Today is the 4th week to study Curriculum and Learning
Management in English subject. Today I learned about teaching methods and today
my friends presents 4 methods in the class, such as : Culture Teaching,
Communicative Language Teaching, Teaching English using ICT (web based learning),
and Teaching Vocabulary.
First, : Culture Teaching, Of all the changes
that have affected language teaching theory and method in recent years, the
greatest may be the transformation in the role of culture. This change reflects
a broader transformation in the way that culture itself is understood. In
this understanding of "deep culture," language and culture are
integral to one another. The structure of language and the ways it is used
reflect the norms and values that members of a culture share. And Communicative
Language Teaching The origins of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) are found in
the changes in the British language teaching tradition in the late 1960s.•
Situational Language Teaching (SLT) was the major approach to teaching English
as a FL.• Language was taught by practicing basic structures in meaningful
situation-based activities.• British applied linguists rejected the theoretical
assumptions underlying SLL because the focus on language teaching was the
mastery of structures rather than on communicative proficiency.
Second, Teaching English using ICT (web based learning) Develop
skills in designing English writing tasks for blended learning through the use
of ICT; Develop a global perspective when connected using ICT, particularly use
of ICT to enhance writing skills after class and identifying appropriate online
activities to practise written communication with native and non-native
speakers; Develop critical thinking and reflective thinking skills when
discussing and debating innovative practice with technology integration for
language learning and teaching; Develop problem-solving skills when acquiring
technical knowledge and skills when designing English teaching and learning
activities through ICTs.
Last, Teaching Vocabulary, Vocabulary is
the knowledge of words and word meanings. As Steven Stahl (2005) puts it,
"Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only
implies a definition, but also implies how that word fits into the world."
Vocabulary knowledge is not something that can ever be fully mastered; it is
something that expands and deepens over the course of a lifetime. Instruction
in vocabulary involves far more than looking up words in a dictionary and using
the words in a sentence. Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect
exposure to words and intentionally through explicit instruction in specific
words and word-learning strategies.
Things I have learn today is Culture Teaching, Communicative Language Teaching,
Teaching English using ICT (web based learning), and Teaching Vocabulary. It
can make to more understand to how to teach the student in my future.
