Teacher Refresher Course - (London) 3rd session

3rd Session: EFL Approaches Overview

In that session we revised different Approaches / Methodologies / Theories:

- Communicative Language Learning

- The Silent Way

- Suggestopaedia

- Total Physical Response

- The Communicative Approach

- The Humanistic Approach

- The Audio-Lingual Method

- Dogme

We worked in small groups and we extract the main characteristics of every Approach. Then all the group discussed about them. Our conclusion was that it is better to get the most interesting points of every Approach instead focus on one of them.
