.prior knowledge or schematic knowledge—mental frameworks for various things and experience we hold in our long-term memoryPre-listening activities:aim to motivate students,to activate their prior knowledge,and to teach key words or key sentences to the students before listening begins predicting,setting the scene,listening for the gist and specific informationWhile-listening:no specific responses,listen and tick,listen and sequence,listen and act,listen and draw,listen and fill,listen and take notesPost-listening:multiple-choice questions,answering questions,note-taking andgap-filling ,dictogloss(preparation dictation reconstruction analysis and correction) Integrate listening with the practice of other language skills,role play,debate,discussion,writing back Teaching speakingSpeech characteristic:spontaneous,full of false starts repetitions incomplete sentences short phrases time-constraintspoken languages features:Using less complex syntax;Taking short cuts,(incomplete sentences);Using fixed conventional phrases/ chunks. Using devices such as fillers, hesitation device to give time to think before speaking.Both learners and teachers need to learn to acceptrepetitions,rephrase,hesitations,incomplete sentences,fillers or pauses.this doesn?t mean we don?t encourage fluent speaking.In training students?speaking skills,features of natural speech should be accepted.this doesn?t only haveimplication for teaching speaking but also for assessingspeaking.Encourage students to speak up is the first and most important taskPrinciples:Balancing accuracy-based with fluency-based practices, Contextualising practice, Personalising practice, Building up confidence, Maximising meaningful interactions, Helping students develop speaking strategiesDesigning speaking tasks:meaningful motivation linguistically appropriate cognitively challenge Maximum foreign talk evenparticipation high motivation right language levelPre-communicative activities :structural,quasi-communicative Communicative activities :Functional communicative and SocialinteractionRole-play :perform in different moods,change different role relationship,actual word can be varied,make the dialogue longer Learners should be helped move from form to using what is learned in meaningful communication The problem is not having nothing to say but lacking the opportunity to say itTeaching readingReading aloud and silent reading:Reading aloud cannot replace silent reading as it involves only the skills of pronunciation andintonation.Real reading ability re-quires the reading skills of skimming, scanning, predictingEffective reading:clear purpose in reading; read silently; read phrase by phrase,rather than word by word; concentrate on the important bits,skim the rest,and skip the insignificant parts; use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks; perceive theinformation in the target language rather than mentally translate; guess the meaning of new words from the context,or ignore them; use background information to help understand the text.Reading comprehension means extracting the relevant information from the text as efficiently as possible,connecting the information from written message with one?s own knowledge to arrive at an understanding (construction of meaning from printed or written message) Two broad levels in reading:1) a recognition task of perceivingvisual signals from the printed page through the eyes;2) a cognitive task of interpreting the visual information,relating the receive information with reader?s own knowledgeVocabulary role:efficient reading begins with a lightening-like automatic recognition of word.this initial process of accurate,rapid and automatic recognition of vocabulary frees one?s mind to use other resources(reasoning abilities,,knowledge about topic)to construct meaningSight vocabulary:you can recognise with both sounds and meanings without special effort from your brainFluent reading depends on an adequate sight vocabulary,a general knowledge about the target language, some knowledge about the topic, wide knowledge about the world and enough knowledge about text types.Teaching model:bottom-up model top-down model interactive modelPre-reading:pooling existing knowledge about the topic;predictingthe contents of the text,skimming and scanning the text or parts of thetext for certain purpose;learning key words and structures(predicting setting the scene skimming scanning)While reading: Information presented in plain text form is not facilitative for information retentionThe way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transition device Reading comprehension questionsQuestions for literal comprehension.directly and explicitlyavailable in the ually answered in the words of the text itself.Questions involving reorganization or reinterpretation.obtainliteral information from various parts and put it to-gether or reinterpretQuestions for inferences. This type of questions require students to consider what is implied but not explicitly stated.Questions for evaluation or appreciation.most sophisticated ques-tions which involve making a judgment about the text in terms of what the writer is trying to convey.Questions for personal response. The answers to these questions depend most on the reader?s reaction to the content of the text.Post-reading:discussion questions,reproducing the text,roleplay,gap-filling,discussion,retelling,writing The teaching of reading should focus on developing students?reading skills and strategies and on maintaining students?motivation for readingTeaching writingWriting purpose:get things done and to form;maintain social relationships;give a voice for shy students;less threatening for anxious students as it gives them to think about their meaning and purpose;raise awareness of how language worksA communicative approach to writing:Writing for learning” and “writing for communication”Sense of authenticity and audience motivation for writing purposefor writing proper procedures for writingProblems in writing tasks:They are mainly accuracy-based.They are designed to practise a certain target structures.There is insufficient preparation before the writing stage.There is no sense of audience and authenticity.Students are given ideas to express rather than beinginvited to invent their own.There is no opportunity for creative writing, particular for expressing unusual or original ideas.Many of them aretest-oriented.The important point is that they are given the freedom to writeabout themselves rather than to write what they are told to write and therefore what they write should be more meaningful and communicativeA process approach to writing: creating a motivation to write, brainstorming, mapping, freewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revising, proofreading and conferencing.Motivating students to write.1.make the topic of writing as close as possible to students? life.leave students enough room for creativity and imagination. prepare students well before writing. encouragecollaborative group writing as well as individual writing. provide opportunities for students to share their writings. provide constructive and positive feedback.treat students? errors strategically. give students a sense of achievement from time to time.We have emphasized that the teaching of writing should focus on the process rather than the product, and that all the writing tasks should have communicative purposesSummative assessment is mainly based on testing,it?s done mostly at the end of a learning period or a school yearFormative assessment is based on information collected in the classroom during the teaching process for the purpose of improving teaching and learningTeacher?s observations continuous assessment student?s self-assessment project work portfolios。
