語言教學法 Teaching Methods (Part 2)

See part 1

I realized only 文法翻譯法 – The grammar-translation method (GTM) focuses on reading/writing. The rest of the teaching methods gives focus to oral (speaking/listening).

肢體反應教學法 – Total Physical Response (TPR)

Teacher tells student what to do. For example say “walk” and then start walking; say “run” and then start running.

暗示感應教學法 – Suggestopedia (STP)

Students are relaxed, sitting on a sofa, baroque music playing in the background and listens to the teacher.

默示教學法 The silent way (SW)

The teacher stays silent, using props to guide the students, and using things like color coded charts to hint students to self-correct when they make mistakes.

任務行教學法 – Task-based language teaching (TBLT)

“book a restaurant” as the task and students use whatever they know, at the end of the task the teacher explains.

自然教學法 – The natural approach (NA)

Uses language just right above the student’s level (i+1) and wait for students to start speaking when they feel ready.

語言教學法 Teaching Methods (Part 1)

Trying to use a few words to summarize the teaching method to make sure I “get” it. There are 10 of these, I’ll put down 5 for now.

Note: Don’t expect this to have textbook accuracy, it’s for me to prepare my Mandarin teaching certification 🙂

直接教學法 – The direct method (DM)

Use the target language to teach, no translations, just like how you’d teach a child in their native tongue.

Focus: speaking/listening

文法翻譯法 – The grammar-translation method (GTM)

Like the boring English classes I had at school. Translates to native language.

Focus: reading/writing (vocabulary and grammar)

情境教學法 – Situational Language Teaching (SLT)

Promotes structural syllabus (課程進度表), have stuff like how to book a restaurant, a scenario for students to practice.

Focus: speaking/listening

聽說教學法 – The audiolingual method (ALM)

More guidance than the direct method, gives a structure, uses drills and repetition to form habits.

Focus: speaking/listening

團體語言學習法 – Community Language Learning (CLL)

Students sit in a circle express what they want to learn, the teacher assists like a counselor. Can use native language. I’ve never seen this done in my life before.
