CHAPTER 1 PART 1

APPROACHES, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES IN LANGUAGE TEACHING

When the history of language teaching and learning is searched and examined, it can be seen that depending on the needs and the educational conditions of the time, different perspectives have emerged. This, together with the pursuit of the best method, led to the appearance of a wide range of approaches and methods regarding how language teaching needs to be carried out. The shortcomings of an approach and method paved the way for another one in order to compensate for these lacks and problems. The complexity of the contexts and the dynamic nature of the classroom have led us to the conclusion that there is no best method that can be universally accepted. Instead, teachers now acknowledge the need to adopt an informed and eclectic approach, incorporating elements from the range of methods and approaches at hand.

As mentioned above, throughout the history of the field of foreign language teaching, different approaches and methods have emerged and were affected by certain linguistics and psychology theories in this process. In order to discover and clearly understand the principles and underlying assumptions of the approaches and methods of language learning and teaching, linguistic and psychological views in language teaching methodology first need to be understood. Therefore, linguistic and psychological views are briefly explained below.

1. LINGUISTIC VIEWS

1.1. THE TRADITIONAL VIEW

Considering that the everyday spoken language is neither pure nor perfect and it includes errors, for centuries scholars have focused on the written language and its grammatical structures. With the emphasis on the accurate production of the language and determining the correct way of putting things into words, they followed a prescriptivist approach to the language (Please See Linguistics Chapter 1 for further information about prescriptivism). They were not concerned with the usage of the language for communication purposes, yet a tool for understanding the literature of the target language. To do that, they taught how to form grammatically correct sentences along with the knowledge of vocabulary.

1.2. STRUCTURALISM

In structuralism, language is viewed as a system of structurally related elements to convey meaning. It is an approach to linguistics which originated from the studies of Ferdinand de Saussure. The core idea of this theory for teaching language is that language can be analyzed as a formal system of differential components. In addition, language is considered to be basically for

speech and not reading or writing, consisting of habits which are systematically different from those in other languages. Teaching the language rather than teaching about the language is emphasized. In contrast to the traditional view in which written language is given priority and prescriptivism is adopted, the followers of this view focused on everyday language use and speech by examining the way people used the language not necessarily in the way scholars prescribed them to do, which is called descriptivism (Please refer to Linguistics Chapter 1 for further information about descriptivism). This descriptive approach to language aimed at depicting the language at the level of sound, word and sentence.

In short, structural linguistics emphasized the significance of language as a system and examines the role that linguistic units such as sounds, words, sentences play within this system. In association with behaviorism, it provided the principal theoretical basis of the audio lingual method, and in this way influenced language teaching materials, and techniques.

1.3. THE GENERATIVE TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY

Noam Chomsky opposed to the assumptions of structuralism and criticized it heavily by emphasizing that there is an underlying level for all utterances of the native speakers. The theory opposed to the empiricist theory, which is pedagogically audiolingualism, psychologically behaviorism, and linguistically structuralism. It emphasized mental activity and proposed that human beings have the capability to learn a language. It is the inborn ability instead of practice that enabled human beings to obtain the rules of a language and comprehend or produce unlimited numbers of utterances.

Basically, Chomsky introduced two core ideas in his theory. The first one is related to the distinction between competence and performance. Competence is defined as the knowledge of the language; however, performance is the actual use of the language, which is observable. The explanation of knowledge underlying the human ability to speak and understand the language is at the centre. Consequently, in this approach, each speaker has a linguistic organ specialized in the analysis and production of complex structures forming the speech. In other words, most of this knowledge of language is innate, so babies are born wired to acquire language and needs only actually learn the idiosyncratic features of the languages they are exposed to. The second core idea put forward in the theory was creativity of language knowledge; namely, explaining how people can produce and comprehend utterances which they have never heard before. Referring back to what was mentioned about competence, it can be stated that people depend on their language competence in order to generate novel utterances.

People generate their sentences and structure them on the basis of their knowledge of what is acceptable according to the grammatical systems of the language.

