Teaching methods

Direct method
Audio-Lingual
SUGGESTOPEDIA

This method enables students to learn the language in the


nice, calm environment in the classroom during the
lessons.
Direct method

In this method, the teaching is


done entirely in the language
being learned. The learner is not
allowed to use his or her original
language. Grammar rules are
avoided and there is an emphasis
on good pronunciation.
Audio-Lingual The Audio-Lingual method
aims to develop
communicative competence
of students through
dialogues. Dialogues and
pattern drills that students
need to repeat are used to
form habits in learners that
will allow them to develop
quick and automatic
responses. Drills are useful
in foreign language teaching
in that they give students the
opportunity to perform what
they have learnt.
Grammar-Translation

In this method, learning is largely by translation to and from


the target language. Grammar rules are to be memorized and
long lists of vocabulary learned by heart. There is little or no
emphasis placed on developing oral ability. This method is
most commonly used in secondary education.
