Grammar translation

     What is the main learning objective? to enable students to read and translate literature written

     in the source language, and to further students' general intellectual development

     What is the role of the teacher? To provide a model of good grammar and to help students learn

how to translate.

     What is the role of the student? The students have to translate all of the information that they

     recieve from the teacher

     What materials are used?  The teacher uses a textbook, institutionally prepared materials, or his

     or her own materials, instructional materials

     What are the teaching activities? Grammar is taught deductively by presentation and study of

     grammar rules, which are practiced through translation exercises. Vocabulary selection is based

solely on the reading text used, and words are taught through bilingual word list, dictionary study,

and memorization.

Direct method

     What is the main learning objective? The direct method was developed in response to the 

grammar translation method, which involved very little spoken communication and listening

comprehension. The primary objective of the direct method was to teach L2 learners how to use

language for communication purposes

What is the role of the teacher?  Before teaching, this kind of method says that the teachers must

have a good pronunciation and good knowledge of the language, because the students must

have a good suport to trust and to improve themselves, so also the teacher must improve their

teacher skills to speak and explain better the words and ideas, something like involve the

students with the culture of the language.

What is the role of the student? ? As the student we must cooperate, speak as well we can, and

of course try to associate the new ideas to our daily routine, speak and do not stop speaking,

investigate the pronunciation and make questions to the teacher if we don't know a meaning.

     What materials are used? ? Give the students instructions in the target language to improve their                  listening. Everyday practice vocabulary. Comunicate skills will be build in a question – answer    

way. Learn grammar will be inductively (From general to particular) The teacher ideas must be

in an oral way. * The vocabulary must be teaching with demostration, objects, pictures, abstract

vocabulary by association ideas. * The pronunciation will be emphasized

     What are the teaching activities?  

     Never translate: Demostrate. Never explain: act Never make

     a speech: Make questions Never imitated mistakes: Correct Never speak with single words: Use

     sentences. Never speak too much: Make the studentesspeak much Never use the book: use

     your lesson plan Never jump arround: follow your plan. Never go fast. Never speak to slowly,

     quickly or loudly: Naturally. Be patient

Audiolingual method

     What is the main learning objective?

     Shortrange objectives include training in listening

     comprehension, accurate pronunciation, recognition of speech symbols as graphic signs on the

     printed page, and ability to reproduce these symbols in writing

     What is the role of the teacher?  The teacher models the target language, controls the direction

     and pace of learning, and monitors and corrects the learners' performance.

        What is the role of the student?   Learners play a reactive role by responding to stimuli, and thus

        have little control over the content, pace, or style of learning. They are not encouraged to initiate

        interaction, because this may lead to mistakes.

        What materials are used?  They are primarily teacher oriented. At this stage in learning, exposure

        to the printed word may not be considered desirable, because it distracts attention from the aural

        input. The teacher, however, will have access to a teacher's book that contains the structured

        sequence of lessons xo be followed and the dialogues, drills, and other practice activities. When

        textbooks and printed materials are introduced to the student, they provide the texts of dialogues

        and cues needed for drills and exercises

        What are the teaching activities? Repetition, inflection, replacement, restatement, completion,

        transposition, expansion, contraction, transformation, integration, rejoinder, restoration.
