classroom activities, tasks and moment-to-moment process of
teaching, the role of the learner and the teacher. A method includes three
_compDnent&:—
• Approach
• Design
• Procedure.
Approach, is concerned: with the theory pf the nature of language and
language learning. For instance, in language teaching practices two
important theories of language learning have been put forward. They are:
1. The behaviourist view of learning that views learning, both
verbal-and non-verbal, as habit-formation. Language is learnt
. through imitation and repetition. Such a theory is commonly
referred to as Stimulus-Response Theory or S-R TheoryT
2. The, cognitive view of learning holds that language learning
does not take place solely through imitation and repetition.
Humans have an internaliinborn faculty that helps them discover
the .underlying pattern of the language they hear, form their
own hypotheses and construct sentences which are new and
novel at times^

A review of some methods in English Language Teaching


English is today the world's most widely studied foreign/second language.
However, some five hundred years back, it was Latin that dominated
education, commerce, religion, and government in the Western world.
Thgjgolitical changes in Europe, in the sixteenth century made French,
English^an^t al hm the most important languages and Latin losTTts
jugnificanceas a language of spoISe5~and wffifencom^^ . ThougfT
the status of Latin diminished from 'that of a living "language to that of an
"occasional" subject in the school curriculum', it (especially the classical
Latin the language of great writers like, Virgil, Ovid, Cicero, etc.) assumed
a different but very important function: an analysis of its grammar became
a model for foreign language study till the nineteenth century. In England,
'grammar schools' gave children rigorous training in grammar rules,

conjugations, declensions, translation, writing parallel bilingual texts and
dialogues: Latin was believed to develop intellectual abilities and a study
of its grammar therefore became a 'mental gymnastic'. By the nineteenth
century, Latin grammar had become a model for any foreign language-
teaching course in which all grammatical rules were listed and explained
through sample sentences translated,into the mother tongue of the learner-
Thus, any foreign language-teaching programme would concentrate on
the rules Of grammar derived from Latin and apply them to the language
in questions without any relation to the language of real communication.
This approach to language teaching later on came'to be known as the
Grammar-Translation Method or GT-Method.

Grammar-Translation Method

History ,

W hen did Grammar-Translation Method (GT-Method) start? This


question will never be answered with certainly because there is
no historical-evidence' available that could point to any specific date. All
we know today is that translation-has occurred in the foreign language
instruction through ages. However, it, was in the late eighteenth century
that the technique of teaching' grammatical rules: with translation in the
foreign language became popular. The main exponents of Grammar-
Translation Method were the German scholars like iSeidenstucKer, Vloetz
Ollendorf ancfMeidinger who in tneir language courses, or 'lessons', right
from 1783 to 1849, combined rules, vocabulary, text, and sentences to be
translated as the typical patterh of the granunar-trahslation method. This
is why, it is believed that the GT-Method was the offspring of German
scholarship which, as some criidc pointed out, aimed at knowing everything
about something without knowing the thing itself. In the United States of
America this method was known as the Prussian Method.

Objectives
The chief objectives of the Grammar-Translation Method have been
summarized by Richards and Rodgers (2001: 5-6) as under:
1. The goal of foreign language study is to learn a language in
order to read its literature or in order to benefit from the mental
discipline and intellectual development that result from foreign
language study. Grammar Translation is a way of studying a
language that approaches the language first through detailed
analysis of its grammar rules, followed by application of this
knowledge to the task of translating sentences and texts into
and out of the target language. It hence views language learning

as consisting of little more than memorising rules and facts in
order to understand and manipulate the morphology and syntax
of the foreign language...
2. Reading and writing are the major focus; little or no systematic
attention is paid to speaking or listening.
3. Vocabulary selection is based solely on the reading texts used, ,
and; words are taught through bilingual word lists dictionary
study, and memorisation; In atypical Grammar-Translation text,
the grammar rules are presented and illustrated, a list of
vocabulary items is presented with their translation equivalents,
and translation exercises are prescribed. -

r that is a distinctive feature'of the method...
5. Accuracy is emphasised. Students are expected to attain high
standards in translation...
6. Grammar is taught deductively—that is, by presentation and
study of grammar rules, which are then'practiced through
translation exercises...
7. The student's native language is the, .medium of instruction. It
is used to explain new items and,to enable comparisons to be
made between the'foreign, language and the student's native
language.
A reading passage in a typical Grammar-Translation 'lesson' is normally
followed by these? exercises:
1. Comprehension questions based on the passage.
2. Antonyms/synonyms
3. Cognates: spelling and sound patterns that?correspond in the
target language and the mother tongue [L, ] of the learner.
4. Grammar exercises with examples.
5. Fill-in-the-blank exercises involving prepositions, verbs, etc.
6. Using words in sentences (mostly insolated or de-
contextualised).
7. Memorisation exercises; students get words with equivalents
from L, for memorisation.

8. Composition: on a given topic.
9. Summarising/precis: of a given passage.

Theoretical assumptions
A foreign language is primarily considered as a system of rules to be
observed in written,texts and to be related, to the first-language rules and
meanings. Language is thereforesandntellectual exercise-that involves
learning of the rules of grammar,: memorizing them and relating them to
thefirstlanguage through a massive translation practice. The first language
is the basis for the acquisition of the second language.

^ Q Critical evaluation
—' Grammar-Translation Method dominated European and foreign language
teaching for'over a century -/1840s to 1940s - and is still present in one
form or the other in many parts of the world. However, with increased
opportunities for communication among Europeans, in the mid-nineteenth
century, that demanded an oral proficiency in a foreign language,
Grammar-Translation was questioned and rejected as an? ineffective '
method of teaching a foreign language. Its overemphasis on the language
as a mass of,unusable rules and vocabulary tp be memorised and translated
perfectly especially, through literary texts was frustrating for many
.teachers. The' shser size of the rules to-be posited in one's memory was
frightening for learners. Morepver, .the method is book-oriented, giving
no opportunity to the learner to speak, or listen to the second language.
The method has no theoretical basis n o rationale nr jmfifirptinn for
taxing the memory of a learner with grammar rules that he hardly used in ..
his lifetime. lathis regard, the following observation from Clark (1987:11)
is worth mentioning:
Experience has shown that despite the linguistic competence built
up by high achievers in grammar-translation courses, the expected
by-product-a communicative ability-has not materialized. Learners
... are often rather poor at conducting normal interpersonal
conversation or correspondence, and at conducting the business of
everyday life, until they have spent some time among the speakers
of the foreign language.
The method cannot claim to offer any principles that are linguistically,
psychologically and educationally valid and sound. The major defect with

5-D-21 Hudco Qtrs., Wear R.S.V. School, J.N.V. Colony , BKN
this method has been its emphasis on translating all texts and sentences
into the learner's mother tongue as a result of which she/he never got free
from the dominance of the latter. In spite of the strong criticism against
this method, it has had a strong following among teachers and learners
across the globe. Stern in his book, Fundamental Concepts of Language
Teaching (1983) rightly points out that 'the first language as a reference
system is indeed important for the.second language learner. Therefore •
translation in one form or the other crosslingual techniques- can play a
certain part in language learning. Moreover, some learners endeavour to
understand the grammatical system of the second language. Hence
grammar teaching too, may have some importance for them. Furthermore,
thinking about formal ,features of the second language and translation as
a technique, put the learner into an active problem-solving situation.'
In our schools and other teaching situations, teachers still resort to
translation technique as an eas'y way of explaining the different
grammatical points when they feel that the-target language (English, in
our case) failed to achieve the desired results! But, the degree of its use,
varies from situation to situation: In Government schools* the use of mother
tongue is more frequent than in-the so-called English-medium schools.
. Theoretically, all efforts are made; to use the target language-in "the
classroom and outside it; practically, however, the "use of mother tongue
(or, a local second language forinstance, Urdu in Kashmir) occupies an
important and significant place in our educational system.

^ Practical application
In order to fully understand how Grammar-Translation Method works in
the class, let us try to understand it by following the steps that the teacher
has to take.
Step 1: The teacher chooses a reading passage from the English textbook
and asks each student to read a few line from it an translate them into his
mother tongue (Lj). The teacher helps him with new vocabulary items.
Step 2: When they have finished reading and translating the passage, the
teacher asks them in LI if they have any questions. The teacher answers
the questions in Lj of the learner. This activity goes on till the teacher
feels that all the questions have been asked.
Step 3: The teacher asks the students to write answers to the questions
given at the end of the passage.

