Three established approaches
We first review three established approaches to teaching languages - Grammar-translation, Audiolingualism and the Natural Approach - which are presented in chronological order. We then explore in greater detail the model of second language acquisition which informs the Natural Approach and which has been influential in providing support for aspects of the broader Communicative Approach.

What seems most important for you? How do you prefer to teach a second language? Do you emphasize explicit or implicit learning? What do you feel is the right balance? Why? |
