Characteristics of LanguageLanguage is cultured based
Language is unique system Language is social behave
Language is medium of instructionLanguage is structural system
Language is made up habit
Characteristics of Foreign Language
Different Sound patterns
Different Words
Different Meaning
Little ode structure
Acquisition Learning
When language is
learnt naturally and
without any
systematic practice
then it is called
acquisition

Language is
learnt only
through practice.
The more the learner
is exposed to the
use of
language, the
better chance of
learning it.
Producing the
correct linguistic
response to a
stimulus requires
efforts. If the
learner is not
called upon to
make this effort
there is no
learning.
Producing
correct response
also requires
attention.
Behaviouri
sm
The spoken
language comes
earlier than the
written and the
passive experience
of language
is necessary before
any productive
(active) use
can begin.
Learning takes
place fast if a
correct response is
given t the
students. The
learner must know
at once if his effort is
right or wrong.
Every new item
must be learnt by
reinforcement
by further practice
before further
learning
begins.
Cognitivism
If a child ready to learn then he can be taught

Grammar Translation 1840s -
1940s
•It is one of the most traditional methods that was originally used to teach “dead” languages such as Latin and Greek.
•By analyzing the grammar and finding equivalents between the students’ language and the language to be studied, students will learn how the foreign language is constructed

What is TPR
A language teaching
method built around
the coordination of
speech and action; it
attempts to teach
language through
physical ( motor )
activity.
Audio-lingualism (1950s – 1960s )
Audio-lingual methodology owed its existence to the Behaviorist models of learning. It is based on Structural Linguistics and Behavioral psychology Using the Stimulus – Response Reinforcement model, it attempt, through a continuous process to engender good habits in language learners.
Structural Linguistic Language is a system of structural related elements, like phonological units, grammatical units, and lexical items, for the transmission of meaning. So to learn the target language is to mater the elements of the target language system.
Behavioral Psychology
•Language learning is habit-
formation.•Mistakes, the bad habit,
should be avoided.
•Language skills are learned
more effectively if they are
presented orally first, then in
written form.
•The meaning of words can be
learned only in a linguistic and
cultural context.

The Communicative Approach (CLT)it is a kind of foreign language teaching, which is based on the communication using the target language.
Presentation, Practice, Production
Task Based Learning (TBL)It focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language.
In TBL, Activities or tasks require the students to use the language in real life situations and to be focused on meaning.
A Task is an activity where the target language is used by the learner for a communicative purpose (goal) in order to achieve an outcome”
SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES
Pre-task
Introduction to topic and task: Teacher explores the topic with the class, highlights useful words and phrases, helps students understand task instructions and prepare.
Task Cycle
Task: Students do the task, in pairs or small groups. Teacher monitors from a distance.
Planning: Students prepare to report to the whole class( orally or in writing) how they did the task, what they decided or discovered.
Report: Some groups present their reports to the class, or exchange written reports and compare results.
Language Focus
Analysis: Students examine and discuss specific features of the text or transcript of the recording.
Practice: Teacher conducts practice or new words, phrases and patterns occurring in the data, either during or after the analysis (Willis 1996: 38).
Types of TasksLISTING: Processes: Brainstorming, fact-finding.
ORDERING AND SORTING:
Processes: Sequencing, ranking, categorizing, classifying.
COMPARING: Processes: Matching, finding similarities, finding differences.
PROBLEM SOLVING: Processes: Analysing real or hypothetical situations, reasoning, and decision making.
SHARING PERSONAL EXPERIENCES:
Processes: Narrating, describing, exploring and explaining attitudes, opinions, reactions.
CREATIVE TASKS: Processes: Brainstorming, fact-finding, ordering and sorting, comparing, problem solving and many others.
Community language learning Community language learning (CLL) is an approach in which students work together to develop what aspects of a language they would like to learn.
What makes a good teacher?• A simple answer for what makes a good teacher is that: Good teachers care more about their students’ learning than they do about their teaching.
