For this reason, many FALE students often find themselves rather confused about which paths to take and they just do not know how to set about it. The field of applied linguistics is related to language learning and teaching, translation, language technologies among other areas and it is one of those many options available that a great number of students would like to go into. However, it can be very daunting for undergraduates who want to pursue a career in language teaching because most of the times they simply do not know what awaits them when they finally become a language teacher. Those students usually wonder which teaching methods and approaches they should apply and most importantly, how they could be applied. <span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b></div>ejournal ufmghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09153473197178734988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641399895115585886.post-79178856043977943272010-11-29T07:04:00.000-08:002010-11-29T16:38:41.274-08:00The Natural Approach<div align="justify" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">Jack Richards and Theodore Rodgers, based on Terrel and Krashens’ theories, affirm that the <i>Natural Approach</i> is an acquisition process that does not focus much on practice, but on exposure or <i>input </i>to the target language<i>. </i>The purpose of this theory is to enable students to acquire a second language. Its creators use the term “natural” because it has to do with the natural process of how children learn their first language. <span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">It is based on these five main hypotheses: the acquisition/learning, the monitor, the natural order hypothesis, the <i>input </i>and the effective filter.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The <i>Acquisition</i> is distinguished from <i>Learning.</i> Acquisition is the unconscious part of language. It is a natural process that focuses on transmission of a message, in other words, meaningful communication. On contrast, <i>Learning</i> has to do with conscious processes of language that is constructed by grammatical rules in order to verbalize the knowledge concerning these grammatical rules and forms.</span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The <i>Monitor</i> hypothesis supports that conscious learning works as a way to correct our mistakes when we create utterances in the learner language when communicating. It functions as an editor since the learner has been taught about grammatical structures of the language in vogue. It has been defended that it works well since the learner has enough time at his/her disposal; he/she focus on form to correct his/hers mistakes and on knowledge of rules. </span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The <i>Natural Order</i> claims that the structure of language, regardless of what your mother tongue is, follows a predictable “natural order”. As it was proved by studies, morphemes are learned first than other structures. Trial and error occur during language acquisition and naturalistic developmental process, but it does not occur in the learning. </span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The <i>Input Hypothesis</i> seeks to explain how a person acquires language and for this purpose Krashen suggests that acquiring a second language involves the ‘<i>natural communicative input’, </i>in other words, the form like children acquire their mother tongue. They use extralinguistic information, context and knowledge of the world around them as an attempt to make comprehension. It is relevant to point out that these processes do not happen all of a sudden. </span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The <i>Effective Filter</i> has to do with the learner emotional attitude toward language acquisition. There are three kinds of ‘effective variables’ that facilitate language acquisition which are: self confidence, motivation and anxiety. Krashen believes that people with low effective filter make the <i>input</i> possible, in addition, receive and seek it. It is possible because they “interact with more confidence” (pg.133). In contrast, people with high affective filter block or impede the <i>input, </i>preventing it.</span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">In conclusion, the <i>Natural Approach</i> is not a method in which starts from the acquisition process and goes to the learning process. It was created to help beginners start the learning process of a desirable second language. It is an attempt to enable students to understand the speaker of the target language. This method is not based on grammar or syntax, but on meaning, and communication. If a learner creates a non grammatical utterance it does not matter. The purpose is to have in mind some lexicon that can make communication possible, even if it occurs in a primary way. </span></span></span></span></div><div align="justify" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"></div><div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;"><br />

The Audio - lingual Method and the grammar – translation method weren’t successful to the learning and teaching approach. These methods didn’t interact the student with language in a realistic way, so students had difficult when they were exposed to real life situations. Through this fact, teachers and linguistics developed the method that will make students participate to real situations activities and the language will be a way to interact to the world, the communicative approach.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">The Communicative Approach</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">In the past, the learning process of a second language (L2) was restricted to rules of grammar and the student were guide by the teacher to learn a correct structure of the L2. The communicative approach changed the learning method, now students are more free to lead the classes and be more closed to the reality of the L2.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The interaction must to be simple and direct, student can speak in their first day if they want to. Read, write and listening are mechanisms are learning that are taught together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Teachers become facilitator’s rather leading classes; the main point is to interact student to situations that they live. Dialogues are stimulated to be focus on their interaction to the world and the grammar is not evaluated separately.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The objective is to make students feel comfortable to the language and be able to communicate without the focus on grammar meaning and use. Even when students commit common errors of collocations, they are not corrected since in real life situations common error can happened all the time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The pronunciation is as important as the speaking process. Songs and games make student feel more secure when they deal with exercises, the main goal is to students don’t be afraid of take a conversation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Activities are taught in pair or groups, the interaction to language is preparing them to interact with the society.</span></div><br />

