In Unit 3 I've learned the following:
Methodologies-
*Grammar- translation - Learning about language through finding equivalents in the students own language
*Audio - Lingualism - Learning is as a result of habit formation through conditioning. Not used often nowadays.
*Presentation Practice - Teacher presents language and demonstrates meaning and form of the new language. Effective for lower levels.
*Tasked based learning - Focuses more on the task.
*Communicative Language Teaching - Stresses importance of language functions - agreeing, inviting and suggesting.
*Community Language - Students sit in circle and decide what they want to talk about.
*The silent way - Teacher says as little as possible. Students discover the language themselves.
*Suggestopaedia - Focuses on the need for the students to be comfortable and relaxed.
