The acquisition of a foreign language

or a long time there have been so many different lan-
guages in the world that people have always been 
learning them in order not only to communicate but also in 
order to improve economical, political issues between coun-
tries. Nowadays knowing a foreign language is vitally im-
portant demand of the century. That’s why there are a great 
number of approaches in teaching foreign languages. Even 
we can see it in our own country. Our educational author-
ities are paying too much attention in order to develop the 
foreign languages. As an example we can see World Lan-
guage University. The university is being reconstructed and 
it is being better equipped than before. Teaching foreign lan-
guages is being promoted widely not only at universities but 
also in other places such as at schools, at work places to have 
versatile professionals in the society. Nowadays teaching for-
eign languages includes ideas which range from using con-
ventional, but well-proven methods, to integrating innova-
tive techniques and means of learning process organization, 
which appeared owing to the emergence of new technologies 
and resources, mainly focused on worldwide communication, 
easy access to knowledge, a greater role of the learner in their 
progress and of the language in one’s career development. 
Therefore, a lot of methods are used and here some mostly 
used methods are given:
The Direct Method
—
here the learner only speaks in 
the target language emphasizing on good pronunciation but 
grammar is not important here.
Grammar-translation
— the learner follows grammar 
rules, enlarges his/her vocabulary mostly by translation but 
little effect in speaking
Audio-lingual
-. new language is first heard and exten-
sively drilled before being seen in its written form
The structural approach — here especially grammar is 
learned in one order thoroughly.
