Study Notes
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
- CLT involves implementing a communicative approach in lesson plans, learning materials, and classroom practices.
Direct Method
- This method teaches a new language without referencing or using the student's first language, typically without translation.
Grammar Translation
- This method teaches languages by focusing on learning grammatical rules and vocabulary lists. Invented sentences are translated and graded.
Natural Approach
- This approach emphasizes teaching a language without explanations, grading, or correcting errors; the focus is on presenting meaningful input.
Needs Analysis
- This process identifies what a learner needs to do with a new language.
Psycholinguistics
- This study focuses on language and the mind, including the mental structure and processes that go into language acquisition.
Second Language Acquisition (SLA)
- SLA examines how learners acquire a new language, often by analyzing learner errors.
Task-Based Instruction (TBI)
- TBI focuses on real-world communicative problem-solving tasks. Learners complete activities that simulate realistic scenarios; emphasis is on meaning, rather than form.
English For Specific Purposes (ESP)
- ESP focuses on language skills needed for particular jobs or fields of study (e.g., English for occupational purposes or English for academic purposes).
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)
- TEFL involves teaching English in countries where it's not the official language.
