Arkadaşlar,

İngilizce öğretimindeki yöntem ve teknikleri tanımaya başlamadan önce bazı

kavramları tanımamızın faydalı olacağını düşünüyorum.

Yaklaşım(approach), dilin ve dil öğretiminin doğasına yönelik genel bir anlayış, teori ve felsefe ifade

eder. Mesela " structuralism " (yapısalcılık) bir yaklaşımdır. Bu anlamda NEDEN dil öğretmeliyiz soruna cevap

verir. Dilin belli yapıların üst üste koyulması ile meydana gelen bir bina gibi olduğunu düşünür yapısalcılar. Bu

yaklaşımdan Audio Lingual Method gibi bir yöntem çıkmıştır.

Yöntem(method), ise belli bir dilbilimsel yaklaşıma, psikolojik anlayışa ve eğitim felsefesine dayanan,

birtakım teknikler ve uygulamalar bütünüdür. Mesela ALM (audio-lingual method), dilbilimsel olarak yapısalcılığa,

psikolojik olarak davranışçılığa yaslanır. CLT (communicative language teaching) ise dönüşümsel-üretken dilbilime

yakındır ve daha çağdaş öğrenme anlayışlarını ve öğretmen rollerini benimser. Dili Nasıl öğretmeliyiz?

Teknik(technique) ise bir yöntem içindeki özel ve durumsal uygulamalara gönderme yapar. Mesela,

ALM'de sıkça uygulanan substitution drills buna örnek gösterilebilir. CLT'de de information gap tarzı çalışmalar

yaptırılır; bu da ona özgü bir tekniktir. Dil öğretirken Ne kullanmalıyız?

Approach = yaklaşım - Method = yöntem - Technique = teknik

Approaches, methods, procedures, and techniques

Approach: This refers to “theories about the nature of language and language

learning that serve as the source of practices and principles in language teaching”. It

offers a model of language competence. An approach describes how people acquire their

knowledge of the language and makes statements about conditions which will promote

successful language learning.

Method: A method is the practical realization of an approach. Methods include

various procedures and techniques as part of their standard fare.

Procedure: A procedure is an ordered sequence of techniques. A procedure is a

sequence which can be described in terms such as first you do this, then you do that…

Smaller than a method and bigger than technique.

Technique: A technique is the specific activities manifested in the classroom that

are consistent with a method. Comprehension questions, translation of literary texts,

dictations, etc are common techniques used in class.

A term that is also used in discussions about teaching is “model” – used to describe

typical procedures, usually for teachers in training. Such models offer abstractions of

these procedures, designed to guide teaching practice.

The Difference between Approach, Method and

Technique

APPROACH ==> ASSUMPTION: An approach is a set of correlative assumptions about the nature

of language and language learning.

METHOD ==> PLAN: A method is a plan for presenting the language material to be learned and should

be based upon a selected approach.

TECHNIQUE==> TRICK: A technique is a very specific, concrete stratagem or trick designed to

accomplish an immediate objective.

Thus we can conclude that approach is translated into method that contains

technique with series of procedure.

Approach, Method and Technique Defined The simple diagram found below is an attempt to distinguish them:

Based on the diagram, it clearly shows that approach encompasses the whole orientation of teaching.

Approach is the broadest of the three, making technique the most specific, and the method found in

between approach and technique.

An approach is an enlightened viewpoint toward teaching. It provides philosophy to the whole process of

instruction. As presented by the diagram, the method and technique are just parts and parcels of approach.

Approach gives the overall wisdom, it provides direction, and sets expectations to the entire spectrum of

the teaching process. Furthermore, approach sets the general rule or general principle to make learning

possible.

A method, on the other hand, is an organized, orderly, systematic, and well-planned procedure aimed

at facilitating and enhancing students’ learning. It is undertaken according to some rule, which is usually

psychological in nature. That is, it considers primarily the abilities, needs, and interests of the learners.

Method is employed to achieve certain specific aims of instruction. To make it as an effective instrument,

it should be presented with certain amount of efficiency and ease. More so, the teaching method aims to

achieve greater teaching and learning output, thus saving time, efforts and even money on the part of both

the teacher and the learner. It directs and guides the teacher and the students in undertaking any class

lesson or activity.

To appraise that teaching method is good and effective, the following characteristics would tell if it is so:

good method recognizes individual differences;

if it provides students’ learning;

if it facilitates growth and development;

if it achieves the desired results of the teacher as reflected in her instructional objectives.

