IN THIS UNIT I'VE LEARNT ABOUT THE VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES USED BY THE TEACHER. GRAMMAR-TRANSLATION, AUDIO-LINGUALISM, PRESENTATION PRACTICE AND PRODUCTION, TASK BASED, COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING, COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING, LEXICAL APPROACH, SUGGESTOPEDIA AND SILENT WAY ARE THE VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES WHICH I'VE LEARNT. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT COMMUNITY AND COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE BASED LEARNING ARE THE BEST ONE AMONG OTHERS BECAUSE THESE ARE CHILD CENTERED. THE CHILDREN WOULD BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN A BETTER , COMFORTABLE WAY. THESE METHODS USE REAL LIFE SITUATIONS WHICH IS KIND OF HELPFUL IN DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING. NEXT IS THE METHOD DEVELOPED BY JEREMY HARMER, KNOWN AS "ESA" (ENGAGE, STUDY AND ACTIVATE). WHAT THESE MEANS IS DISCUSSED WITH APPROPRIATE EXAMPLES. I'VE LEARNT DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WHICH I CAN USE DURING MY TEACHING. MEMORY GAMES, WORD LINKING, ANAGRAMS, BOX GAME, SCATTEGORIES, SENTENCE PROMPTS ETC ARE SOME OF THEM. GIVING OR PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO THE STUDENTS IS ALSO NECESSARY PART OF IT. IT ENCOURAGES IMPROVEMENT AND SELF AWARENESS AMONG STUDENTS. THERE ARE THREE TECHNIQUES FOR CORRECTION NAMELY, SELF- CORRECTION, STUDENT- STUDENT CORRECTION, TEACHER- STUDENT CORRECTION.
