Total Physical Response

Is a language teaching method built around the coordination of speech


and action; it attempts to teach language through physical activity.

Student Role

Primary roles of listener and performer. They listen attentively and


respond physically to com- mands given by the teacher. Learners are
required to respond both individually and collectively.

Learners are also required to produce novel combinations of their own


learner monitor and evaluate their own progress.
Padilla Hernández José de Jesús

Teacher Role

The teacher plays an active and direct role. Classroom interaction and
turn taking is richer rather than learner directed. Even when learners
interact with other learners it is usually the teacher who initiates the
interaction

Audiolingual

Is a method used in teaching foreign languages, it’s based on


behaviorist theory.

- Repetition

- Inflection, one word in a sentence appears in another from when


repeated.

- Replacement

- Restatement the student rephrase an utterance

CLT

Is meaningful and interactive. Subtitled in the Situational Approach.

“Utterances carried meaning in themselves”, comprehensible


pronunciation, lots of encouragement. Translation is possible when
needed, linguistic variation.

Learner Role: negotiator, Techer Role: facilitator, participant,

Natural Approach

Is a method for beginners based on observation and interpretation on


how a person acquires his/her L1.

It rejects the formal organization of lge. It’s not based on grammar, is


based on communication.

There is an emphasis on expousure on input (pictures, realia…) the NA


is based on the principles o naturalistic lge. Learning in young children.

Suggestopedia

Specific set of learning recommendations derives from “Suggestlogy”.

It could be applied with music, musical rhythm to learning, power of


suggestion to help students eliminate the feeling that they cannot
succeed.

Communication takes place in the conscious and subconscious


learners. The emphasis of teaching is more on content. Evaluation is
done during the normal in-class performance.

Oral approach and situational teaching Involves accurate use of


vocabulary items and grammar rules in order to achieve a practical
mastery of the four basic skills.

CLL

Alternation, a message, lesson, class is presented first in the native


tongue and then again in the second language.

In CLL, a learnerpresents a message in L1 to the knower. The


message is translated into L2 by the knower. CLL interactions are
distinct and fundamental kinds:

- SS-ss / Learner-learner

- Ss-T / Learner- Knower

Silent way

Teachers should be silent as much as possible; errors are important


and necessary for learning.

Students need to develop their own criteria, language is not learned by


repeating after a model, student need to develop their own criteria.