One must remember that there is no such thing as the best method. Thus, there is no single correct way to

teach a class. Instead, there are many good ways of teaching the students.

The procedural variation of a method calls for the third term, technique. Technique encompasses the

personal style of the teacher in carrying out specific steps of the teaching process. Through technique,

teachers enable to develop, create and implement, using her distinctive way, the procedures (method) of

teaching.

• AN APPROACH is a set of language teaching and learning theories and

principles (Answers the question Why? )

• A METHOD is the way you apply these theories and principles to language

teaching and learning (How)

• A TECHNIQUE is the tools and the tasks you use to make your method succeed

in language teaching and learning(a classroom device or activity)

• A PROCEDURE is an order of sequence of techniques (such as First you do

this, then you do that … ).

TYPES OF LANGUAGE SYLLABUS Arkadaşlar bu dersi işlerken aklımıza takılacak olan noktalardan biri de

syllabus ve çeşitleridir. Bunun için aşağıdaki derlemeyi yaptım. Dili çok kolay.

Anlayacağınızı umuyorum. Syllabus çeşitlerine geçmeden karıştırılan iki

kavrama açıklık getirelim.

Syllabus ve Curriculum

Curriculum: Türkçe düşündüğümüzde müfredat demek. Dönemlik, yıllık, hatta

bir kaç yıllık yapılabilir. Öğretilecek konular, onayları alındıktan sonra, hafta

hafta bölünerek kodlarını da içerecek bir program hazırlanır. Oldukça geniş

kapsamlıdır. Bir eğitim kurumu tarafından hazırlandığını unutmayalım.

Syllabus ise: Bir öğrenim döneminde dersin içereceği kaynak, makale, kitap

vb dokümana ait tüm bilgilerin yer aldığı bilgilendirme çıktısıdır. Bu çıktı

içerisinde ders programı, sınav tarihleri ve sınavların ağırlıkları,

değerlendirme ölçütleri(derse devam, katılım, zamanında ödev teslimi) gibi


[email protected]

~ 12 ~

bilgiler yer alabilir. Bu programın eğitim kurumu tarafından değil dersin

sorumlusu tarafından hazırlandığını unutmayalım.

Ayrıca “syllabus” kavramının İngiltere’de; “curriculum” kavramının ise

Amerika’da kullanıldığını aklımızda tutmalıyız. Bu durumda her ikisi de aynı

anlamda kullanılabiliyor(Brown, D. 2001).

There has been much confusion as to what types of syllabus are possible in language teaching

and to how different they are in the level of implementation. Knowing the syllabus types will

help us to decide and choose the one(s) that is appropriate with our teaching goals and our

situations and conditions. The following are some types of language teaching syllabus that will

be distinctively discussed (Lingualinks Library, 1999).

1. A grammar or structural syllabus. The content of the language

teaching is a collection of the forms and structures of the language being taught.

Steps:

a. We decide on a set of forms and structures that the students have to learn and arrange

them in increasing complexity, meaning from simple to complex forms and discourses.

b. We decide a set of vocabulary to be learned together with forms and structures.

c. We sequence the vocabulary, considering that concrete nouns and more common forms

should be taught.

d. We fit the vocabulary, forms and the structures together into a set of learning tasks.

Below are language materials that have been developed based on grammar syllabus (taken

from SIDE BY SIDE: English through Guided Conversation by Molinsky and Bliss, 1983).

Book 2A

1. Simple Present Tense

Present Continuous Tense

Pronouns

Subject and Object

Possessive Adjectives

2. Simple Past Tense (Regular–Irregular Verbs)

Past Continuous Tense

3. Future: Going To

Future: Will

Future Continuous Tense

Possessive Pronouns

4. Present Perfect Tense


[email protected]

~ 13 ~

5. Present Perfect Tense vs. Present Tense Present Perfect Tense vs. Past Tense For,

Since

The benefit of a grammar syllabus is that students move from simpler to more complex

structures and they may learn the structures more easily. Even though the materials seem to

consider grammar-based arrangement, activities in the book enforce students to learn English

through guided conversations. The disadvantage of this syllabus is that students are often

preoccupied with grammar when they are learning communicative activities, which may block

natural communicative process. This syllabus may be more useful in a context in which the

students do not have immediately communication needs.

2. A notional or functional syllabus. The content of the language

teaching is a collection of the functions or the notions that are performed when the language is

used.

Steps:

a. We make a list of communication functions of the language that students expect to

master.

b. We make a list of the semantic notions (meanings) based on the culture the speakers

of the language.

c. We group the functions and the notions together into learning tasks.

