  2. Unit 1. Language Teaching Methodology Language Teaching Methodology Defined Methodology in language teaching has been characterized in a variety of ways. A more or less classical formulation suggests that methodology is that which links theory and practice. Theory statements would include theories of what language is and how language is learned or, more specifically, theories of second language acquisition (SLA). Such theories are linked to various design features of language instruction. These design features might include stated objectives, syllabus specifications, types of activities, roles of teachers, learners, materials, and so forth. This whole complex of elements defines language teaching methodology.

  3. Unit 1. Language Teaching Methodology BASIC TEACHING METHODS • Situational Language Teaching • Audio-lingualism • Communicative Language Teaching • Total Physical Response • Community Language Learning • The Natural Approach • Suggestopedia

  4. Unit 1. Language Teaching Methodology NEW TEACHING METHODS • Teacher/Learner Collaborates • Method Synergistics • Curriculum Developmentalism • Content-Basics • Multintelligencia • Total Functional Response • Strategopedia • Lexical Phraseology • O-zone Whole Language

  5. Unit 2. Listen and Do activities: Animal Walk Target language: animals, numbers Resources: a dice for eachteam of players Preparation: if you do the activity in the classroom, move the desks and chairs to the walls. It can also be played, for example, in the gym or playground. Time guide: 10 minutes +

  6. Unit 2. Listen and do activities: animal walk Activity: write 2 sets of numbers 1-6 on the board. Add names or pictures of six different animals next to the first set of numbers. For example: Animalnumber of stomps, hops, strides • Frog 1 • Elephant 2 • Mouse 3 • Ostrich 4 • Monkey 5

  7. Unit 2. Listen and Do activities: Animal Walk

  8. Unit 2. Listen and Do activities: Animal Walk Point to the list of animals. Ask the learners or mime how these animals walk. Do the stomps (heavy step), hop (all or both feet together) or stride (long steps)? Are their steps long or short, narrow or wide? For example, the frog hops, the elephant stomps with big and wide steps, etc.

  9. Unit 2. Listen and do activities: animal walk Mark the start at one end of the classroom and the finish line at the other end. Tell the learners to line up the start. Roll the dice once and speak to the learner in the line, for example: Teacher: It’s a one. Bonnie, what’s a one? Point an the list of animals. Bonnie: Frog. Teacher: Yes, it’s a frog. Roll the dice for the second time. It’s a three. Hop three times forward like a frog.

  10. Unit 2. Listen and Do activities: Animal Walk The learner makes three hops forward like a frog. Invite the next learner in the line to play. Roll the dice and continue the activity in the same way. The aim of the game is to be the first one to cross the finish line. When the learners become more confident, let them also roll the dice.

  11. Unit 2. Listen and do activities: animal walk Variations: • Play the game in groups of four or five. • Let learners to make their own list of animals. • Make the activity more challenging, for example, using a 12-sided dice or having the list of animals more playful or unusual.

  12. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers Target language: ordinal numbers – first, second, third; rhyme Resources: none Preparation: practice saying the rhyme Time guide: 10 minutes +

  13. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers Rhyme: The first one said: Let’s go to bed. The second one said: Let’s play instead. The third one said: Let’s eat some bread. The fourth one heard: what said the third. The little one cried: Let’s go and hide.

  14. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers Activity 1. Invite the learners to play with their fingers. Tell them to show you how they wiggle them, open them wide, make a fist, snap their fingers, etc. Point at your finger and say: ‘my first finger’, ‘my second finger’, my third finger’, etc. Get the learners to join you and point at their fingers, too.

  15. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers

  16. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers

  17. Unit 3. Listen and Do activities: Fingers Ask the learners to put some fingers together. Say, for example, ‘put the second fingers together’, put the fourth fingers together. Make it more difficult by asking them to use a different finger on each hand, for example, ‘put the first finger on your right hand and the fifth finger on your left hand together’.

  18. Unit 4. Listen and Do Activities: Blindfold Walk Target language: giving directions Resources: board, scarf Preparation: none This activity is described for the classroom. A playground or hall are also suitable Time guide: 20 minutes +

  19. Unit 4. Listen and Do Activities: Blindfold Walk Activity: • Ask the class to help you move the desks and chairs to the walls to create a space in the middle. For example: we need some more space today, can you help me to movethe desks and chairs? Let’s be quite. • Invite the learners to come and stand in the middle of the room. Make sure everyone has enough space around them. Givesimple directions and move yourself.

  20. Unit 4. Listen and Do Activities: Blindfold Walk

  21. Unit 4. Listen and Do Activities: Blindfold Walk

  22. Unit 4. Listen and Do Activities: Blindfold Walk 3. Elicit from the learners which instructions they remember and ask them to show what they mean. 4. Ask a confident student to give directions to the rest of the class. 5. Put the class into small groups and tell them to take turns giving directions.

  23. Unit 5. Activities using recourses: Memory Game Language: revising recently learned vocabulary Resources: poster-sized paper. You could use the back of the pre-printed poster. With a big class you may need to prepare two identical posters. Preparation: make a poster with 12 хшсегкуы за the words you want to revise, for example:

  24. Unit 5. Activities using recourses: Memory Game

  25. Unit 5. Activities using recourses: Memory Game Activity: 1. Tell the class that they are going to see a poster with some pictures on it with the words that they have recently learnt. They must look at tall the pictures quickly and remember as many as possible. Place the poster (s) so that all the learners can see it (them) easily. If you need two posters, place them on opposite walls of the classroom.

  26. Unit 5. Activities using recourses: Memory Game 2. Ask the learners to stand around the poster and look at the pictures. Tell them nor t to write anything, but just to look carefully at all pictures on the poster for one minute. 3. After one minute, remove or cover up the posters.

It may take a term to make a large and varied collection, to tell the class to start collecting at the beginning of term. When the class has collected enough packaging to fill a box per group of four learners, you can organize a shopping activity. Each group arranges their selection of packaging as in a shop on a desk. In turn, one learner from each group stays behind the desk as the shopkeeper. The rest of the class visit the other ‘shops’ and ask for what they want to buy.

  34. Unit 6. Activities using recourses: Packaging 4. Each group writes out some questions based on the information on their pieces of packaging. Then they exchange questions and packaging with another group. Each group reads the new packaging to answer the questions given.