Step 4: After one-half hour, the teacher speaking in L t asks the students
to check their, answers. One by one the students read their questions-and
answers. If the answer is correct, the teacher nods. If the answer is
incorrect, the teacher supplies the correct answer.
Step 5: Announcing the next activity,*the teacher asks the students to look
at'the words listed and translate them into their L r If the students do not
know their Lj equivalents, the teacher gives them. The teacher adopts the
same method with synonyms antonyms, etc! The teacher tells them that
words from Lj and English that look the: same are called-- cognates'. He
asks them to find out other cognates from the passage;
Step 6: The teacher works through the grammar:exercises. They are.given
the rule for each exercise and at the same time asked to translate the
sentences into their Lj The students do all the exercises, fill in the blanks,
etc.
Step 7: The teacher asks the students to translate the-whole passage into
their mother tongue and memorise vocabulary items They are also asked
to'wrlte sentences for each vocabulary item.
Step 8: Students are asked to write a composition based on the passage.

The Direct Method


"Irelilfti liJC;. liSS, .iS'ffl' .SffiiO?'

History.

I n the midland' late-nineteenth century, Europe experienced a wave


of increasing opportunities of communication, due to industrialisation
and international tirade and travel'. A need was felt to develop oral
proficiency in foreign languages. Language teachers had already found.
Grammar-Translation: Method inadequate and ineffective in developing
'communicative ability! in learners. They (often referred to as;'reformists')
strongly advocated an altemativfrmethodiirwRtcRlangTrage was piesenled
in contexts and the mother tongue (L,) was avoided. They opined that a
foreign language could be taught without translation and without the use
of the learner's mother tongue provided meanings are conveyed through .
action and demonstration. Its principal advocates were, among others,
Pendergast (1860-1866) and Sauveur (1826-1907) who proposed what
they called the Natural Method (also known as Psychological Method/
Reform. Method/Phonetical Method/Phonic Method/Antigrammatical
Method) that siif pested a.tariir.al change from Grammar-Translation. It is
this method, thatiater.i3n.game to be known as the Direct Method.
As mentioned above, the impetus to the Direct Method came from
the need to teach foreign languages to facilitate trade,-commerce, travel,
etc; between the. European countries; Moreover, the developments in
linguistic scholarship, introduction of phonetics in language pedagogy
and an emphasis on the use of spoken language contributed a lot to the
development of the Direct Method. France and Germany adopted this
method officially and in the OS A it was widely known through its use by
Sauveur and Maximilian Berlitz (it was also named Berlitz Method).

Objectives
The Direct Method represents a radical change from literary language to .
the day-to-day spoken language as the object of language teaching and
learning. Its salient features are:
• The use of every day vocabulary and structures. Grammar is
taught inductively.
• Oral skills are developed through carefully graded programmes
involving question-answer sessions, interaction between the
teacher and the learners and intensive classroom drills.
« Second language learning must be an imitation of first language
learning, as this is the natural way humans leam any language
Ant Concrete meaningsaretaught through demonstration, pictures,
objects, etc Mid abstract meanings through association of ideas.
• Both oral arid'listening sldlls are taught.
• Good pronuriciatioh is aimed at-'and translation avoided at all
costs. **' -
• Printed word must be kept away from second language learner
for as long as possible.
• The written word/writing must be kept away form the learner
until after the printed word has been introduced.
The normal classroom,technique involves a usually short text which the
teacher presents in the classroom. The difficult words/phrases are
explained m the target language with the help of paraphrase,
demonstration, context, etc. The students derive the grammar rules on
their own. Exercises involve transposition, substitution, dictation, free
composition, etc. As mentioned above, since the method involves a lot of
spofe n language, good pronunciation is therefore stressed.

Theoretical assumptions
Language can be learnt only through demonstration. Instead of using
analytical procedures of explaining grammar rules, students must be
encouraged to use language naturally and spontaneously so that they induce
rules of grammar. The learning of second language was seen as parallel
to the acquisition of the child's first language and the processes involved
were interpreted in terms of an associationist psychology. Themethod_
• therefore emphasised the importanceof sounds and simple sentences and

direct association of language with objects and persons of immediate
environment-the_classroom, the home,.the garden, etc." ~~

Critical evaluation
The Direct Method became popular in private schools, especially those
run by Berlitz. However, in public schools'it became very difficult to
implement the method as it demanded a very high proficiency in spoken
language, from the teacher - a native-like fluency in non-native teachers
and, where possible, the presence of a native-speaking teacher. . Since
finding a nativea'speaking teacher was rather a difficult task and it was
difficult to find proficient teachers, adherence to the method proved
counterproductive. Further difficulties were discerned at the procedure
or technique level where the teachers had to struggle hard to explain a
particular word in the target language when a simple translation of it, in
the mother tongue of the leaner, would make the task very easy.
Major fall acy of the Direct Method wa'sits belief that second'language
should be learned in way in which first language was acquired. But,
obviously that could not be done as there was far less time and opportunity
available in schools than a child has acquiring his mother tongue. Can we
really apply first language learning processes to second/foreign language
learning? The answer is obviously 'No'. First language is acquired as the
child grows experiencing the world aroundhim and formulating pre-.verbal
concepts. ,. - .
Direct Methodists-failed to grade, and structure their materials. No
selection, grading or controlled presentation of vocabulary and structures
were carried out, which quite bewildered the pupils. ;
• By the 1920s, the Direct Method lostits significance and mddifications
were suggested, especially in the United States, that were later on published
as the Coleman Report. The report: suggested that no one; method xould
guarantee successful acquisition of a foreign language. Moreover, the
goal of teaching conversational skills was found difficult in view of the
limited time available for teaching a foreign language.
In Britain, Henry Sweet, a very popular applied linguist, recognised
the difficulties that the Direct Method posed for the teacher at the
methodology level, though at the procedure level it offered some
guidelines. He along with many other applies linguists of the. period
therefore felt the need to have a teaching programme that had sound

methodological basis and which presenter language systematically «Mhe
light of the proposals put forward by the Reform Movement earlier. The
result was the emergence of a British approach to the teaching of English
as a foreign language known as Oral approach or Situational Language
Teaching and the A m e r i c a n Audio-lingual Method, both based on a
structuralist view of language, language teaching and learning which will
be discussed below.
The Direct Method became very popular in out, schools as well. In
the 1970s and 1980s, most of the textbooks prepared at the then Central
Institute of English and Foreign Languages (CIBFL) now English and
Foreign Language University, Hyderabad and the National Council for
Educational Research and Training (NCERT) were based on the principles
of the Direct Method/They produced two types of textbooks in English,
general series and special series. The former were meant for the
Government schools where English was taught from Class VI and the
latter were written for students learnt English from Nursery or Class I.
However, as in other parts of the world, these-textbooks failed to bring in
any major change in the teaching, of English in our schools.
Practical application '
A typical Direct Method- lesson would becompleted.in the following
stages:
Step 1; The teacher places a big map of Harappa. in front of the class and
asks the student to open their, books at the page where the lesson is titled
'Harappa Civilization'. Each student reads a sentence from the passage
and the teacher points to the part of the map die sentence describes.
Step 2: The teacher asks students if there have been any difficult words/
expressions. If they have, the teacher tries to make them understand the
meaning of the word/expression by drawing it on the board or by pointing
to some immediate context. For instance, if somebody has not understood
the meaning of 'between', the teacher pointing to a person who is sitting
in between two other students, says: 'Ahmed is sitting between Mehmood
and Gulzar'.
Step 3: The teacher asks questions to check whether the students have
understood and learnt the passage. Students are also encouraged to ask
questions one at a time.

