TEFL
The method prioritizes accuracy over fluency, and it emphasizes the development of reading and
writing skills above speaking abilities. The disadvantage of this technique is that it does not
equip students with the ability to communicate spontaneously. Grammar drills, vocab exams, and
encouraging pupils to incorporate new grammar principles in standardised writing projects are
common classroom exercises.
7. Audiolingualism
This method of instruction was created in response to some of the issues with Grammar-
Translation. As a result, sessions are typically held in the target language, as this technique aims
to emphasize speaking and listening abilities.
Students usually repeat the teacher's sentences until they have the pronunciation and rhythm
correct (either face-to-face or through headphones in a language lab). The educator recognizes
and rewards good work, and mistakes are immediately remedied.
