    The document discusses the eclectic approach to language teaching. It begins with background on how eclecticism emerged as a compromise method that draws techniques from various language teaching approaches. The basic principles of eclecticism involve teachers selecting activities and methodologies based on learners and lesson aims. Roles involve students taking an active role in learning while teachers guide students and provide feedback. Implications are that eclecticism allows teachers flexibility in their choices. Strengths include consideration of multiple perspectives while weaknesses can include confusion if not properly blended. An example activity combines elements from different methods.

    1. Background

    Sofea

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    Brief Background
    Started in the early 1990s as a reaction to the profusion of
    teaching methods in the 80s & 70s
    A Compromise Method as a solution to the language
    teaching method debate

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    Larsen- Freeman (2000) & Mellow (2000) used the term


    principled eclecticism to describe a desirable &
    coherent approach to language teaching.
    Involves the use of a variety of language learning activities

    Why use eclecticism?

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    Why use E.A.?


    Because there are strengths and weaknesses of single
    theory based methods.

    Reliance upon a single theory of teaching has


    been criticized because the use of a limited number of
    teaching techniques.
    Thus, students cannot get benefits of learning.

    2. Basic Principles

    Sofea

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    Basically, E.A. is
    Use of techniques and activities from a range of language teaching
    approaches and methodologies.
    The teacher decides what methodology or approach to use depending
    on the aims of the lesson and the learners in the group.

    provides a third option for teachers because it fuses elements

    from traditional and cognitive methods to deliver on the


    strengths of both.

    Learners Role
    Learners are the center of the class.
    They are active participants of the activity, explorer of the
    language, negotiator and evaluator of the learning process.
    Their needs and interests influence the course.
    The learner is the source of the input and part of a support system.

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    11

    Learners Role
    Students help each other in solving problems rather than
    depending wholly on the teacher.
    Group discussion in solving the problems can encourage

    independence.
    Learners take initiative in the classroom.

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    12

    Teachers Role
    The teacher is the guide of the learning process.
    The role of guide also lies in giving advice for learning strategies.
    During the communicative activities, the teacher is both the

    organizer and the resource.


    When the activity is finished, the teacher gives appropriate
    feedback which focuses on the content of the activity.

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    13

    Teachers Role
    Communication of meaning is primary. When the use of English
    is discussed, emphasis should be laid on the appropriateness of

    language instead of grammatical mistakes.


    Additionally, it is also important for the teacher to create a warm

    atmosphere in classroom so that a positive attitude on learning is


    easy to develop.

    Implications To English Language


    T&L
    The teacher can decide what methodology
    or approach to use depending on:
    Level, students interests, lesson aim,
    learning styles.
    Variety of activities in classroom
    the teacher have many choices to use
    all the principles of language teaching

    5. Strengths &
    Weaknesses

    STRENGTHS
    Doesnot restrict ideas to
    onlyone perspective.
    (allowsnewideas to be
    generated)

    Learning process become


    exciting to learners as this
    approach is broad and may
    include every kind oflearning
    activity.
    (they always like something new
    and exciting. )

    Providesa fullerunderstanding
    of behaviour
    (it considers all relevant factors
    and how they might combine)

    Keep a balance of accuracy and


    fluency in English.
    (An eclectic approach based on
    the structural, functional
    notional and communicative
    approaches to language
    teaching)

    Weaknesess
    it is difficult to combine the
    different approaches to make
    (without grabbing to one
    one new theory as the they
    approach, curriculum choices and
    are very different from each
    overall directions can be
    confusing)
    other
    May lead to confusion.

    Example of Eclectic
    Approach Activity in the
    Classroom
    The class starts with an inductive activity where learners are
    asked to list out several adverbs that they can find in a
    reading/listening text.
    The teacher lists the adverbs and does the drilling (audiolingual method).

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    21

    Example of Eclectic
    Approach Activity in the
    Classroom
    The teacher assigns the pupils to work in pair (task-based
    learning) to complete a task; information gap to complete a
    sentence with the correct adverbs (communicative approach
    and lexical approach).

    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    22

    Example of Eclectic
    Approach Activity in the
    Classroom
    Examples of adverbs: gracefully, beautifully, soundly, safely, loudly,
    lovely
    Information gap:
    Pupil A has the adverbs gracefully and soundly. Pupil A tells
    Pupil B about the adverbs he/she has.
    Pupil B needs to make a sentence respectively using the correct
    verbs to suit the adverbs. Pupil A will write Pupil Bs answers and
    check the answers.
    E.g. The girl dances gracefully.

    Conclusion
    ELT METHODOLOGY (TSL3033) TUTORIAL PRESENTATION

    24

    Billah, M. (2015)
    The kind of eclecticism we tried to implement here is a
    mixture of traditional reading based approach and some
    conversational practice for students. Language is based on
    structures which are used to convey meanings, which
    perform functions. We see language learning as combined
    process of structural and communicative activities.

    Mutawa & Kailan (1989 : 27)


    The frequent shift of methodology have mode teachers feel that
    it is better to have a combination of elements from all of the
    teaching methods. The eclectic method is, therefore involving
    procedures and techniques drawn from various methods.
    Teachers need techniques, that work in their particular
    situation with specific objectives that are meaningful for the
    kind of students they have in their classes.

    Crystal (1985 : 104)


    teachers can use other concepts and procedures, deriving
    from other theories and methods. Thus, experienced
    teachers are very sensitive to limitation of different methods,
    so they reject the weak points of each approach and
    retain only those aspects that are applicable in the particular
    learning situation in which they find themselves
