Approach is a theory of language and of language
learning. When an instructional design is quite explicit
at the level of theory of language and learning, but can
be applied in many different ways at the level of
objectives, teacher and learner roles and activities,
it is usually referred to as an approach.
Communicative language teaching is generally
regarded as an approach, because the principles
underlying it can be applied in many different ways.
Method is the steps of an approach. With a method,
there are prescribed objectives, roles for teacher and
learners and guidelines for activities, and,
consequently, little flexibility for teachers in how the
method is used.
The teacher’s role is to implement the method.
Audio-lingualism, Total Physical Response and Silent
Way are examples of methods. Methods refer to how
to teach the lesson; through a lecture, small group.
power-point, active learning or CLT.
Every teacher and educationist of experience knows
that even the best curriculum analysis, course content
and the most perfect syllabus remain dead unless
quickened into life by the right methods of teaching
and right kind of teachers.
Teachers are the main authority figure in this model.
Students are viewed as empty vessels whose primary
role is to passively receive information (via lectures
and direct instruction) with an end goal of testing and
assessment.
It is the primary role of teachers to pass knowledge and
information onto their students. In this model, teaching
and assessment are viewed as two separate entities.
Student learning is measured through objectively
scored tests and assessments.
To better understand these approaches, it is important
to discuss what is generally understood as the three
main teaching styles in educational pedagogy: direct
instruction, inquiry-based learning and cooperative
learning.
Through these three teaching methods, teachers can
gain a better understanding of how to govern their
classroom, implement instruction and connect with
their students. Within each of these three main
teaching styles are teaching roles or “models.”
Theorist A.F. Grasha explains the five main teaching
models in her publication Teaching with Style (1996):
Expert, Formal Authority, Personal Model, Facilitator
and Delegator.
To gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of
each teaching style, it’s best to view them through the
lens of direct instruction, inquiry-based learning, and
cooperative teaching.
