Leaving GTM and DM behind, we arrive at the 'behaviorists and reformed behaviorists' answer: ALM and TPR. Compare (state what is similar) and contrast (what is different) between these two methods in light of Approach/Design/Procedure? Don't write about all of them, you only only have 150 words or so. Pick one or two aspects and get into it in a deeper way. This is due on Sunday late evening again, the 17th. Roger
The discussion last time revolved around GTM as the default method for hundreds of years. There are many reasons for this. It is still used worldwide. The question still remains whether this method has any merit in the classroom. We talked about 'mixing' methods and that being eclectic sounds cool but there are pitfalls to just blindly mixing things together just to meet different demands.
How would you decide whether a method is right for you and your teaching context? Think of the breakdown of a method on page 33 of the text. How can Approach/Design/Procedure help?
Please discuss this in an answer in a 150 to 170 words.
Assignment is due Sunday evening, July 10th by 11:59pm.
