3. RESEARCH
Suggest two suitable methods and skills that are required to teach
ESL/EFL students. Base your answer on research studies, citing relevant
examples/evidence.
METHOD
Introduction
A method is a particular procedure for accomplishing or approaching something
especially a systematic or established one. Several methods have been
developed by the scholars to make English language teaching a piece of cake.
Effective and suitable approaches are part and parcel of English language
teaching learning process. Orderly methods are to be implemented in the class,
lest the effective teaching should fail.
Although the educators suggest umpteen methods, the best methods are found to
be audio lingualism and communicative approach. These methods are the
proven methods that are used in the classroom to make English language
teaching more and more interesting. These methods generally involve a vast
variety of exercises, activities, tasks, etc. which help to turn the monotonous
theory into practice.
Let us have a detailed look at thesemethods.
The audio-lingual method, Army Method, or New Key, is a method of
teaching used in teaching foreign languages. It is based
on behaviourist theory,itconcentrates on long repetitive drills where the learners
are trained into using the language appropriately. It means that the teacher
would present the task first and then the students would reprise it, memorize and
learn the vocabularies to be able to produce.
This approach to language learning was similar to another, former method
called the direct method. Like the direct method, the audio-lingual method
instructed that students should be taught a language directly, without using the
students' native language to explain new words or grammar in the target
language. However, unlike the direct method, the audio-lingual method did not
focus on teaching vocabulary. Rather, the teacher drilled students in the use
of grammar.
CHARACTERISTICS
Each skill (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) is treated and taught
separately.
The skills of writing and reading are not neglected, but the focus throughout
remains on listening and speaking.
Dialogue is the main feature of the audio-lingual syllabus.
Dialogues are the chief means of presenting language items. They provide
learners an opportunity to practice, mimic and memorize bits of language.
Patterns drills are used as an important technique and essential part of this
method for language teaching and learning.
The language laboratory was introduced as an important teaching aid.
Mother tongue was not given much importance, similar to the direct method,
but it was not deemphasized so rigidly.
Example
Teacher: There's a cup on the table ... repeat
Students: There's a cup on the table
Teacher: Spoon
Students: There's a spoon on the table
Teacher: Book
Students: There's a book on the table
Teacher: On the chair
Students: There's a book on the chair
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning language
successfully comes through real life communication contexts. When learners are
involved in real communication, their natural stratagems and instinct for
language acquisition will be utilized, and this will help them to learn to use the
languageeffectually and successfully.CLT highlights the social, cultural and
pragmatic features of languages.This approach uses reliable and dependable
language to a great degree in an attempt to build fluency in the language. It is
said to be the generally approved and accepted method because of its wide
diversity in classroom applications. It helps the students to interact in the target
language naturally and confidently.
PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Language learning is learning to communicate using the target
language.
Learner centred
Cooperative and collaborative learning
Interactive learning
Content based learning
Contextualisation is an integral part of this approach and the language
used to interact should be apt to the situation, the roles of the speakers,
the setting and the register.
Communicative activities are essential. Activities should be presented
in a situation or context and have a communicative purpose. Typical
activities of this approach are: games, problem-solving tasks, and role-
play. There should be information gap, choice and feedback involved
in the activities.
Learners must have constant interaction with and exposure to the target
language.
Development of the four productive and receptive skills —listening,
reading,speaking, and writing — is incorporated from the beginning,
since communication integrates the different skills.
The topics are selected and graded according to the age, needs, level,
and students’ interest.
Motivation is the primary factor. Teachers should elevate students’
interest right from the beginning of the lesson.
The role of the teacher is that of a guide, a facilitator or an instructor.
Trial and error is considered part of the learning process.
Evaluation concerns not only the learners’ accuracy but also their
fluency
