Language learning method Flashcards
is a structured approach
or framework used to teach and acquire a language.
It encompasses a set of strategies, principles, and
techniques—such as grammar exercises,
conversational practice, and immersive activities—that
are designed to develop different language skills
including speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
LANGUAGE LEARNING METHOD
is a traditional
approach where the main focus is on learning
grammatical rules and vocabulary through the
translation of texts.
Grammar-Translation Method
a short passage in the
target language and
ask students to
translate it into their
native language.
Translation Exercise
Provide a text with
deliberate grammatical
errors.
Error Correction
Give students a scripted
dialogue in the target
language.
Dialogue Rewriting
Books or passages presented in both the target
and native language to analyze grammar and
vocabulary.
Bilingual Texts &
Literary Passages:
Detailed explanations and exercises
focused on language rules and structure.
Grammar
Reference Books
& Workbooks
Tools for quick reference and vocabulary
building
Bilingual Dictionaries
& Glossaries:
In this method the teaching is done entirely in the
target language. The learner is not allowed to use his
or her mother tongue. Grammar rules are avoided and
there is emphasis on good pronunciation.
Direct Method
Start inspired with
thousands of templates,
collaborate with ease,
and engage your audience
with a memorable Canva
Presentation.
Picture Description
Set up real-life scenarios
(ordering food, asking for
directions) where
students assume roles
and interact using only
the target language.
Role Play
Hide objects around the
classroom and have
students find and
describe them using
target language
vocabulary.
Object Hunt
Images and diagrams that directly link objects
and actions with words in the target language.
Visual Aids (Pictures,
Flashcards, Charts)
Everyday objects (e.g., food items, maps,
menus) that provide real-world context for
vocabulary.
Whiteboards/
Multimedia Tools
Digital resources that engage students in
immersive, context-based learning.
Authentic Objects/
Materials
Based on behaviorist principles, the Audio-Lingual Method uses
repetitive drills, pattern practice, and memorization to form correct
language habits.
Audio-Lingual Method
The teacher states a
sentence (e.g.,
“She goes
to school every day
”) and
the class repeats it in
unison multiple times
Repetition Drills
The teacher calls out a
sentence and students
respond immediately with
a pre-learned reply, with
the teacher gradually
increasing complexity.
Call-and-Response
Drills:
CDs, digital files, or language lab recordings
that provide models of natural speech.
Audio Recordings of
Native Speakers:
Written dialogues and sentences designed
for choral repetition and substitution
drills.
Scripts for Repetition
Drills & Pattern
Practices:
Tools (like headphones and audio players)
that support listening and speaking
practice in a controlled setting.
Language Lab
Equipment:
is a methodology of teaching language
based on the idea that teachers should be as silent as
possible during a class but learners should be encouraged
to speak as much as possible.
The Silent Way
The teacher writes a mix of
words (nouns, verbs,
adjectives, prepositions) on the
board without explanation.
Students must group words
based on their part of speech.
Silent Word Classification
Students use rods to build
sentences based on a visual
prompt or a written
sentence provided by the
teacher.
Sentence Construction
Using the rods, students
practice forming
different tenses or
grammatical structures.
Grammar Drills
Cuisenaire rods can be used to provide visible
actions for any language structure
Cuisenaire Rods
The chart contains blocks of colour, each one
representing a sound in the target language.
Sound Colour Chart
The word charts present the most common
English words, using the same colour code as
the sound-colour chart and the Fidel.
Word Chart
is a method developed by Georgi Lozanov that
creates a relaxed, stress-free learning environment.
Desuggestopedia
The first concert or called active
concert involved the active
presentation of the material to be
learnt.
First Concert (Active
concert)
In the second phase, the students
are asked to put their script aside They simply listen as the teacher
reads the dialog at the normal rate
of speed
Second Concert
(Passive Concert)
The students choose a
target language name and
a new occupation.
Choose a new
identity
One of the most uniqueness of this
method is the use of Baroque music
during the learning process.
The use of music
the classroom should not be too bright. It is suggested to be slightly dim so that
students can feel relaxed with the
classroom atmosphere.
Lighting
Large, colorful posters with key
vocabulary and concepts are displayed to
reinforce learning through visual
stimulation.
