Introduction
Many teaching approaches and strategies are available for us to make the delivery of our lessons more
effective, interesting and fun for our learners.
In using Hiligaynon as medium of instruction, we can use the following strategies and approaches.
Objectives
1. Discuss the benefits of knowing the different teaching strategies and approaches
2. Identify and discuss the major approaches to teaching MTB-MLE (i.e., Communicative Approach, Task-
Based, Content-Based Approaches; Two-track method: story track [focus on meaning] and primer track
[focus on accuracy])

Two-Track Method
A unique feature of MTB-MLE curriculum. It helps children build fluency and confidence in speaking. It
focuses on both meaning and accuracy in listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing.
Syllable Box
- Point to the key word and read it at normal speed.
- Point to each syllable as you read each syllable distinctly.
- Read each syllable again, clapping once for each syllable. Do this again and have the
students clap for each syllable with you.
2
Different Approaches in Teaching MTB-MLE
Break-the-word
- Write the key word on the left side under the syllable box. Read it to and then with
the students.
- Write the new letter directly under the new letter above. Read it to and with the
students.
- Continue writing each smaller part of the word and reading it to and with students.
- Write the new letter directly under the new letter above. Read the new letter to and
then with the students.
- Read the whole Break-the-word column with students.
Make-the-word
- Write the new letter to the right of the break the word column and read the new
letter with the students.
- Write the part of the word with the new letter so the new letters are in a straight
column. Then read that part of the word with the students.
- Follow that pattern, using as many steps as you did with the break the word activity.
- Finally, Write the entire word so the new letters are in a straight column and read the
word with the students.
Students read the key word, syllable box, break the word and make the word together,
volunteers; read alone.
2. Big Box
- Students read letters/syllables as you point to them.
- Students find the new key word in the Big Box.
- Students find other words in the big box
3. Sentence Making
Break-the-Sentence
- Write the sentence making word. Point to it and read it with the students. Tell them
you will use this word to make a sentence.
- Write the whole sentence under the big box towards the left side
- Move the pointer smoothly under the sentence as you read it with students
- Write the part of the sentence with the sentence making word so that the word is
directly under the same word above
- Write the next smaller part of the sentence. Use the pointer as you read that part of
the sentence with the students
- Write the sentence-making word by itself so it is directly under the same words in
the rows above. Read it with the students.
Make-the-Sentence
- Tell the students, “Now we will make the sentence again”
- Write the sentence making word under the big box but on the right side

4. Handwriting
a. Students practice writing the new letter
- air 3-4 times (large)
- palm 3-4 times
- notebooks 10 times
b. Students practice writing the new keyword
- chalkboard 3-4 times (large)
- notebooks 10 times
- walk around and help anyone having trouble
B. STORY TRACK
Shared Reading
a. Introduce the Shared Reading Story
- introduce the story topic. Ask the students about people and events from their
own lives that encourage them to think about and talk about the topic of the
story
- Have your pointer ready to move under the words as you read.
b. Read the Story
- Read the title of the story. Ask 1-2 students to tell you what they think the story
will be about. Encourage them to share their stories.
- Open to the first picture. Ask the students to say what they see. Read the text for
that page, moving the pointer smoothly under the text as you read.
- Do the same for each page, stopping 2 to 3 times you ask, “What do you think
will happen next?”
- After reading the story, ask students some questions: “What happened in the
story?” Why do you think that happened?” “What part of the story did you like
best?” “Why did you like that part best?”
- Then read the story following Steps 2-5 of the Reading plan. Move the pointer
smoothly under the words as you and the students read.

Pick up the matching word cards that you prepared. Open to the page with the words
that match your word cards.
- Give the matching word cards to volunteers.
- Volunteers put their cards under the word on the page that is the same as the word on
their card. When they have matched the word correctly, read the word with them, and
have everyone clap. Help them if they have trouble.

b. For Chomsky the focus of linguistics was to describe the linguistic competence that
enables speakers to produce grammatically correct sentences. Dell Hymes held, however,
that such a view of linguistic theory was sterile and that it failed to picture all the aspects of
language. He advocated the need of a theory that incorporates communication
competence. It must be a definition of what a speaker needs to know in order to be
communicatively competent in a speech community. Later Canale and Swaine (1980)
described four dimensions of communicative competence.
Learning theory
Acquiring or learning?

