The third component
of what “what to teach” is a methodological component i.e. 
pupils should be taught how to learn the foreign language, how to work at he subject 
to attain the aims. 
To sum up, the content of foreign language teaching involves three main components: 
1. Psychological components: habits and skills which ensure the use of the target 
language as a means of communication in oral (hearing, speaking) and written 
(reading, writing) forms. 
2. Linguistic components i.e. language and linguistic material which should be 
assimilated to be used in language skills. 
3. Methodological component i.e. the techniques which pupils should acquire to learn 
the foreign language in a most effective way. 
3. Principles of Foreign Language Teaching. 
Principle is defined as a guide to action, in our case as a guide to teaching. Methods of 
teaching foreign language are based on the fundamental principles of pedagogic 
(didactics).The seven didactic 
principles(conscio0usness,activness,visuality,consecutiveness,systematicness,accessib
ility,and durability) are interdependent and mutually complementary. In each subject 
those principles are applied specifically. For instance, the principle of visuality is 
differently realized in the teaching of mathematics, geography and foreign languages. 
different visual aids are used in teaching different subjects, and the purposes of their 
use vary. 
Scientific approach 
in foreign language teaching implies
Careful determination of what and how to teach to achieve the aims set by the 
syllabus. There are 3 aims mainly; the leading role belongs to the practical aim. 
One of the main methodological principles is the principle of practical or 
communicative approach. It means pupils should be involved in oral and written 
communication throughout the whole course of leaning the foreign language. This 
principle is realized in modern teaching aids and teaching materials now in use in 
schools. Pupils are taught to use the target language as a means of communication for 
listening comprehension, speaking, and reading. 
Each language activity has its own set of actions which are characteristic of this 
activity (4Language activities).The development of each activity requires certain 
techniques and exercises. Hence we have the following methodological principle- the

principle of a differential approach in foreign language teaching-each activity requires 
special attention on the part of the teacher.
