There are lots of theories, methods and techniques to learn English. First of all we learn a lot about grammar and translation in the state school sector. This section is basic though, students learn English rather than learn English itself. I think this is a main problem to other countries students who use English as second language. And about the Audio- lingualism. It is a theory based upon behaviourist theory of learning. It helps students would be conditioned into using the language correctly. The third one is PPP. Presentation, Practice and Production. It is believed that it is extremely effective in teaching simple language at lower level. But students are conditioned in control. So it is less effective to higher level students who already know a lot of English. The next is Task- Based Learning. In this section it is focused on tasks. Teacher just gives the tasks to students and they would get the marks and feedback. And CLT. Communicative Language Teaching. CLL, Community Language Learning. The silent way is the way of behavior of the teacher who speaks as little as possible. It makes students just discover by themselves. Suggestopaedia. It makes students feel relaxed and confidence just letting them given new names and traumatic themes are avoided. The other is The Lexical approach. Engage, Study and Activate. Engage-Study and Activate are elements which are present in a language classroom to help students to learn effectively Engage. This is the point in a teaching sequence where teachers try to arouse the students interest, thus involving their emotions. Most people can remember lessons at school which were uninvolving and where they ?switched off? from what was being taught them. Frequently, this was because they were bored, because they were not emotionally engaged with was going on. Such lessons can be contrasted with lessons where they were amused, moved, stimulated or challenged. It seems quite clear that those lessons involved not only more ?fun?, but also better learning. Study. Study activities are those where the students are asked to focus in on language (or information) and how it is constructed. They range from the study and practice of a single sound to an investigation of how a writer achieves a particular effect in a long text. Students can study in a variety of different styles: the teacher can explain grammar, they can study language evidence to discover grammar for themselves, they can work in groups studying a reading text or vocabulary. But whatever the style, study means any stage at which the construction of language is the main focus. Activate. This element describes exercises and activities which are designed to get the students using language as freely and communicatively as they can. The objective for the students is not to focus on language construction and/or practice specific bits of language(grammar patterns, particular vocabulary items or functions) but for them to use all and any language which may be appropriate for a given situation or topic
