What teaching methods have you seen or used? by Randall Sadler https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL 1. Tell us, VERY briefly about the method or approach. 2. How does it “look” in a classroom? 3. Have you ever seen it used? 4. What do you think of it? en-us 2018-07-02 16:52:15 UTC 2018-07-03 20:30:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Community Language Learning(CLL) https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL/wish/269300938 Da-hae & Youn
1. In this method, a group of 8-12 students sit in a circle. Students whisper what they want to say in foreign language in their mother tongue to the teacher, whose role is a counselor. Once the teacher offers the equivalent utterance by also whispering, the student attempts to repeat it.

2. Whispering might make students feel bored and make classroom quiet. 

3. I have never seen it before.

4. If the teacher is only one, he or she will be too busy of answering for many word questions. To make this method effective, the number of teacher should be more than just one.]]> 2018-07-03 19:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL/wish/269300938 Communicative Language Teaching https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL/wish/269301018 Jungwoo & Sejung

3. No I haven't (We have seen only on YouTube)
4. 
-I doubt it will be helpful as their language skill improves.
-It can be helpful to students because they can learn language voluntarily. However it takes long time to learning, so I think sometimes it could be hard.

1.  TPR(Total Physical Response) was a language teaching method built around the coordination of speech and action; in attempted to teach language through physical activity.

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f7GxA084EI

It looks more effective than just teaching by rote.

3.  I used this method in English academy when I was elementary school student. As professor says, this method is similar to "Simon says" game.  

4. This method's ultimate aim was to teach basic speaking skills. It makes student remember words more effective than just memorizing. Because students understand words with their real action.
However. it also has little difficult aspects, because abstract words can be difficult to express through action.]]> 2018-07-03 19:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL/wish/269301333 Natural Approach https://padlet.com/randallsadler/TESL/wish/269301522 1.

- Lower Anxiety

-Learning a language means acquiring habits.
- Language was divided in the four s kills : listening, speaking, reading, and finally writing.
- The use of language is a "habit" that needs a lot of practice.
- Dialogues were used for repetition and memorization.
- The correction of pronunciation, stress, rhythm and intonation were emphasized.
