This unit focuses on the methodologies of teaching. It gives us the overview of different theories around teaching methodologies. The methodologies that are currently used in the TEFL system are the culmination of the best methods. The current methodology which is the Engage-Study-Activate method takes into account all of the good methods. The method employed in a class should take into consideration the cultural background and needs of the students, it should also take into consideration the levels of the students. It is therefore important to engage the students before direct studying of the language structure. Engaging the students involves fun games and interesting ways of introducing the lessons. This unit brings in the knowledge of applying fun techniques into learning the language. This unit prepares the teacher to be able to conduct useful debate sessions and techniques in promoting fluency of the language. This unit also shapes the teacher to be a person who is able to motivate and encourage students through positive feedback. The methods applied will enable students to engage with the language both in speaking and writing.
