ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES END METHODS

ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES AND METHODS

This work developed by undergraduate students in English language courses at UFAC University. This work was proposed by professor José mauro.

The new concepcion about language teaching

• In the period from the 1970s through the 1980s , growing the interest about the communication approches in the language teaching and the teachers thought in language as compount communicative for/ in classroom;

How is bulding these methods?

• Rather than starting from a teory of language and developed on reserch and teory in appliede linguistics, these methods are drawing on reserch and theories of learners and learning, sometimes the theories of a single theorizer or educator;

what methods and approaches will we address in this work?

• TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

• THE SILENT WAY

• COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING

• SUGGESTOPEDIA

TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

This method is based on the coordination of speech and action, that is, by teaching the language through physical activities, having been developed by James Asher professor of psychology at the State University of San José, California.

• Its objective is to associate language with physical activity and thus the comprehension of the language is developed before the speech from then on, when students are ready, they start to speak spontaneously.

• The tutor is the one who selects what to work with the students, being the exact person to use the vocal expression with a correct pronunciation of Which action is created spontaneously and whose mother tongue is rarely used.

• Teach direct commands. This is the simplest example of the Total physical response, commands such as standing up, sitting and walking to the door can be used in most classrooms and by groups of any age. regardless of fitness.

THE SILENT WAY

This method of language teaching was devised by Caleb Gattegno inspired for your experience as a educational designer of reading and mathematics programs; This method is based on the premise that the teacher should be silent as much as possible in the classroom but the learner should be encouraged to produce as much language possible.

the Silent way

• APPROUCH: By looking at the material chosen and teh sequence in which it as preseted in a SW classroom, it is clear that the SW takes a structural approch to the organization of language to be taught. The sentence is the basic unit of teaching.

• DESIGN: The SW adopts a basically strutural syllabus, with lessons planned aroud grammatical items and related vocabulary.

• PROCEDURE: basically the rods and the color-coded pronunciation charts, sounds;

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING

• Method developed by Charles A. Curran 

• Community language learning represents the use of couseling- learning theory to teach language.

• Communication is more than just a message being transmitted from a speaker to a listener.

• Learner Roles and the teacher's role.

• CLL combines innovative learning tasks and activities with conventional one.

Include:

• Translation

• Group work

• Recording

• Analysis

• Reflection and observation

• Listening

• Free conversation

SUSGGESTOPEDIA

Suggestopedia:

• Specific set of learning recommendations from Sugestology.

• Characteristics: Decoration, the furniture and layout of the classroom, the use of music and the authoritarian behavior of the teacher in the classroom.

• Characteristics: Decoration, the furniture and layout of the classroom, the use of music and the authoritarian behavior of the teacher in the classroom.

The conclusion about alternative approches and methods

Multiple Select

Esses métodos e abordagens surgem como um questionamento aos valores de ensino dos métodos tradicionais. E têm como discussão um movimento comunicativo no ensino de línguas. Surgindo principalmente nos períodos de 1970 á 1980, com postulados diversos , esses metódos e abordagens de ensino, tinham a característica de não seguir os estudos e a literatura sobre o ensino de línguas e não seguir pesquisa relacionada a linguística aplicada.

Embora muitos não tenham sido popularizados a importância de se estudar estes métodos é crucial. Por quais motivos podemos dizer sobre isso?

• A importância histórica;

• As novas percepções de ensino de línguas;
