Approaches

Surely, teaching is a career because it is supported on a theoretical base which is, undoubtly, the fruit of many years of research. These years of experience have helped compile a great deal of valuable information regarding the ways of teaching a language. In some way, it can be said that the Grammar Translation Method, Direct Method, Oral Approach and Situational Language Teaching, Audiolingual Method, Total Physical Response, The Silent Way, Community Language Teaching, Natural Approach, Suggestopedia and the Communicative Language Teaching are the language teacher’s theoretical base. However, it must be recognized that each approach or method has its deficiency or better said they can complement each other for a more “effective” class.