<p$1><span lang="EN-US">The Audiolingual Method (ALM) was widely used in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> and other countries in the 1950's and 1960's. Particular emphasis was laid on mastering the building blocks of language and learning the rules for combining them. The theory of learning was the Behaviorism, including the principles that language learning is habit-formation, that mistakes are bad and should be avoided, as they make bad habits; that language skills are learned more effectively if they are presented orally first, then in written form; that analogy is a better foundation for language learning than analysis, and that the meanings of words can be learned only in a linguistic and cultural context, according to Lingua Links Library<sup>(1)</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></p$1></div><p$1><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 53.85pt;"><p$1><span lang="EN-US">This method, the ALM, is still used in some programs today, in situations where one of the prime objectives of learning English is to take and achieve successful results in a variety of tests, and where many learners are not intrinsically motivated to learn English but do so because they need to, the method is not without merits, according to English Raven<sup>(2)</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></p$1></div><p$1><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 53.85pt;"><p$1><span lang="EN-US">The Audiolingual Method represents a major step in language teaching methodology that is aimed squarely at communicative competence. The behavioral psychologists dictated the various ways for the drills to be repeated in order to create an effective habit-forming process.

In this article, we will provide our readers with the basic features of the <b>Task- Based Learning</b> method, known as <b>TBL</b>. In general lines, the procedure goes like the following: the teacher gives learners a task to perform and they are not supposed to discuss language until the task has been completed. Then, usually, the teacher analyzes the language and makes corrections based on what the students’ performance showed to be necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">According to Jeremy Harmer (2007) there are two versions of the Task-Based Learning method. In one of them, students perform the tasks and focus on language form while they do the tasks and/or as a result of having done them. In the second one, the teacher provides students with some of the language to do the tasks before they perform them. Despite the differences, both TBL approaches have got the performance of meaningful tasks as a central feature to the learning process. The idea is that students are able to learn if they are focused on the completion of a task as effectively as if they were focused on language form. As a consequence, instead of concentrating on language structure and function, in TBL students face a task to do or a problem to solve.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Nonetheless, it is important to point out that TBL is not just about doing a task after another, as Jane Willis (1996) asserts. Otherwise, students would gain fluency but not accuracy. It is crucial for the success of the method that the teacher follows the three basic stages that compose the method as carefully as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">First of all, there is the <b>Pre-Task</b> stage which consists of the teacher introducing and exploring the topic as well as highlighting useful words and phrases. For that, techniques such as brainstorming, mind maps, matching phases to pictures, classifying words and phrases and choosing the odd one out can be used. Some very effective materials are recordings and videos of native speakers performing a similar task, which may also be used to give instructions. Texts related to the topic are another alternative. By using these, TBL promotes exposure, one of the four basic conditions for learning a language.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The second stage is the <b>Task Cycle.</b> It offers students the chance of using language they already know while performing the task. They are also given the opportunity of improving that language as they plan their reports of the task to the classroom. Students do the task in pairs or in small groups while the teacher monitors them. It is crucial that the teacher, especially if not used to TBL, does not teach during the task stage, unless there is a major communication problem. To avoid that, instructions must have been very clear during the first stage, as well as the topic introduction. If necessary, students might be exposed to useful language during the planning and the reporting phases, after the task has been completed. By this time, students will have experienced other two basic conditions for learning: motivation and use.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Reports are important because that is when students start worrying more about accuracy rather than fluency, because they must produce an intelligible discourse. Reports might be written or oral and some purpose ideas for them are:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

The teacher then can examine and discuss specific structures that were used during the task and correct students’ mistakes and slips. The teacher gives students practice on these features, such as drillings, listening and completing, gap-filling, progressive deletion, unpacking a sentence, memory challenge, dictionary exercises and computer games.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

