The Direct Method.
The direct method of teaching English is also known as the Natural Method. It is used to teach a number of different languages not just English, and the main idea of the Direct Method is that it only uses the target language that the students are trying to learn.
Its main focus is oral skill and it is taught through repetitive drilling. Grammar is taught using an inductive way and students need to try and guess the rules through the teacher's oral presentation.
Communicative Language Teaching.
The idea behind this approach is to help learners communicate more effectively and correctly in realistic situations that they may find themselves in. This type of
teaching includes focusing on important functions like suggesting, thanking, inviting, complaining, and asking for directions to name but a few.
Community Language Learning.
This is probably one of the English teaching methods where the student feels the safest as there's a great emphasis on the relationship and bond between the student and teacher. Unlike a lot of the other methods and approaches of teaching English as a Second language, a lot of the L1 ( mother tongue ) is used for translation purposes.
The Grammar Translation Method.
Just like its name suggests, this method of teaching English heavy and relies a lot on translation. This is the traditional or 'classical' way of learning a language and it's still commonly used when learning some languages. Some countries prefer this style of teaching and the main idea behind this method is that the students learn all grammar rules, so they're able to gtranslate a number of sentences. This is particularly common for those students who wish to study literature at a deeper level.
The based Language learning.
The main aim of this approach to learning is task completion. Usually, relevant an interesting tasks are set by the teacher and students are expected to draw on their pre-existing knowledge of English to complete the task with as few errors as possible.
The Lexical Approach
The Lexical syllabus or approach is based on computer studies that have previously identified the most commonly used words. This approach in teaching focuses on vocabulary acquisition and teaching lexical chunks in order of their frequency and use. Teachers of the Lexical Approach place a great emphasis on authentic materials and realistic scenarios for more valuable learning.
