Teaching Methods

Each teaching method presents its benefits and its challenges. But it is a necessity for us English teachers to get acquainted with these different methods, so our job could more effective and more beneficial for the student—our reason of being. Learning the names of the many teaching approaches to teaching a second language, one realizes that only the names are new to you since you have been using a combination of all these methods without not even realizing it.
The one teaching method I use the most is the TPR, Total Physical Response. I feel this method is very effective, for it can be used with multilingual classroom, and everyone should be able to benefit from it. Nevertheless, we should not stick with one method, we need to examine each one of them, and find out which one work for each individual student.
