THE SILENT WAY METHOD

Imagen
THE SILENT WAY METHOD The Silent Way was founded in the early 1970s by the Egyptian mathematician and educator Caleb Gattegno. It is based on the idea that language learning can be enhanced in three main ways: discovery rather than teaching; problem solving in the target language; the use of physical tools. Above all, the teacher should be seen and not heard. In the Silent Way, the teacher is a facilitator, intervening vocally only if absolutely necessary. Learning is achieved through the use of color-coded charts that represent the sounds and spellings of language and small, colored, multi-length blocks of wood called Cuisenaire rods (originally designed for mathematics). An essential tenet of the Silent Way is that the teacher does not teach but helps the learner learn. TYPICAL FEATURES OF SILENT WAY LESSON: • target language/some mother tongue. • learner-centred. • teacher silence except as last resort. • TL sounds presented via sound-colour chart. • Cuisen...

The direct method

The direct method According to the investigation made by the team; the direct method has as its main objective ( communicating using target language ) therefore, It is considered that students should learn how to think in target language, one of the most difficult but valuable goals that students should reach. It is also interesting that in this kind of method the role of teachers and students is to be more like partners in their teaching and learning process, this has of course a simple answer which is the interaction that has go both ways because as its name suggests; It’s a direct method. Every student has to know that one of their principles is that they are not allowed to use any kind of translation tool in their learning process, experts consider that the target language should be learned just like their mother tongue was, by inferring things on their own and interacting as much a s they can with the environment and people that surround them in certain way, this kind of metho...

TASK BASED LANGUAGE LEARNING

TASK BASED LANGUAGE LEARNING  Task-based Learning (TBL) is an approach that has roots in the Communicative Language Teaching method, where the teaching process is done entirely through communicative tasks. In order to fully acquire language, it must have real meaning by being used in natural contexts. With Task-based Learning, teachers ask students to complete purposeful tasks that elicit the use of the target language. Assessment centers around the general outcome of the task, rather than meticulously picking apart each element of speech. In doing this, you celebrate the successful, appropriate completion of a task, which in turn boosts student confidence immensely.ased Language Learning. The first principle, scaffolding, claims that the chosen lessons and materials have to ensure that learning can take place. Thus, the learners have to be provided the language they need in order to complete the task (Nunan 2007: 35). Second, task dependency states that each task has to ...
