ESL
Approaches
and
Methods
- Communicative
Approach
- This is described as a
student-centered approach
that relies on
comprehensible input from
the learner. The emphasis
of this is the development
of language through
communication.
- This approach is
connected to the
Integrated Content-Based
Instruction and Sheltered
Instruction Methods. This is
due to the focus on
content in language and
heavy use of scaffolded
instruction needed.
- This approach is applied when
using scaffolded techniques to
teach communicative skills related
to subject and grade-appropriate
material. Teachers also need to
apply several opportunities for
students to explore new learning
strategies.
- This is described as a
student-centered approach
that relies on
comprehensible input from
the learner. The emphasis
of this is the development
of language through
communication.
- Cognitive
Approach
- This is described
as a
student-centered
approach that
relies on learning
strategies that
are suitable for
each individual
learner.
- This approach
connects to the other
approaches and
methods because it
builds higher order
thinking skills and
provides differentiated
instruction. It connects
to The Calla Method
because explicit
instruction enhances
cognitive development.
- This approach is
applied through explicit
instruction. Teachers
need to model and
scaffold the learning
strategies that are
used for cognitive
development of the
learner.
- This is described
as a
student-centered
approach that
relies on learning
strategies that
are suitable for
each individual
learner.
- Grammatical
Approach
- This is a
teacher-centered
approach that focuses
on the mechanics and
rules of the desired
targeted language being
learned.
- This approach is connected
to a direct method of
instruction since it is
teacher-centered. However,
this approach does not
share the same styles of
learning as does The Calla,
Content-Based, and
Sheltered-Instruction
Methods.
- This approach is
applied through direct
instruction from the
teacher. The teacher
also puts emphasis
on drills, grammar
correction, and
repetitive practice.
- This is a
teacher-centered
approach that focuses
on the mechanics and
rules of the desired
targeted language being
learned.
- The Calla
Method
- This is described as an
instructional model for EL
students that integrates
content subjects, academic
language, and explicit
instruction.
- This method connects to The
Cognitive Approach because it
revolves around developmentally
appropriate language instruction.
Explicit instruction is also used
to enhance social and cognitive
learning strategies.
- This method is applied
through teacher scaffolding.
Teachers must prepare,
present, practice, evaluate,
and extend student
knowledge in order to
create a successful
learning environment.
- This is described as an
instructional model for EL
students that integrates
content subjects, academic
language, and explicit
instruction.
- Sheltered Method
of Instruction
- This is described as a method that gives
EL learners opportunities for the
development of language proficiency
through content knowledge and academic
skills that offer grade-appropriate
content and strategies.
- This method connects to The
Communicative Approach because it
relies heavily on learning strategies that
give students ample opportunities for
communication with peers and time to
self-assess their discoveries.
- This method is applied when teachers
model and scaffold the learning outcome, before
allowing the lesson to become student-centered.
This method applies when students use
communication skills and have several visual and
cooperative learning opportunities to build
academic language and higher order thinking skills.
- This is described as a method that gives
EL learners opportunities for the
development of language proficiency
through content knowledge and academic
skills that offer grade-appropriate
content and strategies.
- Content-Based
Method
- This is described as a
student-centered method that
focuses on teaching academic
language and improving language
proficiency through
developmentally appropriate
content.
- This method connects to The
Communicative Approach. This is
due to the heavy emphasis on
content and language integration.
This method is also
student-centered to allow
students with many strategies
for communication.
- This method is applied when
teachers set up an environment
that allows for student
interaction and opportunities for
peer communication. The
teacher may also use guided
inquiry to teach content-based
material. The material taught
needs to be rich in academic
vocabulary.
- This is described as a
student-centered method that
focuses on teaching academic
language and improving language
proficiency through
developmentally appropriate
content.