Structural-Situational Method/Approach

History

T he genesis of Structural-Situational Method,(also called Situational


Language Teaching or the Oral approach) can be traced back to the
developments that took place in the twocSntmmts-Europe and the United
States of America in 1920s and 1930s. In Euroge, tfie two significant
i J ^ r i R s h applied iingaists - T l a r t l ^ a t S ^ C T g X S Hornby - both of whom
were familiar with'tile worK of Daniel J dhe^"BTe1Smouiphonetician from
the University of London, and a Swiss linguist, Otto Jespersen, attempted
to develop a more scientificabproach to teaching ofeEriglish than was ,

examined theroleof English in India, as an Inspectorof Schools in Bengal,
in 1920. Both these reports had emphasized vocabulary control as one of
the principles of teaching English as a foreign; language. In this regard,
Michael West's book A General Service List of English Words (1953)
became seminal in: choosing vocabulary content of a language course and
establishing the basis for syllabus design in language teaching. It was
found (on frequency count) that knowledge of a core of two thousand
words could facilitate reading in a foreign language. -That is why this
approach is sometimes referred to as the Reading Method.
If the British applied linguists were attempting to develop a procedure
of presenting language items in a systematic way in the classroom, the
American linguists were using either a modified form of the Direct Method

(especially after the recommendationsof (he Coleman Report) or a reading-


based approach somewhat similar to West's method at the same period of
time. However, neither of them was familiar with each other's progress.
The entry of the United States in World War II changed the scenario and
the US government launched a massive programme of training its army
personnel in enemy languages in as short period of time as possible. So,
the American universities-were commissioned to develop foreign language

not exist and the researchers would work with an 'informant' - a native

J Critical evaluation
Structural-Situational approach is an oral approach like the DirectMethod
_in which stress is laid nn spoken language. New words or structures are
taught through classroom situations or through demonstration of a
particular object. The approach follows set procedures of vocabulary
selection which the learner is supposed to memorise as a service list for
, using language inhis dav-todav communication. A typicaT lesson in
Structural-Situational approach is completed in three phases: _
a. Presentation: introduction of new vocabulary/grammatical
items in contexts, / - j b i
Etactieef-oral but controlleajpractice of the items.
c. . JPxodHJ^on^f^ learnt in phase
(b).
The approach essentially follows a grammatical syllabus that aims to
develop a learner's competence.in the use of structures in the target
language. What was new .about this approachthat made it moire viable
was its emphasis on the use of language in context and situations that
were provided by the immediateenvironntentoftheT^
Concrete linguistic items were taught through demonstration and abstract
i^eas through association. So, a teacher's job would be to carry whatever
[bjects he needed to make the lesson interesting. A bagful of the different
objects would form an, essential tool for the teacher to teach new linguistic
items.
The term 'situation' or 'situational' was an interestingiinnovation in
Structural-Situational'approach. It did not refer to the use of language in
real-life situations but Jathe structural clrills in which concrete objects,
pictures and^reat^aj^SSplnied by actions and gestures were used to
demonstrate themeanings. It was here that the approach evoked reactions
from teachers who had to carry a lot of things to the classroom. Moreover,
they could, perhaps, find it easy to demonstrate concrete objects but found
it difficult to make abstraction understood by the learner. Naturally, they
found the use of mother tongue a very easy way of bringing home the
meaning to the learner. Furthermore, the approach was found to be suitable
at the elementary-levels where a display of objects would prove helpful
but at the advana?cfstages, the demonstrations made the lesson look trivial.
For teaching prose, poetry , and composition, the approach was found
In^PfrAhv&feijuate andjneffective. Also, the very theory - behaviourism - on

which this approach based was called into question by the mentalists,
especially by_Noam Chomsky, who viewed language not as an
accumulation of habits but as a mental-construct the capacity of which
was inborn and' innate (6 all the members of a speech community. This
ushered in a new era in language study and the teaching of English could
not escape from the impact which resulted in the development of
alternative approaches, especially Communicative Language Teaching
(CLT) which will be discussed hpJowi /VT^y^ N / v 0 y y l y f - Z J ^
Structural-Situational approach as such did not become a part o f W
teaching programmes in schools. However, instances of using objects for
teaching linguistic items in the class and demonstrating the meaning of
words in classroom: situation have, not been unfamiliar techniques to our
teachers.

Practical application ,
The following lesson is from'AiS; Hornby's' The Teaching of Stnictural
Words and Sentence Patterns, Stages 3 and 4, (Oxford University Press,
1962:129). The teacher has started teaching 'adjectives'. He has already
used 'large' with a singular noun and is now using 'small* plus 'so' and
'such' with a plural/singular noun.

Communicative Method

History

C ommunicative'Method or methodology, unlike other methods,


discussed earlier, is interpreted differently by different experts. There
is a lot of controversy, among the teachers; about what exacdy we mean
by Communicative Method. The name emerged out of diverse principles
of language and language learning which form a basis for a wide Variety
of classroom procedures and techniques. These principles are commonly
discussed under one umbrella term, Communicative Language Teaching
or CLT (terms like notional functional and functional approach are also
used to denote the approach) '•
The origins of CLT can,be traced to" the "dissatisfaction that teachers
felt with the earlier approaches-to language teaching and learning-The
Direct Method," Structural-Situatiotval/etc. - because all of them focused
oh the product rather than the processes involved in learning a foreign
language. Noam Chorhsky, the prominent American linguist, in his classic
book Syntactic Structures (1957) criticised the linguistic theories based
on behavioral psychological principles for their failure to account for the
creativity and uniqueness of language that enabled the speaker to create
novel sentences which he might have never heard or used before However,
Chomsky, too, did not account for other characteristics of language - the
functional and communicative potential - which were a part of
communicative proficiency of the learner. Language is not structures alone
but it enables the. user to do things in social settings and contexts. In
Britain, scholars like Christopher Candlin and Henry Widdowson, taking
cue from the work of John Firth, MAK Halliday, Dell Hymes, John
Gumperz and Willaim Labov and the philosophical works of Jane Austin
and John Searle, advocated a functional approach to language learning
that gradually gained currency and came to be known as CLT.

i ' Another very important development that contributed to the
emergence of CLT was the fast changing educational scenario in Europe.
European nations had come under one European Common Market and
with the increasing interdependence of these nations there emerged the
need to teach the adults the major European languages, thus, laying the
foundation for a different approach to foreign language teaching.
The Council of Europe at Strasbourg, a regional organisatioh for
cultural and educational cooperation, constituted a committee of experts
whose job was to explore the possibility of developing a course that would
satisfy the linguistic needs of the adults in-member countries of the
European Common Markets The committee studied the needs of European
learners and proposed a language course, in 1972, which was based on
unit-credit system, a system in which leaming tasks are broken into units
or portions each of which corresponds to the needs of the learner. The
course, took a completely opposite ,view of language learning, from that
of earlier linguistic approaches. Here, the focus was on what the learner
needed to understand and express through th? target language and not on
the accumulation of grammatical items and structures. For this purpose,
two types of meanings were identified: notional categories such as time,
sequence, location, frequency, etc and'categories of communicative
function such as request, denial, permission, offer, etc. These categories
were later on documented, revised, expanded and published in the book
form titled Notional Syllabuses by pne of the experts in the Council of
Europe, DA Wilkins. This became pivotal in ushering in a new era in
language teaching and learning, in that not only were the new principles
rapidly accepted by British teachers but- also textbooks writers and
curriculum designers. The foundations of Communicative Language
Teaching or CLT were, thus, laid. Since then, many specialists (Henry
"Widdowson, Christopher Candlin, ChristopheffiBrumflt, Keith Johnson,
to name a'few) have suggested innovative techniques and procedures that
now form the core of this approach. Most of them see it as an approach
rather than a method.

Objective
Communicative Language Teaching does not look at language a set of
linguistic items for the learner to store them in his memory Rather, it aims
to develop communicative competence (this term will be explained below)
in the learners so that they become effective communicators in the target
Prepared by : J a l u r a m Motsara (Mob. tto. •. 94133882,80) (^Q)

language. The focus is now on meanings and functions rather than on the
form of the language. It is the learner and his learning that are more
important. Language is acquired rather than learnt consciously. The result
is a classroom where the teacher facilitates language acquisition through
problem-solving activities and tasks which ensure learner participation
and interaction. There is virtually no teaching because there is no fixed
textbook to be taught. The aim is to involve the learner in learning process
so that language develops automatically and spontaneously; All the four
language skills-listening, speaking reading and writing-receive equal
treatment.