The example below is a language syllabus that has been developed based on notional

syllabus (taken from Impact: English for Social Interaction by Watcyn-Jones, 1980).

Unit 1: Socializing

a. how to approach the person you are meeting

b. how to reply

c. How to introduce yourself

d. How to respond and reply to an introduction

e. Etc.

Unit 2: Asking and Answering Questions


[email protected]

~ 14 ~

a. How to ask and answer direct questions where a short Yes or No answer is expected

b. How to ask and answer direct questions where a longer answer than Yes or No is

expected

c. How to ask a direct question when you already think you know what the answer

will be

d. Etc.

Unit 3: Finding the Way

a. How to ask someone the way

b. Etc.

The benefit of a notional/functional syllabus is that students learn how to use the target

language to express their own ideas, notions and purposes. The disadvantage of this syllabus is

that different kinds of structures are often used to express the same functions so that it is difficult

to arrange the structure of the target language from simpler to more complex forms. This

syllabus may trigger language learners to use the target language to express their own emotions,

ideas or purposes.

3. A situational (topical) syllabus. The content of the language

teaching is a collection of imaginary situations where the language is used.

Steps:

a. We make a list of communications situations that students may face.

b. We make a list of topics, grammatical forms and vocabulary and sequence them.

c. We group the topics, forms and structures and fit them with communication

situations.

The teaching units below are language materials that have been developed based on situational

syllabus.

Unit 1 At Post Office

Unit 2 At School

Unit 3 At the Airport


[email protected]

~ 15 ~

Unit 4 At Restaurant

Unit 5 Shopping

The benefit of a situational syllabus is that students learn how to use the target language in an

authentic communication. The advantage of this syllabus is that when unexpectable situations

happen in communication language learners are not accustomed to communicate in the language

spontaneously. This syllabus is good for language learners who are preparing to go to a country

where the language is being learned. This situational teaching has the goal of teaching specific

language content that occurs in situation.

4. A skill-based syllabus. The content of the language teaching is a collection

of specific skills in using the target language. Examples of skills in using the target language

may include reading for the main idea, writing good paragraphs, and listening for the main idea.

Steps:

a. We make a list of language skills that students need to acquire.

b. We make a list of topics, grammatical forms and vocabulary and sequences them.

c. We group the topics, forms and structures and fit them with the language skills.

The language materials below have been developed based on skill-based syllabus (taken from

Writing Academic English by Oshima and Hogue, 1983).

Part I: WRITING A PARAGRAPH

1- What is a paragraph?

Paragraph Structure

The three parts of a paragraph

Two additional elements

Assignment format

How to write a title

The Topic Sentence


[email protected]

~ 16 ~

Position of topic sentences

The two parts of a topic sentence

Writing topic sentences: two reminders

The concluding Sentence

Review: What is a Paragraph?

2- Unity and Simple Outlining

Simple Paragraph Outlining

Simple outlines

The 'equivalent value" rule

The "parallel from" rule

Review: Unity and Simple Outlining

3- Etc.

The benefit of a skill-based syllabus is that students can specify their learning to reach their

communicative competence, such as using telephone, booking a hotel, and others. The

disadvantage of this syllabus is that it is harder to sequence the materials. This syllabus is good

for those who want to learn specific language skills, such as the writing skill as the example

above.

5. A task-based syllabus. The content of the language teaching includes a series

of purposeful tasks that language learners need to perform; tasks are defined as activities that

are needed when using the target language. Examples of a task-based syllabus may include

applying for a job, ordering food via the telephone and getting housing information over the

telephone. This syllabus is similar to a situational syllabus but it focuses on more general

linguistic competence that is less culturally loaded.

Steps:

a. We make a list of abilities or tasks that students need to acquire.


[email protected]

~ 17 ~


c. We group the topics, forms and structures and fit them with the tasks.

The following is a list of task-types used in a five-year project that consisted of teaching a small

number classes in primary and secondary schools in southern India (Prabhu, 1987: 138).

1- Diagrams and formations

a. Naming parts of a diagram with numbers and letters of the alphabet, as instructed.

b. Placing numbers and letters of the alphabet in relation to one another, as instructed,

to arrive at particular formations.

c. Placing numbers and letters of the alphabet in given crossword formats;

constructing/completing such formats, as instructed.

2- Drawing

a. Drawing geometrical figures/formations from sets of verbal instructions.

b. Formulating verbal instructions for drawing/completing such figures.

c. Comparing given figures to identify similarities and differences.

