Methodologies Flashcards
1
Q
What are the three methodologies
A
- Grammar Translation
- Audio-lingual (also known as the army method)
- Communicative language teaching (CLT)
2
Q
Most important skills within the methodologies
A
- GT = written word and its grammar structures superior to the spoken word
- AL = speaking and listening most important, the spoken word is superior
- CLT = equal emphasis on all four macro skills, communication primary within this methodology
3
Q
Importance of grammar in methodologies
A
- GT = students memorise all grammar structures/paradigms
- AL = students work out grammar for themselves
- CLT = Grammar is taught/picked up on a teachers discretion alongside visual aids to help explain grammar
4
Q
Context in methodologies
A
- GT = teacher will introduce a text for students to translate and analyse
- AL = context is key, there is a set dialogue
- CLT = context is still necessary but dialogue is authentic. Students give the notion (the idea) and have to create the function (the purpose)
5
Q
Language used in different methodologies
A
- GT = teaches in L1, all communication and instruction are in L1 (the native language)
- AL = Teaches only in L2 (the target language)
- CLT = primarily teaches in L2. L1 is used at the teachers discretion.
6
Q
Teacher is
A
- GT = Boss
- AL = Orchestrator
- CLT = Facilitator
7
Q
Error correction
A
- GT = error correction and correct answers are of primary importance
- AL = error correction and correct answers are of primary importance
- CLT = errors are tolerated and seen as a natural part of learning
8
Q
Grammatical rules
A
- GT = Students explain grammatical rules
- AL = students do not explain grammatical rules
- CLT = students do not explain grammatical rules
9
Q
Oral fluency
A
- GT = oral fluency and communication is not the aim
- AL = oral fluency and communication is the primary aim
- CLT = oral fluency is one of the four aims
10
Q
Use of similarities in methodologies
A
- GT = similarities are drawn between L1 and L2
- AL = no similarities are drawn between L1 and L2
- CLT = similarities between L1 and L2 are used at the teachers discretion