Theoretical assumptions
Communicative Language Teaching or CLT considers language both as
communication and for communication. Hie goal of language teaching is
therefore to develop 'communicative competence'. This term was coined
by Dell Hymes, an American anthropologist, to provide 'a contrast with
Chomsky's theory of competence that characterizes a native speaker's
capacity to produce grammatically correct sentences. Hymes maintained
that a native speaker did not only possess the knowledge of the language
but also the ability to use: that knowledge for communicating in the society
in which he lived. So, the aim ^language teaching should be to develop
communicative competence, ie, the ability to use language effectively
and appropriately in social contexts and situations.
A British applied; linguist, MAK Halliday, complemented. Hymes'
communicative competence theory by identifying seven basic functions
that language performs for children learning their mother tongue or L^
1. the instrumental function; using language to get things
2. the regulatory function: using language to control the behaviour
of others
3. the interactional function: to create interaction with others
4. the personal function: using language to express personal
feelings and meanings
5. the heuristic function: using language to learn and to discover
6. the imaginative function: using language to create a world of
the imagination
7. the representational function: using language to communicate
information.

It is, thus, evident that language is not just grammar and structures. It is
much more than that. Learning a foreign language involves acquiring the
linguistic means to express different functions (and notions). CLT is
eclectic in nature, as it has benefited from research in psychology,
anthropology, philosophy, education, linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics^etc.
The learner in CLT is not a passive recipientof.knowledge from.the
knowledgeable. He is an active participant in the classroom, as the ultimate
responsibility of solving the communicative problem^ lies with the learner.
Acquisition can take place easily and effectively once the tasks are
designed in such a way that they actively involve the learner in using the
language spontaneously. He may fumble at times, but he should be.
encouraged to communicate in order to gain self-confidence; Linguistic
errors which could be tolerated in any structural approach are here tolerated
in order to help the learner develop in language skills.

Critical Evaluation
Communicative Language Teaching or CLT, as mentioned above, is
:basically an eclectic approach to foreign language learning. The normal
classroom activities involve pair/group/work/language games, role-plays,
simulations, question-answer sessions related to the students' personal
experiences. Learning is not confined to any set textbook. Materials could
include newspapers, magazines, graphics, visuals; filmstrips, wall charts,
etc. What is significant about this method is its strong focus on the learner
and the uses for which the learner acquires the target language. The
classroom is therefore a hub of activities th.at centre round the learner for
it is he who acts as a negotiator. with his self, the learning process iand the
object of learning. He shares the responsibility with others and behaves
as a normal human being. The lessons arc mostly task-based and problem-
solving solution to which come through discussion, negotiation and active
participation of the learners.
But all is not rosy in CLT. It will not be wrong, to say that there are as
many communicative approaches as there are teachers because there is
not a single, uniform method that could be called 'communicative'.
Different practitioners use different techniques to involve learners in the
process of learning. These include slide shows for identification;
incomplete maps, plans and diagrams for completion; jigsaw puzzles,

etc. However, it is certain that there exists no homogeneous view among
the practitioners about the ways CLT can be interpreted through the
classroom teaching. Much idiosyncrasy is discerned at the level of
classroom presentation.
There is another problem that students face. They are asked to deal
with English without the help of a textbook and virtually no formal teaching
takes place in the'class. This, often results in confusion. Especially, in
India, students look forward to the teacher as an authority in all aspects
of learning. They expect him/her to monitor and control the classroom so
that they feel secured-in the examination. Unless we achieve some
consistency in CLT, i it is very difficult to believe that we are going to
change the present scenario of teaching and learning English.
Communicative Language Teaching and its principles are fast
changing the English language-teaching scenario in our schools. The
National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT)
published a policy document in December 2000 that provides for learner-
centrjed teaching rather than teacher-dominated. In Jammu and Kashmir,
the State Board of School Education has launched a massive programme
of materials production that are based on the principles of CLT. With the
introduction of English from ClassT, tfie Board has been able to produce
materials for secondary and higher secondary levels which are learner-
centred and attempt to ensure student participation in the learning process.
In order to make the teaching materials achieve their objectives, it is
important that the classroom teachers use. the materials as an aid for
developing communication skills in the students.

Practical application
As discussed above, communicative tasks/activities are so varied that it
would be very difficult to appreciate the full implications^ CLT through
one, or two exercises. These tasks/activities include:
1. Warm-ups: A warm-up task is a small task given just in the
beginning of the class to develop interest in students. It does
not normally take more than five minutes. They vary from level
to l e v e l . Seth Lindstromberg's book The Standby Book
(Cambridge University Press) contains many warm-up activities
for different levels of students. Here is a sample game: All the
students.in the class are given a card bearing a letter-pattern as

shown below. Each student is asked to write down on a sheet
of paper all the words they can make from the letters provided
the middle letter appears in each. It is a timed game. The student
with maximum words wins. It can be played in groups also.
Below is given an example:

Steps: ,

to teach. -
b. On the black/white board/theteacher draws the following
grid and asks students to copy in their notebooks:

Words I know Words I'm not Words I would

c. The students are asked to write at least three words in each


column.
d. In groups of 2 or 3, studfcnts compare their lists, check the
middle column and complete die last column.
e. The teacher or one of the students fills the board with words
from column 2 and 3.

2. Gaines: Language teaching games are enjoyable activities
covering grammatical items, vocabulary, etc. W. R. Lee's
Language Teaching Games and Contests (Oxford University

and adults.
3. Tasks: Different tasks covering all the four skills and for
different age-groups can be found in books like, Francoise
Grellet's Developing Reading Skills (Cambridge University

(Cambridge University Press), to name just a few. The following
isadiscussion-groupactivityandis suitable for intermediate
or advanced levels. The activity would take 20-30 minutes:
Step 1: The students are divided into groups of 4 or more. One
of the students is chosen as group leader for reporting the
r, group's observations.
Step. 2: Each member of the group receives a copy of the
following activity. The class is explained what the task is about
Each group is asked to discuss what items they would choose
for survival on the moon and why?-

You are a member of a space crew originally scheduled to meet with a
mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Because of mechanical
difficulties, however, your ship was forced to land at a place 200 miles
from the meeting point During the landing, much of the equipment aboard
was damaged, and since survival depends on reaching the mother ship,
the most criticaHtems available must be chosen for the 200-mile trip.
Below are listed fifteen items left intact and undamaged after landing.
Your task is to rank and order them in terms of importance to your crew
in allowing them to reach the meeting point.

teacher could ask students to write areport about their imaginary flight to
the moon. lt could be a home assignment which the teacher collects next
morning ot asksstudents' to collect each other's for peer-correction
(another important feature of CLT that helps students to check/edit each
other's writing). The writings can even be displayed in the class for all
students to look at different writing styles. This can, however, be done at
a fairly advanced level. The teacher will have to identify which tasks
would suit at what level of learning.

Eclectic Approach

Theory and aims


lecticism refers to a teaching situation in which the teacher does
ot use any one particular method but includes a mixture of different
methods to suit his class. Rather than believe in any single way of teaching,
the teacher subscribes to moderate doses of almost every style of teaching.
There are varied methods and approaches to language teaching, each,
among other things, is an expression of teachers" beliefs about language
learning. Naturally, sucnbdiefs, influence bur textbooks also. Those
teachers who do not want tostisk to one particular method, for one reason
or the other, try to adopt a mixture of different techniques chosen from
various language teaching and leabsdng philosophies. They are called
eclecticists and the.approach i n k h o w n a s the 'eclectic approach' or
eclecticism. " \
A language teacher has many approache^and methods from which to
choose. Some of them are old and some are new. Among the old are:
• Grammar-Translation Method: .advocating language as an
exercise in intellectual development through reading, and
' writing of literature of the target languageVad translating that
literature into the learner's mother tongue. \
• The Direct Method: eschews the learner's mother tongue and
advocates the use of the target language in developing all the
four skills-listening, speaking, reading.and writings
• Structural-Situational approach: a grammatical approach in
teaching language through a careful selection, gradatioi\and
presentation of vocabulary items and structures, and through
situation-based activities.

