Method principle way technique teaching aid system of teaching approach

Main methodological categories

Method means a system of purposeful teacher-learner activities combined with learning activities of pupils which provides the achievements of communicative, educational and cultural aims of F.L.T.

*******

A technique is an elementary methodological act directed at solving a particular teaching task at a lesson.

*******

The term “way” is used in methodological literature as a synonym to the word “technique”, especially in the following phrases: ways of teaching reading, of presentation of new words, etc.

The difference, though a slight one, lies in the fact that “ technique ” in most cases refers us to a teacher’s activities while “ a way ” lays a special emphasis on a pupil’s activities.

*******

Approach is a strategy of F.L.T. In modern Methods we are supposed to differentiate between 4 general approaches:

I. behavioristic approach presupposes formation of habits by means of their multiple mechanical repetition;

II. conscious-inductive approach is based on the intensive work at numerous techniques which deeply results in assimilation of language rules and acts of speech.

III. cognitive approach is realized in assimilation of the theory of the target language in the form of phonetics, grammar and word-building rules.

IV. integrative approach naturally combines conscious and subconscious components of structure of teaching and thus provides the parallel assimilation of knowledge and speech habits.
