 Early applied linguists
 Henry Sweet (1845-1912)
 Otto Jespersen (1860-1943)
 Harold Palmer (1877-1949)
 elaborated principles and theoretically accountable
approaches to the design of language teaching
programs, courses, and materials.
 The difference between a philosophy of
language teaching at the level of theory and
principles, and a set of derived procedures for
teaching a language, is central.
 EdwardAnthony in 1963
 identified three levels of conceptualization and
organization, which he termed approach, method,
and technique.
 Approach
 a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the
nature of language teaching and learning.
 axiomatic
 describes the nature of the subject matter to be
taught
 Method
 an overall plan for the orderly presentation of
language material based on the selected
approach.
within one approach, there can be many methods
 Technique
 implementational – that which actually takes
place in a classroom
 a particular trick, strategem, or contrivance used
to accomplish an immediate objective.
 must be consistent with a method, and therefore
in harmony with an approach as well.
(Anthony, 1963: 63-67)
 Serves as a useful way of distinguishing
between different degrees of abstraction and
specificity found in different language
teaching proposals.
 Fails to establish concrete concept of method
and technique
 Approach refers to theories and principles of
language and language learning
 Design as Method
 Objectives, syllabus, and content are determined
 Teacher/Student roles, and instructional materials
are specified
 Procedure asTechnique
 The implementation phase of the design and
approach.
 Thus, a method is theoretically related to an
approach, is organizationally determined by a
design, and is practically realized in procedure
METHOD ISTREATED AS UN UMBRELLA CONCEPT
OFTHETHREE DIMENSIONS
METHOD
APPROACH DESIGN
 Refers to theories about the nature of
language and language learning that serve as
the source of practices and principles in
language teaching.
 Theory of language
 there are at least three different theoretical views
of language and the nature of language
proficiency inform current approaches and
methods in language teaching:
 structural view
 functional view
 interactional view
 Structural view
 the view that language is a system of structurally related
elements for the coding of meaning
 target of language learning is seen to be the mastery of
elements of this system, which are generally defined in
terms of phonological units (e.g., phonemes), grammatical
units (e.g., clauses, phrases, sentences), grammatical
operations (e.g., adding, shifting, joining or transforming
elements), and lexical items (e.g., function words and
structure words).
 Functional view
 the view that language is a vehicle for the expression
of functional meaning
 emphasizes the semantic and communicative
dimension rather than merely the grammatical
characteristics of language, and leads to a
specification and organization of language teaching
content by categories of meaning and function rather
than by elements of structure and grammar
EX: ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
 Interactional view
 sees language as a vehicle for the realization of
interpersonal relations and for the performance of
social transactions between individuals
 Language is seen as a tool for the creation and
maintenance of social relations
focus on the patterns of moves, acts, negotiation, and
interaction found in the conversations
Language teaching content may be specified and
organized by patterns of exchange and interaction or
may be left unspecified, to be shaped by the
inclinations of learners as interactors.
 Process-oriented theories
 build on learning processes, such as habit
formation, induction, inferencing, hypothesis
testing, and generalization.
 Condition-oriented theories
 emphasize the nature of the human and physical
context in which language learning takes place.
 an example of a learning theory on which a
method (the Natural Approach) has been
built (see Chapter 15).
 addresses both the process and the condition
dimensions of learning.
 at the level of process, Krashen distinguishes
between acquisition and learning.
 Acquisition refers to the natural assimilation of
language rules through using language for
communication.
 Learning refers to the formal study of language
rules and is a conscious process.
 In his writings on Counseling-Learning (1972),
focuses primarily on the conditions necessary
for successful learning.
 believes the atmosphere of the classroom is
a crucial factor
 his method seeks to ameliorate the feelings
of intimidation and insecurity that many
learners experience.
 A method that derives primarily from learning
theory rather from a theory of the nature of
language (Chapter 5)
 Asher’s learning theory
 addresses both the process and the condition aspects
of learning.
 based on the belief that child language learning is
based
▪ on motor activity
▪ should form the basis of adult foreign language teaching
 Built around a theory of the conditions
necessary for successful learning to be
realized.
 Learners’ needs to feel secure about learning
and to assume conscious control of learning
 Audiolingualism
 produced by the linking of structuralism (a
linguistic theory) to behaviorism ( a learning
theory)
 EX: MY FAIR LADY MOVIE
 Cognitive-code proponents (Chapter 4)
 have attempted to link a more sophisticated
model of structuralism to a more mentalistic and
less behavioristic brand of learning theory.
 less frequently used in process-based
methods, in which considerations of
language content are often secondary.
 The objectives of a method, whether defined
primarily in terms of product or process, are
attained through the instructional process,
through the organized and directed
interaction of teachers, learners, and
materials in the classroom.
 The design of an instructional system will be
considerably influenced by how learners are
regarded.
 A method reflects responses to questions
concerning the learners’ contribution to the
learning process.
 Learner roles (individualized approach)
 Learners plan their own learning program and thus
ultimately assume responsibility for what they do in
the classroom
 Learners monitor and evaluate their own progress
 Learners are members of a group and learn by
interacting with others
 Learners tutor other learners
 Learners learn from the teacher, from other students,
and from other teaching sources.
 Learner roles in an instructional system are
closely linked to the teacher’s status and
function.
 Teacher roles are similarly related ultimately
both to assumptions about language and
language learning at the level of approach.
 The types of functions teachers are expected
to fulfill;
 The degree of control the teacher has over
how learning takes place;
 The degree to which the teacher is
responsible for determining the content of
what is taught;
 The interactional patterns that develop
between teacher roles and their realizations
 What is specified with respect to objectives,
content, (i.e. the syllabus), learning activities,
and learner and teacher roles suggests the
function for materials within the system.
 Specify subject-matter content
 Define or imply the day-to-day learning
objectives that collectively constitute the
goals of the syllabus
 Will reflect decisions concerning
 The primary goal of materials
 The form of materials
 The relation of materials to other sources of input
 And the abilities of teachers
 encompasses the actual moment-to-
moment techniques, practices, and behaviors
that operate in teaching a language
according to a particular method.
 Tasks and activities are integrated into
lessons and used as the basis for teaching and
learning
 The use of teaching activities to present new
language and to clarify and demonstrate
formal, communicative, or other aspects of
the target language
 The ways in which particular teaching
activities are used for practicing language
 The procedures and techniques used in giving
feedback to learners concerning the form or
content of their utterances or sentences
 Any language teaching method can be
described in terms of the issues identified
here at the levels of approach, design, and
procedure.
