Overview of Language Teaching Methods

The document describes several language teaching methods: The Grammar-Translation Method involves students memorizing verb forms and applying grammar rules to examples. The Direct Method uses only the target language and visual aids, with the teacher correcting errors by having students choose. The Audio-Lingual Method bans grammar rules, teaching through examples and drills with praise for correct answers. Total Physical Response features the teacher giving commands for students to act out, repeating when errors are made or using new commands. The Communicative Approach involves role plays, language games, and the teacher offering advice by moving between groups. The Silent Way teaches through gestures and sometimes native language instructions without speaking.
