History of ELT

In this timeline you can see all the methods that have been used since 1880 until 1980. After these there are other methods but, they are a mix of the ones that already exist. These are: - Content-based Learning (Content-based Instruction or CBI, Content and Language Integrated Learning or CLIL) - Cooperative Language Learning (Collaborative Learning) - Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT, Task-based Instruction, Task-based Learning) - Project Work.

Direct Method

Through this method students are directly taught with target language without using native language.

1800-01-01 00:00:00

Grammar Translation Method

The grammar–translation method is a method of teaching foreign languages derived from the classical (sometimes called traditional) method of teaching Greek and Latin. In grammar–translation classes, students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by translating sentences between the target language and the native language.

Natural Approach I

A term for a number of language-teaching methods which were developed in the nineteenth century as a reaction to the Grammar Translation Method. These methods emphasized: a. the use of the spoken language b. the use of objects and actions in teaching the meanings of words and structures c. the need to make language teaching follow the natural principles of first language learning d. these methods lead to the Direct Method

Reading Method

In reading approach, students will improve their knowledge and get something new because they are demanded to read more.

1940-01-01 00:00:00

Audiolingual Method

The Audio-Lingual method of teaching had its origins during World War II when it became known as the Army Method. It is also called the Aural oral approach. It is based on the structural view of language and the behaviorist theory of language learning.

1940-01-01 00:00:00

Oral Approach (Situational Language Teaching)

Situational Language Teaching is a grammar-based method in which principles of grammatical and lexical gradation are used and new teaching points presented and practised through situations.

1960-01-01 00:00:00

Cognitive Approach

The cognitive approach in psychology is a relatively modern approach to human behaviour that focuses on how we think. It assumes that our thought processes affect the way in which we behave.

1963-01-01 00:00:00

The Silent Way

The silent way is a methodology of teaching language based on the idea that teachers should be as silent as possible during a class but learners should be encouraged to speak as much as possible. There are three basic principles: - The learner needs to discover or create - Learning is made easier by the use of physical objects such as Cuisenaire rods - Learning is made easier by problem-solving using the target language

1965-01-01 00:00:00

Total Physical Response (TPR)

In TPR items are presented in the foreign language as orders, commands, and instructions requiring a physical response from the learner.

1970-01-01 00:00:00

Suggestopaedia ( Lozanov Method)

A method of foreign language teaching developed by the Bulgarian educator, Lozanov. It makes use of dialogues, situations, and translation to present and practise language, and in particular, makes use of music, visual images, and relaxation exercises to make learning more comfortable and effective. Suggestopaedia is said to be a pedagogical application of “ Suggestology”, the influence of suggestion on human behaviour.

1975-01-01 00:00:00

Natural Approach (Natural Method) II

Language teaching approach which claims that language learning is a reproduction of the way humans naturally acquire their native language.

1980-01-01 00:00:00

Communicative Approach (Communicative Language Teaching)

The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.
