Effective Teaching Methodology:
Mastering English Language
Effective
Teaching Methodologies include general
principles that can guide
educators in creating
engaging and impactful learning experiences.
Incorporating these principles into teaching methods,
approaches, and technology will create dynamic and
engaging learning experiences that empower
students to succeed academically and beyond.
Ways of starting discussion
As a language subject, a fantastic way of developing
English skills comes via discussion and debate in
the classroom.
English teachers can facilitate these discussions
in a wide number of ways, from posing vast open-
ended questions around world topics such as
sustainability or climate change, through to
‘what if…’ scenarios with a range of outcomes.
This encourages pupils to express themselves
and to apply elements of English learning to
real-life situations.
To take things a step further, pupils could be asked
to act out their answers or to deliver them via role
play in front of the class – this can help to bring
to life what they are saying and to stimulate
further discussion.
An alternative is to invite speakers and guests into
classroom to encourage discussion through thought-
provoking talks and presentations.
Student-Centered Approach to Learning
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, Facilitato
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.
Teacher-Centered Approach to Learning
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
