Defining Method, Approach, and Technique
-
Method: A pre-packaged set of guidelines for both teachers and learners, based on language and learning theories. It dictates materials, activities, teacher roles, learner approaches, and roles within the classroom.
-
Approach: The theoretical foundation underlying a method. It encompasses views on language (structural or functional) and language learning (psychological processes and required conditions). These theories are drawn from linguistics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics; forming the basis for language teaching principles and practices.
-
Technique: Specific exercises, activities, or tools used in a language class to accomplish lesson goals. Examples include grammar, vocabulary, spelling, translation exercises, role-playing, gap activities, games, puzzles, and using visual aids.