ATTENTION

1.4. THE COMMUNICATIVE VIEW

The communicative or functional view of language proposes that language is actually a vehicle in order to express functional meaning conveyed through structures. In the first place, semantic and communicative aspects of language are emphasized rather than the linguistic units, yet it should be noted that they are not totally neglected. Dell Hymes suggested that linguistic competence was not sufficient for a person to be able to use a language communicatively since it ignored the actual usage of language which is very much affected by contextual factors, such as interlocutors’ relationship, degree of closeness, physical context, age or gender of the interlocutors. Hymes introduced the concept of communicative competence (See Communicative Language Teaching in this chapter for more detailed information) which can be defined as the appropriate and effective use of language in line with the contextual factors influencing the choice of words and structures

2. THEORIES OF LEARNING

2.1. BEHAVIORISM

Behaviorism considers learning as habit formation assuming a learner is essentially passive imitator who responds to environmental stimuli. According to the theory, people start learning as a tabula rasa; that’s without any previous knowledge or competence and behavior is shaped by means of positive or negative reinforcement. Both positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement are used to increase the chance of the behavior to happen again. However, punishment decreases the probability of behavior to occur again. Briefly, followers of this theory completely neglected the importance of mind in the formation of verbal behavior. According to this stimulus-response theory introduced by Skinner, learning is a process of automatic habit formation happening via reinforcement of a mechanical relation between a stimulus and the desirable response. Errors are bad habits interfering in the learning process, so they need to be immediately corrected by the teachers.

1. Reinforcement is act of increasing the probability of a specific behavior in the future by delivering a stimulus immediately after a response/behavior is displayed correctly or desirably. It is divided into two: a. Positive Reinforcement: It refers to

presenting a motivating stimulus to the student after the desired behavior is demonstrated, to make the behavior more likely to occur in the future (e.g., praising the student for doing his/her homework)

b. Negative Reinforcement: It means removing a certain stimulus (often an aversive one) after a particular behavior is displayed to increase the likelihood of that behavior to happen again because of avoiding the negative consequence (e.g., taking away the deadline for the homework).

2 Punishment: It is a process by which an unwanted result immediately follows a behavior that decreases the future frequency of that behavior. There are two types of punishment:a. Positive Punishment: It is presenting a

negative consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited to make that behavior less likely to occur in the future (e.g., the student talks to his/her friend all the time during the lesson, and the teacher reprimands him/her).

b. Negative Punishment: It refers to removing a certain desired stimulus after a particular unwanted behavior is exhibited in order to decrease the occurrence of that behavior in the future (e.g., cancelling game time when the students haven’t done their homework).

With punishment, always remember that the end result is to try to decrease the undesired behavior. However, in reinforcement, the aim is to increase the likelihood of the wanted behavior to happen again.

ATTENTION

Behaviorism has a tendency to rely on drill exercises to provide the consistent repetition necessary for effective reinforcement of response patterns. Thus, memorization and imitation are at the heart of this theory. The use of positive reinforcements such as verbal praise, good grades, and prizes is also frequent.

2.2. COGNITIVE THEORYThe emphasis here is on the importance of experience, meaning, problem-solving and the development of insights. Different from Behaviorism, in which the language learning is believed to occur as a result of imitation and a lot of repetitions, this theory is based on internal and mental processes in language learning. Second language acquisition can be explained with a description of the interaction between language and cognition. In cognitive

5

theory, individuals are said to process information and thoughts involved in this cognitive activity are referred to as “internal processes”. Learning strategies are special ways of processing information that enhance comprehension and learning. The basic tenets of cognitive theory can be given as in the following:• It focuses on transferring, simplification, generalization,

and restructuring that involve second language acquisition.

• Language learning is the result of internal mental activity.

• It emphasizes that knowledge and new learning is organized in a mental structure.

• Learners act, construct, plan and analyze their own learning

• Positive and negative feedback is important for restructuring.

• Once new information is acquired, existing knowledge is reorganized.

