used to make translations.

Language View
It is mainly focused on the development of English through writing and reading.

Skills developed Many words are learned.

Techniques Used

METHOD: Direct Method

Principle Description
Goals The direct method is also known as the natural method. It was developed as a reaction to the grammar-translation
method and is designed to take the learner into the domain of the target language in the most natural manner.

Techniques Used the emphasis on listening and speaking

Advantages
there is a focus on speaking and listening, and only useful ‘everyday' language is taught.

Disadvantages
The weakness in the Direct Method is its assumption that a second language can be learnt in exactly the same
way as a first, when in fact the conditions under which a second language is learnt are very different.

METHOD: Audio-Lingual Method

Principle Description
Goals

Audio-lingualism is a method of foreign language teaching where the emphasis is on learning grammatical and
phonological structure, especially for speaking and listening.

Teacher Role The teacher spends most of the time in the class drilling the learners on grammatical and phonological structures.
Error correction is also important.

Student Role In the classroom

Audio-lingualism evolved in the context of large-scale language teaching programmes.

Teaching and It is based on behaviourism and so relies on formation.

Principle Description
Goals
he learner should be encouraged to produce as much language as possible.

Teacher Role The teacher shows the learners a small red Cuisenaire rod and a bigger blue one and says ‘The blue one is bigger
than the red one'. The learners repeat this. The teacher then substitutes the rods to produce other models, and
finally encourages the learners to produce their own comparisons.

Student Role - The learner needs to discover or create

- Learning is made easier by the use of physical objects such as Cuisenaire rods

Principle Description
Goals Of teaching a foreign language in which students learn quickly by being made to feel relaxed, interested and
positive.

Teacher Role

Instructions: Complete the following information about each method’s principles.

METHOD: Communicative Language Teaching

Principle Description
Goals
Communicative language teaching prioritizes developing students' communication and interaction skills. This
ensures that students can communicate effectively and confidently in real-life situations through student-to-
student interaction and student-to-teacher interaction.

Teacher Role
Role-playing is an effective activity that is often used in the CLT classroom. For example, some students may love
shopping, so the teacher decides that they should discuss their love of shopping through a role-playing activity.
One student will act as the cashier while the other will act as the customer

Student Role students can have a conversation that one may often hear between cashiers and customers in real life, such as
being asked how the weather is, how their day is going, what brings them into the store, and so much more.

Teaching and the communicative approach, which entails teaching language through communication. This approach to teaching
Learning View language frames communication as both a goal and a method for English language learners, whose first language
is not English.

Interaction Interviews are also a great way to use CLT in the classroom.

Language View One advantage is that it is holistic, which means that the approach to language focuses on the whole picture
rather than smaller aspects of it. Instead of focusing on grammatical errors, teachers who use CLT will focus on
fluency and the student's interests over other means of acquiring language skills, such as learning grammar
through worksheets.

Skills developed The communicative approach uses tools, and technology for a personalized learning approach as well. Each
student learns differently and has different interests, so through CLT, teachers can make learning more
individualized to best meet the needs of their students.

Techniques Used The communicative approach uses tools, and technology for a personalized learning approach as well. Each

student learns differently and has different interests, so through CLT, teachers can make learning more
individualized to best meet the needs of their students.

Advantages
One advantage is that it is holistic, which means that the approach to language focuses on the whole picture
rather than smaller aspects of it. Instead of focusing on grammatical errors, teachers who use CLT will focus on
fluency and the student's interests over other means of acquiring language skills, such as learning grammar
through worksheets.

Disadvantages
One disadvantage is that CLT is a less formal approach that focuses on fluency rather than accuracy, which
makes it a more basic approach. While fluency is an important aspect of the language learning process, having
their errors go without correction may hinder the students' ability to form a sentence that is grammatically correct.

Instructions: Complete the following information about each method’s principles.

METHOD: Cooperative Learning

Principle Description
Goals Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals.

Teacher Role Teachers (a) explain the academic assignment to students, (b) explain the criteria for success, (c) structure
positive interdependence, (d) structure individual accountability, (e) explain the behaviors (i.e., social skills)
students are expected to use, and (f) emphasize intergroup cooperation (this eliminates the possibility of
competition among students and extends positive goal interdependence to the class as a whole). Teachers may
also teach the concepts and strategies required to complete the assignment. By explaining the social skills
emphasized in the lesson, teachers operationalize (a) the social skill objectives of the lesson and (b) the
 UANL

METODOLOGIA DE LA ENSEÑANZA

interaction patterns (such as oral rehearsal and jointly building conceptual frameworks) teachers wish to create.

Student Role Assessing students’ learning and helping students process how well their groups functioned. Teachers (a) bring
closure to the lesson, (b) assess and evaluate the quality and quantity of student achievement, (c) ensure students
carefully discuss how effectively they worked together (i.e., process the effectiveness of their learning groups), (d)
have students make a plan for improvement, and (e) have students celebrate the hard work of group members.
The assessment of student achievement highlights individual and group accountability (i.e., how well each
student performed) and indicates whether the group achieved its goals (i.e., focusing on positive goal
interdependence). The group celebration is a form of reward interdependence. T

makes shy and less talkative students speak up and force everyone to be listening for a specific amount of time.
Through this activity, students improve speaking and listening skills equally and get to know their classmates
better.

Skills developed Communication includes not only speaking, reading and writing, but also listening. And it is exactly in practising
the latter that the next strategy focuses on.

Techniques Used listening without the urge to respond helps listeners focusing on the speaker and listening only to understand,
which is the definition of active listening.

Advantages
A good way to involve some movement before starting a Timed-Pair-Share and to make sure students get to talk
to everybody else in the classroom and not merely their neighbours is Agree-Disagree Line-ups.

Disadvantages
Peer tutoring’s downside is that it implies that some students are weaker than others and need therefore some
