Abstract
The article contains a comparative analysis of PPP and TBLT approaches to the foreign language learning including the detailed description of the main stages of teaching and lessons planning in the framework of each approach; the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are also considered in the article. It is also emphasized that using TBLT approach in groups of students from non-linguistic universities with a low level of foreign language proficiency (A2) is rather difficult. In such situations authors recommend considering the traditional PPP method, which allows practicing and fixing the necessary speech patterns.
Highlights
In recent years, many researchers and educators have been discussing which approach to teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic university is the most effective in planning, structuring and conducting practical classes
Unlike the PPP approach, when completing communication tasks, students are free from language control by the teacher
Most educators typically use a wide variety of combinations of TBLT, PBL, and traditional methods such as PPP
Summary
✓ at the end, students move on to the production stage, or to the free practice stage. The PBL (Problem-Based Learning) approach is considered as a successful innovative teaching method, which is aimed at the student’s independent work In this method, the emphasis of teaching shifts from the teacher to the student. Unlike the PPP approach, when completing communication tasks, students are free from language control by the teacher. The studied language means are selected based on the needs of students, and not on the basis of a decision made in advance by the teacher or tasks proposed in the textbook The use of this method seems to be possible for any branch of science. While the advantages and disadvantages of PBL and TBLT are almost the same, a significant advantage of project-based language learning is the motivating element, especially for younger learners. It promotes the development of a higher level of thinking compared to the standard study of words and rules