Different Approaches in Teaching MTB-MLE
Stephen Krashen later advocated in his language learning theory that there should be a
distinction between learning and acquiring. He sees acquisition as the basic process
involved in developing language proficiency and distinguishes this process from learning.
Acquisition is an unconscious process that involves the naturalistic development of
language proficiency while learning is the conscious internalization of the rules of language.
It results in explicit knowledge about the forms of language and the ability to verbalize this
• The most obvious characteristic of CLT is that almost everything that is done
is done with communicative intent.
Merits of CLT
Criticism
• Notional syllabus was criticized as merely replacing one kind of list, namely a
list of grammatical structures, with another list of notions and functions.

• The requirements are difficult. Not all classrooms can allow for group work
activities and for teaching aids and materials.
In spite of its critics, CLT has gained widespread acceptance in the world of language study.
CLT can succeed, as long as teachers don’t completely reject the need for the structure
provided by grammar. Teachers must strive for moderation and shouldn’t neglect the merits
of other methods. CLT, in the hands of a balanced teacher, can bring new life and joy to the
classroom. Its vitality makes it an important contributor to language learning approaches

The task-based teaching approach is one of many modern ESL teaching methods and focuses on setting
a goal for students — this could be a report, a video, or a presentation — and then following three main
steps to achieve that goal.
1. The pre-task
During this stage, which can take up a whole lesson if needed, the teacher introduces the task to the
students and gets them motivated to solve it. Once everyone is engaged, the teacher should explain
what is expected for the task.
Verbal explanations can be supported by an example from the teacher or by showing a previous
student’s work. The teacher can then give further instructions if needed and offer advice on how to
approach the task.
2. The task
This is the main stage of task-based learning, where students start working on the task, usually in groups
or pairs. This stage is done in the target language so that students feel the need to use the language
they want to learn in order to solve the task.
The teacher doesn’t usually join in the work process. Instead, he or she will monitor the students and
offer hints if students really need support.
12
Different Approaches in Teaching MTB-MLE
Once the students have completed the task and have something to present, the review stage, also
known as the post-task, starts.
It’s a good idea to let students evaluate each other’s work and only offer a teacher review of frequently-
made errors during the task. Peer correction could be carried out in the form of comments, feedback
discussions, or a checklist with additional room for free commentary.
The review stage offers students the opportunity to reflect on their work and analyze it in order to
improve their skills for the future.
As an English teacher, you will not get around the “boring stuff,” such as grammar drills and vocabulary
work. You also have to keep in mind that your students need to practice all four skills: writing, reading,
speaking, and listening.
However, keeping the drills and language exercises to a necessary minimum and including more task-
based learning in your curriculum can help students use the target language immediately and retain
words and grammar points more effectively.
Greeting and warm-up: While the students are settling in, you can play a song that’s popular among
your students. You can let them sing along if they know the song well!
Assign the task and give instructions: “Create your own music video in groups of 4-5 students using a
song of your choice. Everybody has to have a role, from managing the camera to coming up with
choreography to performing in the video. You have this lesson for planning and the next lesson for
filming. We will watch all of the videos in the third lesson and give feedback to each other.”
Do the task: Let students gather in groups and start planning their video. Monitor their language and
teamwork, and take notes. Make sure that everybody is engaged and involved and that there are no
students who are just standing by.
Review: Before the lesson ends, give brief and motivating feedback to the students, and praise them for
their efforts and their use of the language. Remind the students to be ready to start filming during the
next lesson.
Greeting and warm-up: Call out each student’s name and show each of them a card with a different
word on it. It could be “dog,” “play,” “boy,” “girl,” “sunny,” etc. Have each student read their word out
loud.
Assign the task and give instructions: “Create a short story that includes all of the words I gave you just
now. You can decide the order of the words and how you use them in your story. You can add as many
words and plot twists as you like. Each student has to contribute at least one sentence. Please start.”
13
Different Approaches in Teaching MTB-MLE
Do the task: Watch the students on camera and take notes. If communication between them comes to a
standstill, you can provide some support by asking questions, such as “What do you think could happen
next?” or “Who can come up with the next idea?” or “Who wants to include their word next?” Your
support should encourage the students to participate without giving them an idea straight away. Finally,
have the students write down the story that they created. They can then take turns reading it out loud,
one sentence at a time.
Review: Praise your students for their effort and teamwork, and applaud their story. Let the students
have time for self-reflection and respond to questions such as “What did you do especially well today?”
or “What would you like to improve for next time?”

