3. THE NATURE OF
LANGUAGE TEACHING
1. What's methodology?
English teaching methodology is a set of methods
used for study or action in English teaching. It is the
science to research the Teaching rules at

to develop the students' communicative competence.

2. The definition of teaching.
Teaching is an attempt to help someone
acquire, or change some skills,
attitude,knowledge, ideal, or appreciation.
In other words, the teacher's task is to
create or influence desirable changes in
behavior, or in tendencies toward
behavior, in his/her students.

What are the most important issues when
teaching English today?
About teachers?
About students?

About materials?
about evaluation?
About any other issues?
6. Strategies in English language
Learning and Teaching
Definition of Strategies:
1. Wenden and Rubin (1987) defines
strategies as…”any set of operations,
steps, plans, routines used by the learner
to facilitate the obtaining, storage,
retrieval, and use of information.”
2. Richards and Platt (1992) state that
learning strategies are “intentional
behavior and thoughts used by learners
during learning so as to better help
them understand, learn or remember
new information.”
7. Teacher Role in Strategy
Training
Teacher should
learn about
students
1. Interests
2. Goals

a language
The most important
teacher role in
English language
teaching is the
provision of a wide
range of tasks to
match the needs of
all students
possessing different
learning styles,
motivations etc.
