Study Notes
Traditional Grammar Translation Method
- Focuses on translation between the target and native language, using dictionaries.
- Rote learning prioritizes memorization of words, often neglecting comprehension, spelling, and pronunciation.
- Emphasizes memorizing grammar rules over understanding their application.
- Limits oral practice, focusing mainly on written exercises.
- Instruction is delivered in the student's native language, reducing target language exposure.
- Provides limited opportunities for speaking in the target language.
Direct Method
- Promotes direct learning through listening, reading, and speaking in the target language.
- Encourages understanding via active listening, reading, and speaking practice.
- Emphasizes associating words with real-life objects and relatable images.
- Prioritizes communication skills over explicit grammar instruction.
- Leverages context-based teaching, using relatable scenarios and topics.
- Deferring grammar instruction until students achieve basic fluency.
Audio-Lingual Method
- Rooted in behaviorist principles, emphasizing stimulus-response connections.
- Drills learners on language structures to establish habits.
- Emphasizes correct pronunciation through repetition and memorization.
- Prioritizes listening and speaking skills over reading and writing, believing these build fluency.
- Views language as a system of habits formed through practice and exposure.
Total Physical Response (TPR)
- Developed by James Asher, this method uses physical actions to reinforce language concepts.
- Employs physical actions to aid comprehension, particularly for learners struggling with understanding verbal instructions.
- Teachers model actions, assisting learners to understand and respond.
- Comprehension precedes spoken expression, connecting actions and language.
- Completely excludes the student's native language to immerse them in the target language.
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
- Based on constructivist principles, encouraging active participation in constructing meaning through communication.
- Prioritizes interaction and communication as the core function of language.
- Incorporates text-based learning to allow learners to construct meaning from diverse texts.
- Favors task-based learning, using real-world activities to enhance communication skills.
- Views language as a tool for communication promoting fluency and interaction.
