BLOCK 1: KEY ISSUES IN ELT METHODOLOGY

 You have 5 minutes to talk to your
partner about the difference between
Approach and Method in ELT.
 METHOD & APPROACH
An 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.
METHOD & APPROACH
A Method is a set of principles, design and procedures for teaching a language that
are derived from a particular theory on the nature of language and language learning.

An Approach can be defined as a set of assumptions, beliefs and theories about

the nature of language and language learning which operate as the theoretical
foundations of a method. An approach is usually understood as the body of linguistic,
psychological and pedagogical theories which inspire the teaching practice.
