WHAT ARE APPROACHES AND METHODS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

What are methods and approaches?

Approach and method are two important concepts in performing any task. These
two factors can actually decide the success of your task. Approach is the way
you are going to approach the project. Method is the way in which you are going
to complete the project. This is the main difference between. approach and
method.

In other words approach sets the general rule or general principle to make
learning possible. A method, on the other hand, is an organized, orderly,
systematic, and well- planned procedure aimed at facilitating and enhancing
students' learning.

For example In the expression 'needs a new approach', the word 'approach' has
the sense of 'a way of dealing with a person or a thing'. A method on the other
hand is a word meaning 'a way' or 'a process'. It refers to the manner in which a
work is executed. This is the main difference between approach and method.

. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN APPROACHES AND METHODS

Approach and method are two terms that are often used in various fields,
including science, engineering, education, and business. While they may seem
similar, there are some key difference between approach and method.

Approach:

An approach is a general way of dealing with a particular problem or situation. It

refers to the overall strategy or direction that one takes in order to achieve a goal.
An approach is more abstract and conceptual than a method. It is a high-level
concept that describes the general principles or guidelines that guide a particular
activity or project.. on n the field of education, there are different approaches to
teaching, such as student-centered, teacher-centered, and task-based. Each
approach has its own philosophy, goals, and pedagogical principles that guide
the teaching and learning process.

Method:

A method, on the other hand, is a specific set of techniques or procedures that

are used to implement an approach. It refers to the practical steps or actions
taken to achieve a goal. A method is more concrete and specific than an
approach. It is a low-level concept that describes the actual steps, techniques, or
tools used to carry out a particular activity or project. Each method has its own
set of practices, roles, and tools that guide the development process. In the field
of education, if we consider the student-centered approach, there are different
methods, such as problem-based learning, project-based learning, and inquiry-
based learning, that can be used to implement this approach. Each method has
its own set of techniques and tools that guide the teaching and learning process.

In summary, an approach is a general way of thinking about a problem or

situation, while a method is the specific way of putting that approach into action.
An approach is more abstract and conceptual, while a method is more concrete and
specific. One provides the overall direction or strategy, while a method provides the
specific techniques or procedures to achieve a goal.

Example of a method

of a method is a teacher's way of cracking an egg in a cooking class.

An approach is a way of looking at teaching and learning. Underlying any

something, which use classroom activities or techniques to help learners learn.
