Method is “an umbrella term”, it consists of three levels (approach, design and procedure)
• Approach is the first level of the method, it includes those assumptions, beliefs, and theories about the nature of language and the nature of language learning .
• Design is the second level. It specifies the relationship of theories of language and learning to both the form and function of instructional materials and activities in instructional settings.
• Procedure comprises the classroom techniques and practices that are consequences of particular approaches and designs”. (1985:17)
Teaching methods can best be defined as the types of principles and methods used for instruction. There are many types of teaching methods, depending on what information or skill the teacher is trying to convey. Class participation, demonstration, recitation, and memorization are some of the teaching methods being used. When a teacher is deciding on their method, they need to be flexible and willing to adjust their style according to their students. Student success in the classroom is largely based on effective teaching methods.