• Learning language needs to be meaningful in order to be effective and permanent

2.3. HUMANISM

The humanistic approach tends to regard language learning as a process that engages the whole person and

not just the intellect. It also takes into consideration the emotional and spiritual needs of an individual. According to humanism, the receiver in education is first a human being; the secondary role of the individual is being a learner. It is emphasized that individuals’ basic needs are decided by their potential energy. When and if they cannot satisfy their basic needs physically and psychologically, they will surely fail to completely concentrate on their language learning. Emotions, feelings and attitudes of the learners towards language and language learning, their needs, interests, beliefs and motivations are the core concerns of humanism since they are the premise of the other physical and psychological activities. Therefore, before aiming at teaching the language, preparing the necessary conditions and classroom atmosphere is intended in order to make sure that learners feel relaxed and comfortable. By this way, their purpose is to avoid negative attitudes towards language learning. A humanistic approach in teaching both helps learners easily learn things but also develops their personality in various ways. Self-actualization is at the centre because the only reason for individuals to learn is to satisfy needs of the self-actualization. It follows that the study of the self, motivation, and goals are areas of particular interest. Moreover, the objective of education is to raise open-minded, dynamic and adjustable individuals in a cooperative, supportive environment.

Overview Of Learning TheoriesBehaviorism Cognitive Theory Humanism Constructivism

View of knowledge

Knowledge is a repertoire of behavioral responses to environmental stimuli.

Knowledge systems of cognitive structures are actively constructed by learners based on pre-existing cognitive structures.

Knowledge is formed by the development of the whole person by integrating the cognitive and affective aspects of the learning.

No concern for teaching static knowledge as the aim is to teach how to learn.

Knowledge is constructed within social contexts through interactions with a knowledge community.

View of learning

Passive absorption of a predefined body of knowledge by the learner.

Promoted by repetition and positive reinforcement.

Active assimilation and accommodation of new information to existing cognitive structures.

Discovery by learners.

Function of the whole person and believe that learning cannot take place unless both the cognitive and affective domains are involved

Personal act to fulfill learners’ potential.

Integration of students into a knowledge community.

Collaborative assimilation and accommodation of new information.

View of motivation

Extrinsic, involving positive and negative reinforcement.

Intrinsic; learners set their own goals and motivate themselves to learn.

Intrinsic; learners learn for self-actualization.

Providing active support, encouragement for the individuals to learn from their successes and failures keep them motivated to learn.

Intrinsic and extrinsic.

Learning goals and motives are determined both by learners and extrinsic rewards provided by the knowledge community.

Implications for Teaching

Correct behavioral responses are transmitted by the teacher and absorbed by the students.

The teacher facilitates learning by providing an environment that promotes discovery and assimilation/ accommodation.

The teacher is a facilitator that provides an anxiety-free classroom and comfortable learning to reduce the affective filter

Collaborative learning is facilitated and guided by the teacher.

2.4. CONNECTIONISM

Connectionism is another cognitive framework for the focus on learning

Processes. It differs from most other current frameworks for the study of SLA because it doesn’t consider language learning to involve either innate knowledge or

abstraction of rules and principles. However, it asserts that language learning results from increasing strength of associations (connections) between stimuli and responses.

This framework considers frequency of input an important causative factor in learning. From this input, learners extract the rules of the language through cognitive processes common to other areas of cognitive skill acquisition. As connectionism doesn’t accept innate rules and the existence of any innate language-learning module, L2 input is of huge importance; therefore, input is the source of both the units and the rules of language.

According to Connectionism, language includes units which are intertwined in mind, so acquisition occurs through associating elements or ideas with one another by means of experiences.

ANSWER: Dil edinimi teorilerinden "innatist" (doğuştan-cılık) çocuğun bir dil edinme mekanizmasıyla doğduğu-nu ve biyolojik olarak dil edinimi için programlandığını savunmaktadır. Soru kökündeki birinci öncül bu teoriyi açıklamaktadır. "Behaviorism" (davranışçılık) dil edini-mini "habit formation" (alışkanlık oluşturma) olarak ta-

nımlayan, çocukların etrafında duydukları dili taklit edip tekrar etmesiyle ve de yetişkinler tarafından pekiştiril-mesiyle oluştuğunu savunur. Sorudaki ikinci öncül bu teoriye aittir. "Connectionism" (bağlantıcılık) dil edinimi-nin, deneyimler sırasında karşılaşılan unsurlar ve fikirler arasında bağlantı kurularak oluştuğunu iddia etmektedir. Bu da soruda verilen üçüncü öncülde ifade edilmektedir.

