So what we're going to do is to run through a series of methodologies that were created mainly in the 1900s that adopted the idea that language learning should be much more communicative, much more natural. The first one is called audiolingualism and it's also called the army method because of where it was developed. Basically, psychology, during the 1950s and 60s, was building up new theories about behaviorism. Perhaps the most famous experiments that were done in this particular area were by Pavlov, where he was showing that most animals undergo a stimulus response mechanism and he had a series of famous experiments, where by ringing a bell, he could cause a dog to salivate, that would be his response, in the expectation of getting some food. This behaviorist idea of stimulus response was put into an actual teaching methodology. Basically, in the audiolingualism method these two parts of the name tell us what actually happens. "Audio" is to listen and lingual is to repeat. So what we do is a series of drills and these intensive verbal drills help us to get the use of the particular language.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
This unit's overview of teaching methods was quite interesting. However, what I found most useful where the ideas for activities to do with your students during class. Although I have heard of many of these, or variations of them, there were a few new ones I would like to try. In particular, I like the idea of using the consequence game. It is similar to a game I recal playing as a child and I believe it could be both fun and educational for my students.This unit focused mainly on evaluating and testing. There are many different kinds of tests. The correct test must be taken in order to get the desired result. I learned that it is important to note that tests can take on many different forms, such as tutorials, evaluations, written tests, and so forth. It mentioned that tests should also be taken at the correct stage in a course, to make sure that students results are a fair reflection of the knowledge.