As is clear, AudicfcLingual Methodris eclectic in natmhas it combines the


skills that were believed to be important in the earlier ones, though, as we
know, there are differences between these approaches regarding, for
example, language; apd language learning. Similarly, the Natural-approach
developed as an extension of. the Direct Method. If one, then, can employ
a number of different methods to achieve the objectives, it may be
professionally a stimulating experience. However, there are dangers also:
if a teacher fails to use thWnethods carefully, understanding the underlying
principles of the techniques that he adopts, the only result will be confusion
and chaos in the classroom. That is why, many people have put forward
arguments against eclecticism.
One of the arguments against eclecticism has been that some teachers
play safe,by notadheringto anyone methdd.They never deliberate upon
the efficacy or otherwise ofNa'method and easily fall victim to
methodological baggage that corn^s with-eclecticism. One of the critics
of eclecticism hafc ;'said that 'eclecticism. at the classroom level invariably
degenerates into any unsystematic, unprincipled, and uncritical pedagogy
because teachers with very little professional preparation to be eclectic in
a principled way have little option but to randomly put together a package
of techniques from various methods and l^bel it eclectic1. If one choose
mixed methods, it is very likely that all kinds of conflicts will arise.
Moreover, if one is adopting new techniques sind mixes it with conflicting
and contradictory' ones, the effect of liew technique will be diluted,
The above discussion has revealed that eclecticism in language
teaching must be judiciously adopted not just fdi; the sake of it but to
achieve the desired goals. There has to be principled combination of
different techniques to avoid frustration among students. In ah eclectic
approach there is no guarantee that learners might make a sense of what
they are learning. They may be exposed to a whole host of interesting

materials and attractive tasks but might not leam anything through them.
In such a situation a language teacher needs to manifest commitment to
his profession and to his own teaching. Change is always good, but one
must change only if one ne^ds to. If a teacher feels that his method has
been doing well, there is no, need for him to change. However, if the
change is necessary, he must oread on the new path carefully. Questions
like, 'How do these. materials)Tpethods/techniques make it easier for
learners do develop?' 'What are the underlying rationale for using these
tasks?' and 'What is the best wapspf using the techniques and at what
point of time?' etc should be answered before thinking of a change.

You may have noticed that the goal of the methods we have
looked at so far is for students to learn t )]fni|nunicate in the target
language. In the 1970s, though, Micafc to question if they
were going about, meeting tjj^gokl my. Some observed

it required commu: re competence (Hymes 1971)—knowing
when and how to say what to whom. Such observations contributed to a
shift in the field in the late 1970s and early, 1980s from a linguistic struc-
ture-centered approach to a Communicative A ch (Widdowso'n

likely to say something like 'I think the vacation policy might change,'
than 'The vacation policy will change.'

The answers to foi\fpzix questions will help us come to a better under-

1 What are the goals of teachers who use Co cative Language

one of his major responsibilities is to establish situations likely to pro-,

Activities t h ^ i r e truly communicative, according to Morrow (in
Johnson anaMorrow 1981), have three features in common: informa-
tion gap, choice, and feedback.. ' '
•An information gap exists when one persjja-iji an exchange knows
•something the other person dpes not. If w Jtnow today is Tuesday
and I ask you,.'What is. today?' and answer, 'Tuesday,' our
exchange is.not really communicative.
In communication, t at she will say and

True com peaker can thus evaluate
whether or n achieved based upon the infor-
mation she re iener. If the listener does not have an
opportunity he speaker with such feedback, then the
exchange is communicative. Forming questions through a
transformation drill may be a worthwhile activity, but it is not in keep-
ing with CLT since a speaker will receive ho response from a listener, so
is unable to: assess whether her question has. been 'understood or not.
Another characteristic of CLT is the use of authentic materials. It is

.considered desirable to give students an opportunity to develop strate-


gies for understanding language as it is actually, used.
Finally, we noted that activities in CLT are often carried out by stu-
dents in small groups. Small numbers of students interacting are
favored in order to maximize .the time allottpdtcj each student for com-
municating.

4 What is the nature of student^ cher iht£ra hat is the nature


of student-student inte^ctlon?

dents.
Students i (;h\(3^gp^nother. They do this in var-
ious.configu ul groups, and whole group.

5 How are the fe e students dealt with?


One of the basic-assumptions of CLT is that by learning to communi-
cate students will be more motivated to study a foreign language since
they will feel they are learning to do something jrsefu] with the lan-
guage.- Also, teachers give students an opp to express their
individuality by having them share their ide; Opinions on a' regu-
lar basis. Finally, student security i$\enhan many opportuni-
ties for cooperative interactions wivh the|: dents arid the

being more of a social equal or the oifi as being informal, he or
she would more likely use 'fSij' to si n ('Can I have a piece

Role play

Desuggestopedia. Role plays are very important in CLT because they give students an
opportunity to practice communicating in different social contexts and in different social roles.
Role plays can be set up so that they are very structured (fop-example, the teacher tells the
students who they are and what they should say) or in a l^s^nictured way (for example, the
teacher tells the students who they are, what the situation $n<3 what they are talking about,

AUDIO LINGUAL METHOD

INTRODUCTION
The Audio-Lingual Method, like the Direct Method we have just examined, is also an oral-
based approach. However, it is very different in that rather than emphasizing
vocabulary acquisition through exposure to its use in situations, the Audio-Lingual
Method drills students in the use of grammatioafjsentence
ticz patterns. It also, mWke the
£
Direct Method, has a strong theoretical base in I ^tics and psychology. Charles Fries

Main features of the audio-lingual method


• The audio- lingual method treated each language skills separately : listening, speaking,
reading, writing.
• This method focused primarily on the skills of listening and speaking, in accordance with
Moulton's first slogan : Language is speech, not writing.
• The skills of writing and reading were not ne0eef?d, but the focus throughout remained
on listening and speaking.

TECHNIQUES OF THE AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD.


The skills were taught in the following order: listening ->speaking-> reading^ writing. The
first few stages concentrated on listening and speaking skills.
Language was introduced through dialogues which contained common structures used in
everyday communication as well as useful vocabulary. The dialogues were memorized line
by line. Learners mimicked the teacher of or a tape, listening carefully to the all
pronunciation was important in presenting the model.
Phrases add sentences of a dialogues were learnt through repetition, first by the whole class,
then smaller groups and finally individual learners.
To consolidate what was learnt, the dialogues was adapted and personalized by application
to the learner's own situation. These drills were practiced orally, first in chorus and later
individually. Some generalizations (not rules) were given to advanced learners about the
structures they had practiced.
ENGLISH VISION ACADEMY
[AN INSTITUTE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE & EDUCATION]

Reading and writing were introduced in the next stage. The reading material was generally
based on the oral lesson in order to establish a relationship between speech and
writing. All reading material was introduced orally first.

Writing, in the early stages, was confined to transcriptions of the structures and dialogues
learnt earlier. Once the learner has mastered the basic structures. She was asked to write
reports / compositions based on the oral lessons.

Graded passages from literary text advanced stage. The learners

COMMENT:

democratized the!

Speaking was finally recogni: to language learning.

The technique it used, of graded structural practice was a practical way of doing away with
translation in the classroom.
Though the audio lingual method failed due to various factors, some of its features still find a
place in classroom teaching of foreign and second languages the world over.

In order to come to an understanding of this method, let us now enter a classroom where the
Audio-Lingual Method is being used. We will sit in on a beginning level English class in Mali.
There are thirty-four students, thirteen to fifteen years of age. The class meets for one hour a
day, five days a week.

EXPERIENCE
As we enter the classroom, the first thing we notice is that the students are attentively
listening as the teacher is presenting a new dialog, a conversation between two people. The
students know they will be expected to eventually memorize the dialog the teacher is
introducing All of the teacher's instructions are in' English. Sometimes she uses actions

to convey meaning, but not one word of the students' native language is uttered. After
she act but the dialog, she.says:
'All right, class. I am going, to repeat the dialog now. Listen carefully,, but no talking please.

Two people are walking along a sidewalk in town. They know each other,'and as they meet,
they stop to talk. One of them is named Sally and the other one is named Bill.; Listen to their
conversation;

Listen one more-time. This tirfie^ry td I "am saying.' Now she tells the hole
class repeat each of the lines oLthe jdlalog^aftef^er model. They repeat each, line several
times before moving on to th^nexLHn^.cWnen the class comes to the line, 'I'm going to the
post office,' they stumble a hiHrrtheir repetition. The teacher, at this point, stops the
repetition and uses, a backward build-up drill (expansion drill). The purpose of this drill is to
breakdown the troublesome sentence into smaller pars The teacher starts with the' end of the
sentence arid has the class repeat just the last two words:. Since they ganclo this, the
teacher adds a .fewmore words, and the class, repeat this expanded phrase. Little by little the
teacher builds up the phrases until the entire sentence is being repeated.

