The following is an overview of what I learnt from this unit. I have learnt different approaches and methods in language teaching, how and when to apply them. The following are some of the methods and approaches; The Direct Method where teaching is done entirely in the target language. The learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue. Grammar rules are avoided and there is emphasis on good pronunciation. Grammar-translation where Learning is largely by translation to and from the target language. Grammar rules are to be memorized and long lists of vocabulary learned by heart. There is little or no emphasis placed on developing oral ability. Audio-lingual where learning a language means acquiring habits. There is much practice of dialogues of every situations. New language is first heard and extensively drilled before being seen in its written form The structural approach. This method sees language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be learned one at a time in a set order. So for example the verb \"to be\" is introduced and practiced before the present continuous tense which uses \"to be\" as an auxiliary. Suggestopedia. In this method, a language can be acquired only when the learner is receptive and has no mental blocks. I have also learnt that there are some methods that are not applied in all levels of English learning. Students at a higher level already posses some English skills.
