❀Learning Log 4 (Inside classroom)

On June 24  2013, I learned about teaching methods . I listened to my friends's present five methods.

           First, Pronunciation  teaching  is one of the key constituents of success while learning and teaching a foreign language. Various techniques may be used by teachers to teach their students how to speak and pronounce correctly the sounds. Some teachers focus their attention on teaching specific sounds of a foreign language; usually these sounds are those that are uncommon for the learners’ native language.

          Second, Culture is a broad concept that embraces all aspects of human life. Culture isn't just a list of religious traditions, or language. It is a lived experience unique to each individual. Language without cultural relevance is nearly useless. Yet successfully teaching the cultural element in our foreign language classes remains elusive. In general, culture emphasizes the learner's ability to perceive, to understand, and ultimately, to accept cultural relativity.

            Third, Test specification teaching, Evaluation of the language in this period will be assessed according to Jing. No evaluation of the test.  Evaluation of  language resources given technology, comparing different approaches to a given problem, assessing the availability of resources and technologies for a given application.

            Fourth, Communicative language teaching makes use of real-life situations that necessitate communication. This  method focus on interactive between teacher to student, student to teacher and student to student. Interactive between teacher to students is teacher should ask the question then student can answer the question. Interactive between students to teacher is the student can express their opinion. Interactive between student to student is they are interactive by group work or pair work.

         Lastly, Communicative competences are are four kinds of competence: Linguistics or grammatical competence is teaching pronounce, vocabulary, and structure of grammar, Sociolinguistics competence is language with other culture, Discourse competence is reading for interpret and Strategic competence is how to solve the problem in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

          In conclusion,There are important five  methods to English language teacher. student should learn about this.After my friend present I understand the method and know meaning about method.
