3. How should language be taught? Give three basis for your answer.
We can teach language through a number of different approaches. I strongly believe that a
language teacher should not necessarily rely on just one approach and stick with it throughout
his/her teaching career. But combine different approaches which would best fit the group of
learners he/she is handling.
One of which is to teach it using the Direct Method by which the teacher’s role is to constantly
encourage the students to participate in class. This way the teacher can assign conversational
activities in class which would help in developing the students’ communication skills.
The role for teachers is to help students build bridges between their known and familiar ways of
using language and academic ways of using language. With that, teachers can use different
activities geared towards online learning and make use of familiar social media platforms which
would promote language learning.
As teachers, we can create engaging blended learning activities combining language apps and
video lessons in the face of new challenges. Teachers can further develop the e-learning field by
combining established tools and approaches with new innovations. Teachers and students alike
can rethink not only traditional methods of teaching and learning but also think of education
more broadly and the role of the digital world within this field.
