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...

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING

  COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING Community Language Learning (CLL) is a teaching method developed in the 1970s in the USA by Jesuit priest, psychologist and educator Charles Curran. Drawing on principles of counselling therapy then prevalent, CLL emphasizes the importance of the learners themselves by calling them "clients" and letting them design lesson content. The teacher plays the part of "counsellor", while the learners are encouraged to work together, interacting and helping each other personally in a supportive community. The method, which aims to alleviate the anxiety and threat so often felt by language learners, is sometimes described as "counselling learning". Typical features of a CLL lesson: • target  language/mother tongue. • teacher/learner-centred. • counselling role for teacher; client roles for learners. • in-a-circle seating for learners. • recorder inside circle and teacher outside. • TL dialogue generated learner by le...

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 ...
