1、Three Methods1204 021202005陈笑The Grammar-translation Method Background there is evidence that grammar analysis and translation began to be the basic procedures in foreign language teaching from the 16th century. three impetus：(1)the modern languages provided one of the conditions for grammar analysi

2、s and the application of grammatical rules in translation exercises in teaching Latin. (2)the second impetus for the procedures of grammar analysis and translation in teaching Latin came from the social needs of European countries. (3)in the 19th century, more experts of foreign languages teaching a

Theoretical Basis (1)theory of language The theory of language underlying the Grammar-translation Method was derived from Comparative Historical Linguistics. (2)theory of learning The theory of learning underlying the Grammar-translati

4、on Method was Faculty Psychology. Basic Principles (1)main features Reading and writing are the major focus. Little or no systematic attention is paid to speaking or listening , because literary language is considered superior to spoken language and is therefore what language students should learn.

5、The teacher uses the native language of the students as the main medium of instruction. The teacher emphasizes accuracy rather than fluency. (2)Objectives to enable the learners to read and translate its literature. to provide students with good mental exercise that helps develop their minds. to gai

10、anguage teaching which insists that only the target language should be used in class and meanings should be communicated “directly” by associating speech forms with actions , objects , mime , gestures , and situations . It believes in the natural process of language learning and in the inductive tea

11、ching of grammar. Background The Direct Method got its name from the assumption that meaning are to be connected directly with target language , without going through the process of translating into the students native language.

(4)Thoughts and corresponding utterances come in sequences and ends-means series . The verbal expression

15、 of an event is not just a word but a sentence. Basic Principles (1)main features This method aims at developing the students ability to communicate in the target language. Grammar is learned inductively throughlistening and speaking activities. The unit in a language is the sentence. （2）Objectives

16、To foster the students ability to communicate in the target language. To enable the students to think in the target language. Pronunciation is paid attention to in order to form the beginning of a course . Vocabulary takes precedence over grammar. （2)Techniques direct association questions and answe

(2)disadvantages it teaches the students

20、 abstract conceptswithout explicit grammar explanation , students lack a necessary knowledge of thetarget language. it places a high demand on the teachers.The Audio-lingual Method Background During the WWII , there was a need for people to learn foreign language rapidly for military purposes.Lingui

21、sts and applied linguists during this period were becoming increasingly involved in the teaching of English as a foreign language . It had become Audio- lingualism by 1950s. Basis(1)theory of language The theory of language underlying Audio- lingualism was derive from a view proposed by American lin

22、guists in the 1930s and the 1940s. Elements in a language are produced in a rule-governed way. Language samples could be exhaustively described at any structural level of description. They argued the language is primarily what is spoken and only secondarily what is written.(2)theory of learning A me

Emphasis on the teaching of listening and speaking before reading and writing. Dialogues are the main presentation. Mimicry, memorization and pattern drills. Discour
