1276. Different ways to teach English



Teacher B said to teacher A, “My methodology or approach to teaching English is communicative. 

However there are other approaches, like the notional one, in which the learner learns the language by notions: at the airport, at a restaurant, shopping, notions or fields of everyday vocabulary. 

Also there is a performative methodology, which makes you ask for something, order something at a pub, give statements for example about the weather. 

I see my students have to learn to communicate with one another, and in the remaining of their lives. 

Those are methodologies. And each activity in the class is a method, or a technique. 

I prefer the communicative approach to teaching the language.” / Photo from: articles washingtonpost com.