The answer is D.

3. DEFINITIONS OF TERMINOLOGIES

Before moving on with giving detailed information about each approach and method in language teaching and learning, we need to define and clarify three important, often confusing, terminologies in this field:

Edward Anthony’s (1963) tripartite is the first attempt to make distinction among these terms. In order to define what ‘method’ is, we can consider the distinction of Approach, Method and Technique. According to his definitions, an approach can be considered as the broadest circle which presents a set of assumptions as to the nature and the components of the language and language teaching and learning. It also gives information regarding the necessary conditions for language learning to occur. Approach is also axiomatic, something the truth of which cannot be proven.

An approach can adopt one of the following 3 theories of language:

1. Structural view: According to structural view, language is viewed as structurally related units such as grammatical, phonological and lexical ones.

2. Functional view: In functional view, language is described as a vehicle to express functional meaning.

3. Interactional view: An approach adopting interactional view considers language as a vehicle to establish and maintain interpersonal relationship with other people.

However, method is the overall plan for the organized presentation of language material. It is basically the practical application of theoretical findings and positions. In this sense, it becomes clear that a method needs to be based on an approach. A method is procedural while approach is axiomatic.

7

Methods are typically informed by both a theory of language and a theory of language learning. To give an example, it can be stated that audiolingualism took its assumptions from a structuralist model of language and behaviourist learning theory.

ATTENTION

Finally, the smallest circle is the technique which is implementational. It is defined as the activities, practices, and tasks utilized in the classroom. Techniques need to be consistent with a method, and thus in harmony with an approach.

Later on, the concept of method is further explained by Richards & Rodgers (1982) in relation to Approach, Design and Procedure. Different from the distinction made by Anthony, design is described as the term regarding the theories of language and learning to the form and function of teaching materials and activities in the classroom, types of syllabus, and roles of teacher, student and instructional materials. Procedure, however, is related to the techniques and practices utilized in the classroom as a result of particular approaches and designs.

Methodology is the umbrella term and it refers to “pedagogical practices in general and whatever considerations are involved in ‘how to teach’. Approach is defined as the theoretical beliefs and assumptions about the view of language and language learning and teaching while method is the generalized procedures, based on an approach, as to how foreign languages are taught, what the roles of the teacher, student and instructional materials are and what type of syllabus is adopted. Technique, on the other hand, is the narrowest term that refers to the application of the procedures, presented by a method, through activities, practices, tasks and exercises.

A. BEFORE THE METHODS ERA

1. THE GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD The Grammar Translation Method is an old and traditional method that was first utilized to teach classical languages like Latin and Greek. The reason why oral language was not the focus of this method can be attributed to the fact that it was used to teach dead languages. It did not follow any approach. The purpose of learning and teaching

a foreign language is to read and understand and appreciate the literary texts (i.e., literature of the foreign language) in the target language so that individual can develop themselves intellectually and strengthen the powers of the mind. The lessons are taught in students’ first language by making use of translation.

• The purpose of learning a foreign language is to read the literary texts in the target language and to develop the learners intellectually.

• Other names given to the method are classical method, traditional method; grammar school method and Prussian method.

ATTENTION

1.1. Learning Theory: Deductive teaching and learning is of great importance in the method. In deductive learning, the learners are given the rules of the target language directly and explicitly and the correct productions of the structures are reinforced through example sentences and exercises. Translation is the main way of learning the language.

1.2. Language Theory: The role of the language is to help learners understand the literature of the target language so that they become more cultured and intellectual. Language consists of abstract grammatical rules and the written language is considered superior over spoken language. Apart from the linguistic structures in the target language, the students also learn the structure of their mother tongue.

1.3. Goals and Objectives: The Grammar Translation Method aims at teaching translation, reading and understanding the literature in the target language, raising the students’ awareness for their native language structure and vocabulary, and to improve students’ mental capacities with grammar practices.

1.4. The Role of Culture: Culture is limited to the literature and the fine arts of the target language; and it is learned through reading the literary texts which are full of complex grammatical structures and translating them.