TEACHER Repeat after me : post office


CLASS Post office
TEACHER To the post office
CLASS To the post office. ."
TEACHER Going to the post office.
CLASS 'Going to the post office.
TEACHER I'm-going to the post office.
CLASS ; I'm going to the post office.

Through this step by-slip proudure, the teacher is able to give the students help in producing
the troublesome line. Having worked on the line in small pieces, the students are also able to
take note of where each word or phrase begins and en ends in the sentence.

After the students have recited the dialog serveral times gives them a chance to adopt the
role of Bill while she says Sally" lines Before the class actually says each line.

THINKING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE


Although it is true that this was a very brief experience with the Audio Lingual Method, let's
see if we can make some observations about the behavior of the teacher and the techniques
she used. From these we should be able to figui*eout\the principles underlying the method.

7 What areas of language are emphasized? What language skills are emphasized?
Vocabulary is kept to a minimum while the students are mastering the sound system
and grammatical patterns. A grammatical pattern is not the same as a sentence. For
instance, underlying the following three sentences is the same grammatical pattern: Meg
called, The Blue Jays won, The team practiced.
The natural order of skills presentation is adhered to: listening, speaking, reading, and
writing. The oral/aural skills receive most of the attention. What students write they have first
been introduced to orally. Pronunciation is taught from the beginning, often by students
working in language laboratories on discriminating between members of pairs.
8 What is the role of the students' native language?
The habits of the students' native language are thought to interfere with the students'
attempts to master the target language. Therefore, the target language is used in the
classroom, not the students' native language. A contrastive analysis between the
students' native language and the target language will reveal where a teacher should
expect the most interference.

Question-and-answer drill
This drill gives students practice with answering questions. The students should answer the
teacher's questions very quickly. Although we did not see it in our lesson here, it is also
possible for the teacher to cue the students to ask questions as well. This gives students
practice with the question pattern.
Use of minimal pairs
The teacher works with pairs of words which differ in only one sound; for example,
'ship/sheep.' Students are first asked to perceive the difference between the two words and
later to be able to say the two wordsrThe teac|a€r s^lfechs. the sounds to work on after she

Grammar game
Games like the supermarket Mol^bethkme described in this chapter are used in the Audio-
Lingual Method. The games are designed to get students to practice a grammar point within
a context. Students are able to express themselves, although it is rather limited in this game.
Notice there is also a lot of repetition in this game.

CONCLUSION -
We've looked at both the techniques and the principles of the AudioLingual Method. Try now
to make the bridge between this book and your teaching situation.
Does it make sense to you that language acquisition results from habit formation? If so, will
the habits of the native language interfere with target language learning? Should the
errors be prevented as much as possible? Should the major focus be on the structural
patterns of the target language? Which of these or the other principles of the Audio- Lingual
Method are acceptable to you?
Is a dialog a useful way to introduce new material? Should it be memorized through
mimicry of the teacher's model? Are structure drills valuable pedagogical activities? Is
working on pronunciation through minimal-pair drills a worthwhile activity?

As with the Grammar-Translation Method, the Direct Method is not new. Its

principles have been applied by language teachers for many years. Most recently, it

The Direct Method has one very basic rule: No translation is allowed In
fact, the Direct Method receives its name from the fact that meaning is
to be conveyed directly in the target language through the use of
demonstration and visual aids, with no recourse to the students' native
language (Diller 1978).

rhe roots of the DIRECT ME far back as the nineteenth century. In 1880, Francois
iouijT_wrote a book called the "Art of Teaching a n d L a m i n g of I a n g r m r p g " According to this
)ook, a foreign language could be taught using a series of simple events. The teacher described
jach event in the foreign language and set reading and writing tasks on these lessons. The
eacher used full sentences in the foreign language as input rather than words arid

i the late nineteenth — early twentieth century, Henry Sweet (1845-1912), an English
ihilologist, set about modifying and improving the 'direct method' as it was called, by the turn of
i e century.
heaim of the direct method was to get the. learner to think in the target language.
he teaching methodology w a s based on the following principles:-

The process of learning is essentially one of forming associations:


speech with appropriate action., words with concepts and objects. The associations had to be
direct, concrete and definite, and cross associations which conflicted with each other had to be
avoided.

The class replies in chorus, 'The ocean on the West Coast is the Pacific.' After the students

as, 'Antonella, is your book on your desk?"Antonio, who is sitting between Luisa and
Teresa?"Emanue!a, point to the clock.' The students then make up their own questions and
statements and direct them to other students.
The teacher next instructs the students to turn, to an exercise in the lesson which asks
them to fill in the blanks. They read a sentence out loud and supply the missing word as

in the classroom. When the u|e^eadily_and_appropriately, the learning moved to the
common situations and settin^of^gverday life, the lesson often developing around specially
constructed pictures of life in the country where the language was spoken. Where the meaning of
words could not be made clear by concrete representation, the teacher resorted to making,
sketches, or explanations in the foreign language but never supplieid native-language
translations. From the beginning the students were accustomed to hear complete, meaningful
sentences which formed part of a simple discourse, often in the form of a question-answer
interchange. Grammar was not taught explicitly arid deductively as in the grammar-
translation class but was learned largely through practice. Students were encouraged to draw
their own structural generalizations from what they had been learning by anjndjctive process. In
thi sway, the study of grammar was kept at a functional level, being confined to those areas which
were continually being used in speech. When grammar was taught more systematically, at a later
stage, it was taught in the foreign Language with the use of foreign- language terminology.

When students were introduced to reading material, they read about things they had already
discussed orally, the teacher preparing the students for reading selections by a preceding oral
presentation of new words and new situations. 'Texts were read aloud by teacher and students

Teachers who use the Direct Method intend that students learn how to communicate in the target
language. In order to do this successfully, students should learn to think in the target language.
2 What is the role of the teacher? What is the role of the students?
Although the teacher directs the class activities, the student role is less passive than in the
Grammar-Translation Method. The teacher and the students are more like partners in the
teaching/learning process.

3 What are some characteristics of the teaching/learning process?-


Teachers who use the Direct Method believe^studjsntXneed to associate jrieaning and the

The initiation of the interaction goes both ways, from teacher-to students and from student to
teacher, although the latter is often teacher- directed. Students converse with one another as
wgU.
5 How are the feelings of the students dealt with? -
There are no principles of the method which relate to this area.
6 How is language viewed? How is culture viewed?
Language is primarily' spoken, not written. Therefore, students study common, everyday
speech jn the target language. They also study culture consisting of the history of the people
who speaMhe target language, the geography of the country or countries where the language
is spoken, and information about the daily lives of the speakers of the language.

REVIEWING THE TECHNI


Are there answers tq the teji] ^uejstions with which you agreed? Then the following
techniques may also be usefukOf course, even if you did not agree with all the answers, there
may be some techniques of the Direct Method you can adapt to your own approach to teaching.
The following expanded review of techniques provides you with some details which will help you
do this.

Reading aloud
Students take turns reading sections of a passage, play, or dialogue aloud. At the end of each
student's turn, the. teacher uses gestures, pictures, examples, or other means to make the
meaning of the section clear.
Question and answer exercise
This exercise is conducted only in the target language. Students are asked questions and answer
in full sentences so that they practice new words and grammatical structures. They have the
opportunity to ask questions as well as answer them.

Getting students to self-correct


The teacher of this class has the students setf-correct by asking them to make a choice between
what they said and an alternative answer he supplied. There are, however, other ways of getting
tIma"M1 ENGLISH VISION ACADEMY T z
[AN INSTITUTE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE & EDUCATION]q^"J^

students to self-correct. For example, a teacher might simply repeat what student has just said,
using a questioning voice to signal to the student that something was wrong with it. Another
possibility is for the teacher to repeat what the student said, stopping just before the error. The
student knows that the next word was wrong.

Conversation practice
The teacher asks students a number of questions in the target language,, which the students have
to understand to be able to answer correctly. In the^class observed, the teacher asked individual
students questions about themselves. The questions contained a particular grammar structure.
Later the students wdre able to ask^ea^h other |rtieir own questions using the same grammatical
structure. ^

while the students just listen. Tne-s^cond time he reads the passage phrase by phrase, pausing
long enough to allow students to write down what they have heard. The last time the teacher
again reads at a normal speed, and students check their work.

