About the lesson

This method of teaching English, also known as the direct method, seems to be a response to the Grammar translation technique. In this process, the teacher who is aiming to teach English as a second language, asks the learner to think in English so that they can communicate in English.

The technique aims at building a connection between thought and expression. It required the teacher to strictly prohibit the student from using his/her native language. The learner is supposed to perfectly express himself/herself in English, with proper accent and usage of grammatical skills. FluentU Logo

5 Approaches to Add Variety to Your Methodology of Teaching English
Know what my biggest mistake as a teacher was?

I was married to only one teaching methodology.

And just like any marriage, I needed to spice things up after a while.

When I started teaching some 20 years ago, my toolbox consisted of primarily the Audiolingual Method, otherwise known as the “Army Method.” I think the name speaks for itself.

It wasn’t until I learned more about all the great teaching methods out there, that I was able to make my classes more engaging and attractive to my students. And lesson planning became a lot easier.

While traditional methods are perfectly valid, they can quickly become outdated and lead to a lot of language-learning problems in the classroom. That’s why it’s important for second-language teachers to mix up their bags of tricks and add some flavor to the teaching methodology.

5 New Approaches to Spice up Your Methodology of Teaching English
With new research leading to the development of the Humanistic Approach to Education, English teaching methods have become more intuitive and focus on a holistic view of language learning—going beyond the mere cognitive functions of the learner. This places greater value on external factors when compared to traditional methods, like allowing students to learn by applying language outside the classroom or building lessons based on students’ strengths and interests.

Interesting, right? Let’s jump right in and learn more about these humanistic methods.

1. Suggestopedia
Suggestopedia has caught on quite a bit over the last few years.

This method is based on memorization of language “chunks.” For example, students read dialogues and texts aloud, usually to the rhythm of some type of music. The music is generally classical music, or some other genre suitable to target structure. This is known as “concert reading.”

The use of concert reading fosters a comfortable learning environment, particularly for those students who feel shy and apprehensive.

The Suggestopedia method is suitable for all levels and allows for lots of creativity and fun. Even advanced students can get a kick out of “singing” through their dialogues. For example, if the focus of the lesson is prepositions, you can sing out the following sentence: “Joe went ___ the supermarket ___ the street.” Then, students will shout back, “to” and “across” to fill in the blanks.

This type of reading makes for a great controlled practice following a grammar presentation.

2. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
CLIL has been widely discussed in recent years, and for good reason.

This method focuses on content more than language itself. In fact, language is seen as an enabler that allows students to use target structures within a given context.

This type of methodology is perfect for schools where teachers teach subjects in English, while the rest of the curriculum is taught in another language. As such, science, social studies and math can all be taught in this way. The language needed to comprehend the materials is integrated into the content in such a way where teachers don’t cover grammar and vocabulary extensively.
