  5. TheorySource: Richards, J. C., Platt, J., & Platt, H. (1992). Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (2nd ed.). Harlow, Essex: Longman Group UK Limited. • A statement of a general principle, based upon reasoned argument and supported by evidence, that is intended to explain a particular fact, event or phenomenon. • A Theory is more strongly supported by evidence than a hypothesis. • The part of a science or art that deals with general principles and methods as opposed to practice: a set or rules or principles for the study of a subject Teresa Navés tnaves@.ub.edu Universitat de Barcelona

  6. ApproachSource: Richards, J. C., Platt, J., & Platt, H. (1992). Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (2nd ed.). Harlow, Essex: Longman Group UK Limited based on Anthony, 1963 and Richards and Rodgers 1986 • Language teaching is something discussed in terms of three related aspects: approach, method and technique • Different theories about the nature of langauge and how languages are learned (the approach) imply different ways of teaching language (the method) and different methods make use of different kinds of classroom activities (the tecniques) Teresa Navés tnaves@.ub.edu Universitat de Barcelona

  7. Approach (II)Source: Richards, J. C., Platt, J., & Platt, H. (1992). Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (2nd ed.).

  15. Grammar Translation Method (II) Source: Richards, J. C., Platt, J., & Platt, H. (1992). Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (2nd ed.). Harlow, Essex: Longman Group UK based on Howwat, 1983 Kelly 1969 • A typical lesson consists of the preparation of a grammatical rule, a study of lists of vocabulary and a translation exercise. • Because the GTM emphasizes reading rather than the ability to communicate in language there was a reaction to it in the 19th century. Teresa Navés tnaves@.ub.edu Universitat de Barcelona

  16. Grammar Translation Method (III) • It is teacher-centered • It is usually regarded as non-communicative, non-motivational • It may be still be used today because of hte lack of pressure put on hte teacher, who is not required to speak the L2. • The only thing students may walk away in this method is the ability to read and interpret text Teresa Navés tnaves@.ub.edu Universitat de Barcelona
