Teaching Approach, Teaching Method, Teaching Techinique, and Teaching Strategies

While teaching, teachers need to know several approaches to teaching. It is important to recognize them in order to put them into practice in the classroom.

We need to define different concepts when teaching such as: teaching approach, teaching method, teaching technique, and teaching strategies.

Teaching approach: It is a set of assumptions dealing with the nature of language learning and teaching.

It is your own personal philosophy of teaching. What is the nature of education? What is the role of the teacher, the student, the administration, and the parents? To be an effective teacher is the best way to engender a sense of trust and familiarity.

Teaching method: Method is defined as an overall plan for systematic presentation of language based on a selected approach. It refers to how you apply your answers from the previous questions to your day to day instruction in front of your students.

Teaching techniques: they are specific classroom activities consistent with a method and therefore harmony with an approach as well.

Teaching strategies: Our role as teachers is to create an environment in which all students can participate to the best of their abilities. One of our greatest challenges is to provide a positive learning environment for the students in our classroom. Because each student has his or her own unique set of physical and intellectual abilities, perceptions, and needs, the learning styles of our students may vary widely.

The main difference between teaching approach and teaching method is that teaching approach is what we think about education, teaching and learning as well. Teaching method is how we apply our philosophy of learning in our classroom. Teaching approach is our own theory of learning and teaching while teaching method is how we apply our own theory of learning and teaching in our classrooms. Teaching method is more specific because it includes many clues and hints to make learning take place and to make students raise awareness about their own learning. 

A technique is a very specific, concrete practice or trick designed to accomplish an immediate objective. Teaching strategies is like the way the teacher develops activities in the classroom. The role of the teacher is mainly to create a very good atmosphere of learning so that students will learn as much as possible and develop skills as well.

 How we help our students reach their potential to the fullest.

Self –fulfillment is a liberating part of education, perhaps the most important purpose of education.

I think that we as teacher play a very important role to our students and we can help them to reach their potential but we need to ask; How can we do that? I believe that Trans.

Formation is an illuminating change in head and heart that helps learners achieve their potential and their purpose because if they are interested in learn something they will do it in a good way something to learn something could be very difficult but if we as teachers encourage them and believe in their potential they will want to learn more and more , this is why teachers play an interesting role and we are called to activate the spiritual essence in every learner and our duty is to inspirate then day after day . What is going on in the hearts headlines of the teachers’ attention.  We as teachers must believe in the potential of our students.

HOW CAN WE, TEACHERS, BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO OUR STUDENTS

Well I think that we can be a source of inspiration to our students in different ways for example the way to teach them have to be very important because we need that they pay attention , so that the class need that a good environment and if we do this , students will feel comfortable and they will want to learn . Another is the communication between teacher and students; they must have a good relationship because it will help students to feel confidents.

We have to motivate our students and must be an example to them if we are an excellent inspiration they will want to learn a lot.

Why do you want to teach?  

            

Well, I want to teach because I think that is wonderful to share things that you know and these could be so interesting to others that want to learn, but my principal objective is that learners can be encouraged to learn new things like a new language and specifically English. I want to teach because I want to make a difference in their lives so that they are inspired to learn the English Language in a successful way.

Teaching is not easy because probably no all the students will be interested in to learn English, therefore we have to be not only teachers but also motivators to the learners and we must use the skills in order to the learners can get good knowledge about the language and I want teaching them using some techniques in order to students be encouraged to learn new things about the language day after day.

The Transformation Pedagogy Model  

  

The transformation pedagogy model is designed to demonstrate that holism in education can have a transformational quality.

I think that transformational pedagogy has been defined to change the learner academically, socially and spiritually. There are differences between transformational teaching and transformational learning because the first one begins with the learners and second one involves deep understanding and it could occurs in classroom where teacher have high expectations.

I believe that transformation pedagogy model shows us that students need teachers who communicate that they believe in students and all their potential, they need teachers that encouraged them.

Also learners need teachers to guide them in their learning. Teachers must to be motivators to the students.

Im sure that transformation pedagogy has helped a lot to the teachers because they know as it should be the way to teach to the learners and they will be interested to learn.

Besides learners and teachers need to work together for example teachers need to be encouraged and affirmed  in their roles, in their potential for transforming lives.
