Techniques and Principles in Language Teaching

How is evaluation accomplished?

• A teacher evaluates not only the students’ accuracy, but also their fluency.
• A teacher can informally evaluate his students’ performance in his role as an adviser or co-communicator.

How does the teacher respond to student errors?

• Errors of form are tolerated during fluency-based activities and are seen as a natural outcome of the development of communication skills.

Content-based Approach

• Content-based Approach
• In CBI rather than ‘learning to use English,
• ‘students use ‘English to learn it’.
• Teaching through communication rather
• than for it
