APPROACH
• Approach: this term is relatively new compared
to the term method. An approach refers to the principles and assumptions underlying the process of language teaching and learning. It describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught. It is also considered a theory of applied linguistics , which seeks to explain the phenomenon of language learning in terms which assist the learner achieve his goal. METHOD • Method : is the application of the principles underlying a particular approach. A method consists of the use of certain number of techniques in a systematic way in order to achieve the aim of the language teaching. A method consists of the lesson plan, the syllabus , the textbook, other teaching materials and the number of teaching periods. A method is procedural in the sense that it shows accurately how a language should be taught as it deals with the practical side of foreign language instruction. PROCEDURE Procedure : It is an ordered sequence of techniques . It is a sequence which can be described in terms of such as“ First, you do this . Then you do that……………………………” A procedure is smaller than a method and bigger than a technique. TECHNIQUE A technique refers to all the activities used by the teacher and performed by the pupils in the classroom. For example , audio visual aids such as tape recorders , t.v. sets ,slides , video recorders are techniques which are used to achieve an immediate objective. Some techniques are used with a variety of methods such as imitation and repetition. Others,however are specific to a given method SUMMARY Many teachers use metaphors to separate out these levels of abstraction. For example, the trainer , David Valente turns to the art of cooking, the approach is our belief in cooking, the method is the recipe book, the procedure is the actions such as mixing , chopping, marinating……etc. and the technique is how to mix and chop for example.