3- Clockfaces

a. Telling the time from a clockface; positioning the hands of a clock to show a given time.

b. Calculating durations from the movement of a clock's hands; working out intervals between

given time.

c. Stating the time on a twelve hour clock and a twenty-four hour clock; relating times to

phases of the day and night.

4- Etc.

The benefit of a task-based syllabus is that students learn to carry out activities using the target

language. Language teaching through task-based syllabus occurs only as the need arises during

the performance of a given task. The disadvantage is that students often learn to perform tasks

and language learning is less emphasized.


[email protected]

~ 18 ~

6. A content-based syllabus. A content-based syllabus in language teaching

is actually not a language syllabus. The primary purpose of instruction is to teach subject matter

of the content course or information using the target language. The subject is primary and

language learning occurs automatically while language learners are studying the subject. An

example of a content-based syllabus is a science class that is taught in the target language.

Steps:

a. We make a list of topics from the content (subject).


c. We group the forms and structures and fit them with the topics.

The following is a list of topics that have been developed based on a content-based syllabus and

is designed to improve the job-specific English of non-native speakers who are working or being

trained in the telecommunications industry (Comfort, et al, 1994).

Unit 1 Networks

Unit 2 Transmission

Unit 3 Switching

Unit 4 Computer communications

Unit 5 Radio communications

The benefit of a content-based syllabus is that students feel satisfied with the purpose of

learning the target language, namely acquiring information. The feeling of satisfaction will

promote their learning. The disadvantage of this syllabus is that the content of instruction is not

organized around the language teaching so that there is almost no teaching of the target language

even though the students will automatically learn the language. This syllabus is often used in

the immersion program, which has been addressed earlier.

Some syllabus types may be overlapped with the others. To some extent a content- based

syllabus is similar to a skill-based syllabus, in a content-based syllabus students are often

involved in activities that link the skills. Students might read and take notes, listen and write a

summary, or respond orally to things they have read or written (Richards and Rodgers, 2001:


[email protected]

~ 19 ~

208). Richards and Rodgers suggest that the teacher or course developer has the responsibility

to identify relevant grammar and other linguistic focuses to complement the theme of activities

in a content-based syllabus. This implies that the teaching materials are arranged a combination

of skill-based and grammar syllabus and such a teaching program may also be called an

immersion program.

The types of syllabus mentioned above are not the only types of syllabus that are commonly

known in the context of communicative teaching. There are some other types that are not very

popular, such as interactional syllabus and learner-centered syllabus (Richards and Rodgers,

2001: 164). In having which type of syllabus would work optimally in providing students with

learning activities to gain communicative competence, we must take into consideration all

factors that might affect the practicality and teachability of a particular syllabus. By

experiencing each type of syllabus, we may finally choose one or two types of syllabus that are

appropriate in our teaching settings, or combine the types of syllabus according to local

conditions and needs.

Even though we define the types of syllabus in isolated contexts, we often combine them in

actual teaching settings. No single syllabus may be appropriate for all teaching settings. We may

combine them in more or less integrated ways, with one type as the basis with which the others

are related. The guidelines to syllabus choice and design below

may be worth considering (Reilly, 1988).

a. We determine what outcomes are desired for the students in the instructional program or

define what the students should be able to do as a result of instruction.

b. We rank the syllabus types presented above as to their likelihood of leading to the outcomes

desired.

c. We evaluate available resources in materials and in training for teachers.

d. We rank the types of syllabus relative to available resources and consider what syllabus

types would be the easiest to implement given the available resources.

e. We compare the lists of the syllabus types, make as few adjustments and produce a new

ranking based on the resources constraints.

f. We repeat the process, taking into account the constraints contributed by the teacher,

student and other factors.

g. We determine a final ranking, taking into account all the information from the earlier steps.

h. We designate one or two types as dominant and one as one as secondary.

i. We translate the decisions into actual teaching units.


[email protected]

~ 20 ~

SUMMARY To reach the goal, teaching materials may be arranged in different considerations and based on

the considerations the materials will be arranged in different types of language syllabus. In

language teaching contexts, there are six types of language syllabus, namely grammar syllabus,

situational syllabus, notional syllabus, task-based syllabus, skill-based syllabus and content-

based syllabus. Each syllabus has strengths and weaknesses and it tells us how the target

language should be presented. Even though we have different types of syllabus in isolated

contexts, we often combine them in actual teaching settings. We may combine them in more or

less integrated ways, with one type as the basis with which the others are related.
