Learning English as a Second Language through basic Approaches and Methods

Abstract

This paper is aimed to find out how school and college teachers use the Approaches and Methods in their teachings. This qualitative study analyses how teachers have to be aware in picking Approaches and Methods before they deliver certain materials and treat their students. They teach in schools considering English as a Foreign Language. This study found that the teachers only used several Approaches and Methods like Grammar-translation Method which discuss language rules of first language and target language, Audio-lingual Method where drilling is used, and so on. Later, this study is expected to help teachers in preparing their teaching in the classroom, and which teaching Methods and Approaches they should use in teaching the students.
