My Own Teaching Method

My Own Teaching Method
1) You need to choose two methods from the ones we studied.

The Natural Approach
 The Natural Approach focuses on understanding foreign
language messages, and little or no attention is paid to error
correction, drilling, or conscious learning of grammatical
rules. They also emphasize learning a broad vocabulary
foundation rather than learning new grammatical structures.
The Lexical Approach
 The Lexical Approach is a method of analyzing and teaching
language based on the idea that language is a unit rather than
a grammatical structure. The units are words, chunks formed
by collocations, and fixed phrases.
2) Name your method.

The Lexical Approach to Natural Teaching.
3) Explain the reasons you chose those two methods, and the
characteristics of each.

 From my point of view, this method
is the most widely used because it

more satisfying.

 Also, this method allows the learner

4) Based on your approach you will make the methodological

decisions about:
 The mother tongue should not be

used in the classroom.
The aims of the course  Learning must be active.
 This method is for beginners.
 Students must dominate a large

amount of vocabulary of the

classroom and L2 will always be
the one that is being learned.
What to teach  Students should reflect and practice

using new knowledge and skills.
 The students will be available to