According to the last one, only after the Task Cycle students’ attention is directed to language form, whereas in PPP it comes first. Another difference is that in PPP a context for grammar teaching must be invented and in TBL it is already provided since students have already worked on its meaning and usage. Plus, the PPP method goes from accuracy to fluency. On the other hand, TBL goes from fluency to accuracy which might be more interesting and funnier to students. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

However, there are some simple activities, such as bingo, memory game, odd one out, “Simon Says”, classifying and guessing games that can be used and do not require complex structures.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

<p$1><p$1><p$1><span lang="EN-US">As far as language teaching is concerned, there has been a great deal of research carried out by linguists from all over the world and many theories and methods on how languages are best learnt have been put forward. Some have indeed proved to be very successful ways of learning a <i>second language </i>(L2), becoming very popular in L2 classrooms around the world. Among many methods, the PPP is a successful one and is widely used throughout the world by many <i>English as a Foreign Language</i> (EFL) and <i>English as a Second Language</i> (ESL) teachers. Every PPP lesson has a language aim, which students should fulfill by the end of it. It is a modern equivalent of the audio-lingualism method, which dates back to the 1940s. Not only can the PPP be applied to teach grammar items, but it can also be used to teach functions, vocabulary and even pronunciation. In a PPP lesson there are three stages: first, the teacher presents the target language; then, students practise the new language items; and finally they use their own ideas to talk about themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><p$1><p$1><p$1><p$1></p$1></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><p$1><p$1><p$1><span lang="EN-US">The presentation phase usually consists of two steps: an introductory activity such as a warm-up or a lead-in, which is an activity intended to raise students’ interest in the topic; and an introduction of the target language. For example, if the aim of the lesson is to teach the <i>present continuous for arrangements, </i>the lesson could start with a warmer in which the teacher elicits some activities the students enjoy doing at the weekends. Then, the suggested ideas are written on the board and the teacher helps with any pronunciation problems there might be during this step. After that, the teacher could write the students' ideas on the board to present the <i>present continuous</i>. The teacher chooses some of them and talks about his/her own arrangements for the weekend. While the teacher presents the new language items, the students just listen. This way, the <i>present continuous</i> is being presented in a contextualised way, which is very important at the presentation stage of the lesson. <o:p></o:p></span></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><p$1><p$1><p$1></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><p$1><p$1><p$1><span lang="EN-US">In the practice stage, the focus is on form. The teacher provides opportunities for students to practise the learnt items in a controlled way. This is a chance for the students to use what they have learnt without making mistakes, so it is of the utmost importance that at this moment of the lesson, the students are monitored and all mistakes are corrected. A common controlled activity is a choral drill, in which students repeat the sentences on the board, using <i>the present continuous</i>. Then, the teacher explains the grammatical use of the new language referring the <i>present continuous </i>to its function: <i>making future arrangements</i>. After that, he/she asks the students conceptual questions, that is, questions to check whether they have understood the use of the language. For instance, '<i>What am I going to do on Saturday morning? How about on Saturday evening?' </i>etc. Students can then carry out another restricted activity such as a written gap-filling in which they fill in the gaps of sentences with the <i>present continuous</i> form of the verbs in brackets. It's necessary though, that students have the chance to practise, through restricted exercises, at the beginning and at the end of the practice stage.</span></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

The production stage focuses on fluency and provides students with an opportunity to personalise the language learnt by doing less controlled tasks, that is, by using their own ideas. A good production exercise for the described lesson is: the teacher gives a copy of a blank weekly schedule for students to complete with some arrangements and activities of their own. Then, students work in pairs, asking about what they are doing at specific days and times of the week and which arrangements they have. To make this freer practice more interesting and interactive, the students could try to find out each other's free time in their timetables and make arrangements between themselves. It is extremely important that students use what they have learnt in very communicative tasks.</span></p$1></p$1></p$1></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Furthermore, many modern coursebooks contain examples of PPP lessons which have retained elements of structural-situation methodology and audio-lingualism. Harmer adds that there is a general consensus that PPP is just one method among many, not taking into consideration other ways of learning. It is very learning-based and takes little account of students’ acquisition abilities. However, I strongly believe that once the lesson is finished and your students have actually achieved its aim, having been able to produce language in an meaningful way, it means that the method applied was successful and effective, and only then will the teacher feel that learning has really taken place.</span></p$1></p$1></p$1><br />
