Employing alternative constructive methods of teaching English

Abstract

This paper zeros in on the use of effective teaching and learning strategies. Traditional forms of teaching are changing rapidly with the advancement of technology. Technological innovations have begun to play a more important role in language teaching and learning, changing the presentation and perception of educational material. Thanks to these trends, the teaching process is becoming more focused on the real needs of students. There are many qualitative methods of English language teaching, but it is important to use the ones that will act as a stimulus to students’ lateral thinking development, encourage their creativity and improve their learning ability. The utilization of constructive methods of knowledge acquirement and sharing encourages students to collaborate, i.e., they study English with pleasure and maximum comfort, and make good progress. The article also mentions the role of the teacher in the educational process, which can be successful only if she/he appropriately understands the students’ learning capacity and interests and utilizes a multimedia approach to teaching.
