The Happy Language Teacher

4: Why There’s No One Right Way to Teach a Language

Oct 14

Teaching methods come and go like fashion. Grammar-translation, the audio-lingual method, the communicative approach, task-based learning… each promised to be THE answer. But none of them is, on its own. That's why I'm a big fan of an eclectic approach in the classroom: you consciously combine different methods and techniques, always starting from your learners and their goals.

In this episode I talk about:

- a few different methods that shaped language teaching

- how to make sure you bring enough variety to your lessons

- the theory of multiple intelligences

Listen to this episode and discover what variety does.