1.5. The Role of Mother Tongue: The mother tongue of the students has a significant function in teaching vocabulary and grammar. Because oral communication and interaction in the target language are not focused to teach and develop, classroom instructions occur in the first language.

1.6. The Role of the Teacher: Teacher is considered as the only and strict authority in the classroom; thus, the classroom is teacher-centered by not putting the students at the centre of the teaching and learning process.

1.7. The Role of the Student: Students are regarded as the passive receivers of the new information transmitted from the teacher. The activities are initiated and directed by the teacher. Consequently, the students are expected to be passive, teacher-dependent and memorize the rules and the new vocabulary with mother tongue equivalents.

1.8. Teaching Language Areas: Grammar and vocabulary are primary language areas to be taught. Because the written language is given utmost importance, and the spoken language is neglected, so pronunciation is not focused for development.

1.8.1. Teaching Grammar: Teaching grammar occurs through the use of deductive teaching. Students are supposed to memorize the abstract rules of the linguistic structures. Afterwards, they apply these rules to new examples in the exercises. In the meantime, the teacher compares and contrasts the rules of the structures in the students’ first language and the target language using translation.

Deductive teaching of grammar is an approach to teach the language where the students are taught the rules of the grammar directly and explicitly without using meaningful context. Examples follow the provision of the explicitly given rules.

(“deductive” ve “inductive teaching” ile ilgili çıkan soruya yakın nitelikte örnek soru)

-----teaching involves giving the students examples of language within a meaningful context and working with them to come up with the target grammatical rules, whereas -----teaching begins by giving students the rules and working with them to produce language by applying the rules.

Which of the following best complete the given statement?

A) Direct / implicit

B) Inductive / deductive

C) Discovery / inquiry

D) Deductive / inductive

E) Meaning-based / deductive

ANSWER: “Deductive ve inductive teaching”, genelde gramer öğretiminde bahsedilen iki yaklaşımdır. “Deduc-tive teaching’de dilbilgisi kuralları öğrenciye doğrudan formulize edilerek verilir ve ardından kuralların uygu-lamalı bir şekilde cümle içinde kullanıldığı form-odaklı aktiviteler yapılır. “Inductive teaching”de ise öğretilmesi amaçlanan dilbilgisi kuralları anlamlı bir metin içinde öğ-renciye “present” edilir. Öğrenci kuralı ve anlamını bağ-lamdan çıkarım yaparak buluş yoluyla öğrenir.

The answer is B.

Which of the following explanations cannot be true about deductive teaching?

A) It supports the idea that language is rule-based rather than meaning-focused.

B) In deductive teaching rules are given to the students, and they are expected to apply the rules to the examples.

C) Deductive teaching includes interaction, so it is used in the Audio-lingual Method and Communicative Language Teaching.

D) If a teachers first presents the structures of a sentence directly before presenting a text or a dialogue, s/he has selected deductive approach.

E) It might be more suitable to present structures deductively when the students do not possess a specific cognitive style for analyzing the language in the context.

ANSWER: "Deductive approach" dili, yapıları doğrudan açıklayarak öğretme amacı güden, kuralı doğrudan ve-rerek daha sonra cümle içinde uygulatan yaklaşımdır. Bununla ilgili şıklarda doğru olmayan seçenek C'dir. Audio-lingual Method ve Communicative Language Te-aching iletişime odaklandığı ve anlam odaklı olduğu için "deductive approach" kullanılmaz.

The answer is C.

1.8.2. Teaching Vocabulary: The frequently used vocabulary teaching technique is to provide lists of isolated words with their meanings in the students’ first language. The unknown words can also be given with their synonyms and antonyms. Then, the students are asked to memorize them. The new words are never taught in a meaningful context. Another common way to teach words is the use of cognates.

Cognates are the words in two different languages, which have similar spelling and pronunciation.

It is divided into two:

1. True Cognates: These are the words in two languages that have similar spelling and pronunciation and the same meaning (e.g., cinema – sinema; theatre – tiyatro).

2. False Cognates: This time, the cognates have different meanings in the two languages (e.g., complex (meaning complicated in English) – kompleks (spor kompleksi or kompleks).
