Methods of English Language Teaching

There are several methods of English language teaching: 1) The grammar translation method focuses on reading and writing skills through translation between the native language and English, emphasizing grammatical rules. 2) The direct method teaches English through interaction without translation using gestures, pictures, and actions. 3) The audio-lingual method focuses on repetition, memorization, and drills to learn spoken English through imitation and behaviorism. 4) Whole language and communicative language teaching focus on using English communicatively and meaningfully in context through collaboration, with the teacher as a facilitator.
