TThis unit introduced the most common methods and techniques used in the language learning industry. While there is no one true approach that is the best, it was helpful to examine the strengths and weaknesses of these different approaches. It has made me especially critical of the way English is currently being taught at my school (almost entirely grammar-translation) and has given me a desire to improve the way I conduct my lessons. In addition, this unit also covered the Engage-Study-Active method. I found that I already implement this technique in my classes. For example, I always start my classes with a ?warm-up? activity or game. I found the list of potential engagement activities very useful and I am already planning to use one or more of these activities in the future. Finally, the last section of the unit was related to giving feedback to students. Recognizing the difference between a ?mistake? and an ?error? is so important. I fear that over-correct and I would like to provide my students with more opportunities for self-correction and peer-correction.