Map drawing
The class included one example of a technique used to give students listening comprehension
practice. The students were given a map with the geographical features unnamed. Then the
teacher gave the students directions such as the following, 'Find the mountain range in the West.
Write the words "Rocky Mountains" across the mountain range.' He gave instructions for all the
geographical features of the United States so that students would hav a completely labeled map if
they followed his instructions correctly. The students then instructed the teacher to do the same
thing with a map he had drawn on the blackboard. Each student could have a turn giving the
teacher instructions for finding and labeling one geographical feature.

Paragraph writing
The teacher in this class asked the students to write a paragraph in their own words on the major
geographical features of the United States. They could have done this from memory, or they could
have used the reading passage in the lesson as a model.

Now that you have considered the principles and the techniques of the Direct Method somewhat,
see what you can find of use for your own teaching-Situation.

STRUCTURAL ORAL SITUATIONAL APPROACH
(STRUCTURAL METHOD)
Brief history
The STRUCTURAL-ORAL-SITUATIONAL. APPROACH, popularly known as the S-O-S
approach .came into being as an alternative to the direct method of teaching English as a second
language. The structural approach is an outcom§/t5f the experiments carried Out in language
teaching in the army camps during World Warjl. The entry of the United States of America
into the World War had a significant\effect orTu^uage teaching in America. The American
government needed personrpl^noV^re) fluent i i ^ e r m ^ P r e n c h , Italian, Chinese, Japanese and

about two years but made )n$idergtye,4mp&ctjah the academic community, linguists and
language teachers. Unguis lea Hogiiists during this period were becoming increasingly
involved in the teaching of Ert /aforeign language. The demand for foreign expertise in the
teaching of English was growing. Thousands of students from foreign countries who came to
America for higher studies required training in English before they could begin their studies.
These factors led to the emergence, of what is popularly known as the S-O-S approach, in the mid-
fifties.
In 1939, the University of Michigan estabjjshed the first English Language Institute in
the USA. The primary aim of the Institute was to train teachers of English to teach English as a
foreign language or as a second language. Charles Fries who Was the director of the institute, was
trained structural linguistics and he applied the principles of structural linguistics to language
teaching, Fries and his colleagues were not happy with the direct method of teaching English,
in which the learners were exposed to the whole body of the languagejo begin with and then
expected to gradually absorb its grammatical .salterns. For Fries, grammar or the structure of
the language was identified with its basic sentence patterns and grammatical structures. The
language was taught by intensive oral drilling of the basic sentence patterns. Systematic attention
was paid to pronunciation. Teaching techniques concentrated on repetition of a pattern a
number of times so that the learner became perfect in the use of the pattern. Systematic courses

and materials were developed based on important patterns to teach English as a second language,
Besides the University of Michigan, a number of other universities also developed similar
programmes.ln 1950, the American council of Learned Societies was commissioned to develop text
books for teaching English to speakers of a number of foreign languages.
While the structural approach developed by linguists at Michigan and other universities
was gaining ground, the applied linguists and methodologists of Britain were developing the oral
approach to teaching English as a foreign/ seccy*^ language. The two traditions developed
independently. Two prominent linguists in this mo it were Harold Palmer and A.S. Hornby.

From the historical d n pe seen that the structural oral situational
approach became very effi nglish as a foreign / second language in the late
1940s and early 1950s.
And it was in 1952 that the S-O-S approach made its advent in India. Tamil Nadu was
the first state in India to agree to use the SOS approach for the teaching of English as a second
language._Jean Forester, the principal of a teacher- training college in Maadras, was in charge of
the programme. Very soon the British Council took keen interest in popularizing the approach.
ELT experts from England helped the Tamil Nadu government in framing the syllabus and
producing relevant materials. The Madras English Language Teaching (MELT) campaign was
started to provide training to all the teachers of English in the new approach. The training
programme used the snowball effect, for propagation of_the new approach. Tamil Nadu had a
number of nodal centres in important cities which trained the resource persons, who, in turn, trained
the practising, teachers. An effective follow-up programme was also prepared to met the needs of
English teachers and guide them in classrooms. The British Council also sent Indian ELT experts
from Tamil Nadu to various English universities for further training in English language teaching.
The S-O-S approach to the teaching of English became so effective in Tamil Nadu that the
other soutern states of India, namely, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala, wanted the
approach to be introduced in their states too.

As a result of this it was thought that instead of starting separate English language teaching
institutes in each of the southern states, it would be better to have one institute in the south which
could train the English teachers from the four southern states and also produce syllabuses,
materials, and text books, based on the S-O-S approach, for them. This led to the starting of the
Regional Institute of English at Bangalaore in 1963. The Institute has since been training
teachers of English from the four southern state, s and also helping to produce materials and texts
for the states.

It means 'that we cannot start anywhere or with anything; for in a system one thing fits into
another, and one thing depends on another'. (Mackey 1965)
Foigrading the structures, the following criteria are taken into account:
• Whether the items are frequently used by the users of the language.
• Whether the items are useful for the purpose of learning the language.
Whether the items can be easily taught and learnt.
Which items can be grouped together for the purpose of teaching.

Similarly, the vocabulary items are also selected and graded. ^Freguency counts of the
basic vocabulary used in English show that a core of two thousand words or so occur

onsidered necessary because a language is a set of habits
and language learning is said to be habit formation. The exponents of the S-O-S approach were
strongly influenced by the operant conditioning theories of B.F. Skinner, according to which
~ ~ —
habits are established when reward or reinforcement follow. Reinforcement is a vital element in
the learning process, because it a increases the likelihood that the behavior will occur again and
ultimately become a habit.
The behavioural psychology of Skinner which is also known as the stimulus response
theory of learning was found to be relevant in the S-O-S approach, which as a result, led to
pattern drilling, mimicry, memorization, etc. The learners 'learn to manipulate structures to a
point of automatic response to a language stimulus.' (Rivers 1968)
Palmer points out that there are three process in learning a language receiving the
knowledge or materials, fixing it in the memory by repetition, and using it in actual
practice until it becomes a personal skill. (Frisby 1957) .

By using situations the use of the mother tongue can be avoided.

If the language item is given in meaningful situations, the learners can deduce the meaning
and context from the situation in which it is used. In the situational approach, explanations are
discouraged and the learners is expected to apply the language learnt In the classroom to situations

The Syllabus
Basic to the teaching of English as a second language is a list structural syllabus and word
list. A structural syllabus is a list of the basic structures and sentence patterns of English according
to their order or presentation. The syllabus is generally prepared by a team of language experts and
methcdologists. In the four southern states of India, the syllabus normally consisted of about 250
structures .of period ofseven years in the case^of Tamil Nadu and five years in the other states.

Techniques used in the S-O-S approach


1 Situations
In the S-O-S approach, structures are always presented in meaningful situations. First, the
language item is presented and practiced orally and this is followed by practice in reading and
writing.
1.1 Classroom situations:
/ill that is available in the classroom, like the furniture, the blackboard the pictures, the calendar,
the windows, the doors, etc. can be made use of, for the presentation and practice of new
language items and vocabulary.
1.2 Outside the classroom:
Things outside which can be seen from the classroom like trees, flowers, etc. can also be used
forteaching.
1.3 Pictures, picture cut-outs, drawing, object, models:
Visual aids provide very effective situations in teaching. Teachers can draw stick figures on
the blackboard and bring small objects are easily available to the classroom. One of the most

useful things which all teachers can afford to do is to have a good collection of pictures from old
magazines, newspapers etc.
1.4 Verbal situations:
Vocabulary items which cannot be taught using any of the techniques mentioned will have to be
explained either in the mother tongue or the target language. Words which are abstract in nature fall
into this category. For instance, a word like honest or honesty needs explaining.
2 Drills
The use of drills is a central technique of the S- roach. Drills can be of three types, chorus,
group and individual. In chorus drills, the wh is divided into groups and the patterns
are practiced by groups one aft^r^raotheij. Later, are asked to drill the pattern.

* The value of a substitution table lies in its use as a habit maker.
Through substitution tables the learner becomes habituated to the use of correct forms and only the correct
form. Habit can come only by practice, drill and memory; there is no other way. (French 1960)
A substitution table can used as a testing too. In a testing table, only certain items can be combined
to frame correct and meaningful sentences. Learners will have to make a correct choice of words
from the columns of the table to construct meaningful sentences.
3 Other Drills The book is on the table
3.1 Call-word technique substitution: Teacher : Floor
Learner : The book is on the floor
In this drill the teacher writes a pattern on the blackboard. Teacher : Bench
Learner : The book is on the bench
Learners are asked to read it a few times and once they
have mastered the pattern, the teacher calls words to be substituted in the right places in the
sentence.