There are many ways to approach creating a CBI lesson. This is one possible way.
Preparation
Find three or four suitable sources that deal with different aspects of the subject. These could be
websites, reference books, audio or video of lectures or even real people.
Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a small research task and a source of
information to use to help them fulfil the task.
Then once they have done their research they form new groups with students that used other
information sources and share and compare their information.
There should then be some product as the end result of this sharing of information which could take the
form of a group report or presentation of some kind.
It can make learning a language more interesting and motivating. Students can use the language to fulfil
a real purpose, which can make students both more independent and confident.
14
Different Approaches in Teaching MTB-MLE
Students can also develop a much wider knowledge of the world through CBI which can feed back into
improving and supporting their general educational needs.
CBI is very popular among EAP (English for Academic Purposes) teachers as it helps students to develop
valuable study skills such as note taking, summarizing and extracting key information from texts.
Taking information from different sources, re-evaluating and restructuring that information can help
students to develop very valuable thinking skills that can then be transferred to other subjects.
The inclusion of a group work element within the framework given above can also help students to
develop their collaborative skills, which can have great social value.
Because CBI isn't explicitly focused on language learning, some students may feel confused or may even
feel that they aren't improving their language skills. Deal with this by including some form of language
focused follow-up exercises to help draw attention to linguistic features within the materials and
consolidate any difficult vocabulary or grammar points.
Particularly in monolingual classes, the overuse of the students' native language during parts of the
lesson can be a problem. Because the lesson isn't explicitly focused on language practice students find it
much easier and quicker to use their mother tongue. Try sharing your rationale with students and
explain the benefits of using the target language rather than their mother tongue.
It can be hard to find information sources and texts that lower levels can understand. Also the sharing of
information in the target language may cause great difficulties. A possible way around this at lower
levels is either to use texts in the students' native language and then get them to use the target
language for the sharing of information and end product, or to have texts in the target language, but
allow the students to present the end product in their native language. These options should reduce the
level of challenge.
Some students may copy directly from the source texts they use to get their information. Avoid this by
designing tasks that demand students evaluate the information in some way, to draw conclusions or
actually to put it to some practical use. Having information sources that have conflicting information can
also be helpful as students have to decide which information they agree with or most believe.

Instructional Plan
Instructional planning includes not only planning what students will learn, but how they will learn it.
Planning should include both short-term goals and long-term goals, and for students with
exceptionalities, should address the goals on their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Instructional
plans may include considerations of academic content, assistive or augmentative technology needs,
scaffolded supports, specific teaching strategies, and adaptations of or modifications to content.

When delivered with fidelity, well-planned instruction is designed to maximize academic learning time,
actively engage learners in meaningful activities, and emphasize proactive and positive approaches
across tiers of instructional intensity.

Introduction
Instructional materials, also known as teaching/learning materials (TLM),[1] are any collection of
materials including animate and inanimate objects and human and non-human resources that a teacher
may use in teaching and learning situations to help achieve desired learning objectives. Instructional
materials may aid a student in concretizing a learning experience so as to make learning more exciting,
interesting and interactive. They are tools used in instructional activities, which include active learning
and assessment. [2] The term encompasses all the materials and physical means an instructor might use
to implement instruction and facilitate students’ achievement of instructional objectives.
