    Study Notes

    Foreign Language Teaching Methods

    • Grammar-Translation Method focuses on explicit grammar rules and vocabulary memorization, emphasizes formal knowledge over speaking and listening.

    • Direct Method advocates for target language immersion, no mother tongue usage, focuses on situational communication, grammar learned inductively through experience.

    • Audio-Lingual Method emphasizes habit formation, uses drills and repetition to internalize grammatical structures, focuses on oral fluency, can lead to rote learning without context.

    • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) prioritizes communication and interaction, uses real-life language, encourages student-centered activities like role-plays, discussions, and task-based learning to develop communicative skills.

    • Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) focuses on completing real-world tasks like problem-solving, project-based work, or simulations, emphasizes fluency over accuracy with feedback focusing on task performance.

    • Lexical Approach emphasizes vocabulary acquisition, arguing that mastery of language chunks (collocations, fixed expressions) is crucial for fluency and natural communication.

    • Method selection depends on course goals, student needs, and teaching context. Traditional methods suit reading/translation focus, while communicative approaches are preferred for real-life conversation skills.

    • Effective foreign language teaching requires a balance between methods, adapting to individual learning styles and objectives.

    • Modern methods shift towards student-centered learning, emphasizing practical language use and communicative competence.