THE GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD

INTRODUCTION^^ ^
The Grammar-Trans/ation Method is not new. It has had different names, but it has
been used by language teachers for many years. At one time it was called the
Classical Method since it was first used irUh€?teaching of the classical languages,
Latin and Greek (Chastain 1988). Earlier ir} ^isKcentury, this method was used for
the purpose of helping stuc^fs r^pd a n ^ p ^ r ^ c r a t ^ foreign language literature. It
was also hoped that, stud^oMhe"grammar of the target language,

The method focuses primarily on the skills of reading and writing, with little
emphasis on listening or speaking.

The Texts
Most of the texts at the secondary level were written by scholars who were not
engaged in teaching at the secondary level. The texts usually contained long
extracts from great writers chosen for their intellectual content rather than for their
linguistic value — nor was the learner's interests taken into consideration. The

The main concern of the teacher was to cover all the lessons in the boi

The questions are in English, and the students are instructed to write the answers to
them in English as well. They do the first one together as an example. A student
reads out loud, 'When did Mark Twain live?' Another student replies, 'Mark Twain
lived from 1835 to 1910. The students begin working quietly by themselves.

In addition to questions that ask for information contained within the reading
passage, the students answer two other twies ^questions. For the first type, they
have to make inferences bas^ed'onvtheir uj^e standing of the passage. For example,
one question is: 'Do youQhin'k\lf£ toy was^a nbrtidus? Why or why not?' The other

question. If the answer is incorrect, the teacher selects a different student to supply
the correct answer, or the teacher gives the right answer.

Announcing the next activity, the teacher asks the students to turn the page in their
text. There is a list of words there. The introduction to the exercise tells the students
that these are words taken from the passage they have just read. The students see
the words 'ambition", "career,"wharf,"tranquil,"gorgeous,"loathe,"envy," and
'humbly.' Tfrey are told that some of these are review words and that others are new
to them. The students are instructed to give the Spanish word for each of them. This
exercise the class does together. If no one knows the Spanish equivalent, the

teacher gives it. In Part 2 of this exercise, the students are given English words like
'love,"noisy,"ugly,' and 'proudly,' and are directed to find the opposites of these
words in the MOTSARA

When they have finished this exercise, the teacher reminds them that English won
that look like Spanish words are called 'cognates.' The English '-ty,' she says f

If the two-word verb is separable, the direct object may come between tl
verb and its particle. However, separation is necessary when the direct obje
is a pronoun. If the verb is inseparable, then there is no separation of the ve
and particle by the object. For example:

or
John put his book away/John put it away.
John put away it. \

At the end of the chapter there is a list of vocabulary items that appeared in the
passage. The list is divided into two parts: the first contains words, and the second,
idioms like 'to give someone the cold shoulder.' Next to each is a Spanish word or

THINKING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE


This has been just a brief introduction to the Grammar-Translation Method, but
probably true that this method is not new to many of you. You may have studie
language in this way, or you may be teaching with this method right now. Whe
this is true or not, let us see what we have learned about the Grammar-Transla
Method. We are able to make a number of observations about the class
attended. Our observations will be listed in the left column; from them we will tr
identify the principles of the Grammar-Translation Method. The principles will
listed in the right column. We will make our observations in order, following
lesson plan of the class we observed.

1 What are the goals of teachers who use the Grammar-Translation Method?
According to the teachers who use the Grammar-Translation Method, a
V fundamental purpqsejof learning a foreign language is to be able to read literature
written in the target language. To do this, students need to learn about the grammar
rules and vocabulary of the target language. In addition, it is believed that studying a
foreign language provides students with goodT^ental

language vocabulary words.

Reading comprehensionxquesjfons
Students answer questions in the target language based on their understanding of
the reading passage. Often the questions are sequenced so that the first group of
questions asks for information contained within the reading passage, order to
answer the second group of questions, students will have to make inferences based
on their understanding of the passage. This means they will have to answer
questions about the passage even though the answers are not contained in the
passage itself. The third group of questions requires students to relate the passage
to their own experience.
Antonyms/synonyms
Students are given one set of words and are asked to find antonyms in the reading
passage. A similar exercise could be done by asking students to find synonyms for
a particular set of words. Or students might be asked to define a set of words based

Memorization
Students are given lists of target language vocabulary words and their nat
language equivalents and are asked to memorize them. Students are also requir
to memorize grammatical rules and grammatical paradigms such as v<

Do you believe that a functarae/ital reason for learning a foreign language is to be


able to read the literature written in the target language? Do you think it is important
to learn about the target language? Should culture be viewed as consisting of
literature and the fine arts? Do you agree with any of the other principles underlying
the Grammar-Translation Method? Which ones?

Is translation a valuable exercise? Is answering reading comprehension questions


of the type described here helpful? Should grammar be presented deductively? Are
these or any of the other techniques of the GrammarTranslation Method ones which
will be useful to you in your own teaching? Which ones?

1 Translation cum grammar method


This method has enjoyed the widest popularity in the teaching of English.
method has been used every where, specially where the necessity of learning a s«
language other than the mother tongue or regional language become essential.
-&rTtiJ
This method has no psychological base but has two philosophical bases:-
1) A foreign language can be easily learnt through translation.
— — — y
2) ^ Grammar is the soul of language.'^
Merits/Advantages , ,-••> f \ \

mother tongue. Thus this methdcl offers the shortest way to learn a foreign languat
5 It is economical. It saves money as well as time.
6 It helps the student to enhance vocabulory with a good understanding.
7 It gives correct knowledge of English because it explains grammatical rules. Thu
method is of the opinion that grammar is the first ladder for learning a foreign langi
8 It can work even in large/big class rooms.
Demerits/Disadvantage ifTF?
1) Literal translation ruins the sense of a sentence. So it leads to vernacularisms be<
complete and exact translation is impossible. JUZ-iS^'iy^F'
2) This method does not lay emphasis on speaking, readtng-and wrtirrcj. The nature
logical order of a language is understanding, speaking, reading and writing bi
method does not follow it. So it is called unnatural method. ~
3) It does not teach correct articulation intonation and pronunciation.
4) All the phrases and idioms can not be translated into mother tongue without losir
correct meaning. So only a limited number of sentences can be taught by this met!
5) This methoddevelops the habit of translation at thinking level. So this method stof
student from thinking freely.
6) This method develops bookish English. It does not develop expression power in w
as_well as in spoken. "" " " ~ •

Pronunciation and Speech Activities.
English Sounds and Phonetic Symbols :

The raw material of language is sound " Language Is thus the expression of ideas by
means of speech-sounds combined into words, words combined into sentences and this
combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts. " Sounds are produced using
parts of our chest, throat and head, and travel through the air in the form of vibrations.
These sounds are then received by the ear of the listener. The brain of the listener
converts the sounds into a meaningful message.

The energy for the production of speech is generally provided by the air stream coming
out of the lungs.

Phonetic Symbols:
Esch speech soundJsjBpresented by means of a phonetic symbol having a distinctive
sound unit called /j^onemesnThe use of phonetic symbols in writing leadslophonetic

Pronunciation and Speech Activities.
English Sounds and Phonetic Symbols :

The raw material of language is sound " Language is thus the expression of ideas by
means of speech-sounds combined into words, words combined into sentences and this
combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts. " Sounds are produced using
parts of our chest, throat and head, and travel through the air in the form of vibrations.
These sounds are then received by the ear of the listener. The brain of the listener
converts the sounds into a meaningful message.

The energy for the production of speech is generally provided by the air stream coming
out of the lungs.

Phonetic Symbols: „ — L
— "
Each speech sound is represented by means of a phonetic symbol having a distinctive
sound unit calledj^onemeinThe use of phonetic symbols in writing leads!o~phonetic
transcription of speech sounds under the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The
standarcLaccent of English is known as the/Received Pronunciation/(RP for short) or
the BBC accent. oMvicA. SfoCtJtly, odfUAJte & ' l y t M ^ ^ X ^ ^ . p k ^ r t a ^ c ^ o c ^ u C l ^ '

There are 44 speech sounds or phonetic symbols known as Phonemes in the English
