Efficient and Effective Approaches and Methods in English Teaching

Generally speaking, the goal of English teaching is to help the student master English in the

shortest possible time. By mastering English, we mean that the student is able to have successful

communication with others in English. In order to reach the goal, English teachers as well as

applied linguists try hard to find out the most efficient and effective ways in English teaching.

I. What is the teaching approach?

It is not reinventing the wheel or a new teaching method. It includes many good points from

the different formal teaching approaches. It is efficient because it joins the language and the

content into one.

To use the Content Based Instruction teaching method, teaching courses are based on topics

to improve English language teaching, when students are studying and researching some easy

understood language, they will learn fast and remember it long. This is how the CBI teaching

method use some familiar skills and tactics of the above teaching ways in classes and realistic

life to make students control their study, including looking up reference materials, understanding

from the context to mastering the general idea of the text, getting important information,

listening to reports and making notes, as well as practicing writing skills. All in all, a teaching

method, which can teach the student how to learn, will be successful.

As an international language, English is spoken everywhere in the world. After entrance to

WTO, English is becoming more and more important in our daily life, as well as in economic

and cultural communication between different countries. Nowadays, English is taught in

kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and universities. Therefore, how to teach

English well or what is the efficient way in English teaching has become question worth

thinking for all the English teachers.

Communication in class of this teaching Approach

In such courses, students don’t keep silent; instead, such classes are not only the

co-operation between the teacher and the students, but also mainly depending on the students.

For example, in a writing class, a student and his partner either discuss in pair or take part in

conversations from time to time, and they will spend half less time than usual. Preparing a

reading or listening passage, the students can share the information and questions they have

known on the appointed topic. When they finish reading or listening, they can discuss the

information they have got and compare it with their experience. In discussion, the students also

can get more information by asking others.

In such a class, the students can be trained in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. It

gets all the students acting. And the teacher is just an organizer. The students learn English in

communication.

Grammar teaching in class

In such a course, grammar teaching is not just for teaching grammar, instead the students

learn about some concerned grammar knowledge in order to finish a writing or speaking

1

practice, or understanding a particular reading or listening passage. For example, while listening

a program about smoking on radio, they are able to learn the difference between “she stopped

smoking” and “she stopped to smoking”. Then it can be turned into their skill, forming a

efficient and attractive way for learning a language. To learn grammar in such a way, it will

become more easy and interesting not boring.

We can summarize the way into the following aspects:

1. Students should be taught to use English, not only to learn some knowledge about

English. When we give the students an English lesson, we should ask them to know not only the

meaning of English words, sentences and how to pronounce them, but how to use them. As

English teacher we should give them as many opportunities as possible to practice English.

Practice make perfect. For example, when we teach them how to make a telephone call in

English, we may ask them to make a similar dialogue in pairs in class. We should encourage

them to try their best to communicate with each other as often as possible in or out of class.

English is taught as a tool for communicating. When students begin learning English, maybe

some of them are afraid of opening their mouths in class, so in class they just listen to the

teachers, and do what their teacher ask them to do. They study English passively. In such a case,

we should encourage them to be brave and active, help them to form their self-confidence, and

tell them to think hard when learning English. Once they make some progress, praise them in

time. Little by little, they will be more and more interested in studying English.

2. The method used in teaching is a combination of modernism and traditional. It does not

follow one single method but incorporates in it the effective points of audio-lingual

traditionalism and communicative language trending. We should look after the development of

both language knowledge and communicative competence. It doesn’t simply teach the students

language, but provide plenty of opportunities for students to use English and they should learn

English for the purpose of using it.

3. The language material is arranged from simple to difficult according to grammatical

structure.

4. Learning before teaching. Before class, the students should get well prepared for the

materials, then in the class they can know what they should focus on. This can help make things

easier. They should pay special attention to what they need to know, listening carefully and

making notes about it.

5. In teaching course, the students should be divided into groups according to their grades.

Students in a class are in different grades, that is, some of them have a good foundation in

English, and the others have a bad foundation. It is necessary for us to divide them into different

groups and give them different requirements in English learning. In class, we can appoint them

to do different assignments according to their situation. For example, for the good students we

give them leveled practice, while for the students with poor knowledge, we can give them some

basic practice, such as remembering the new words, key phrases and expressions. In this way,

we can suit out teaching to the needs of different type of students and make our teaching

interesting and effective. What is more, the divided groups are changeable when their situation

changed. For example, some students find it difficult to catch up the students in the same group,

2

the teacher may give them lowered requirements. On the other hand, some students feel it easy

to finish the teacher’s appointed homework; the teacher can give them leveled requirement.

They can go into group A from B.

II. What should a teacher do in English teaching?

1. English teacher should be a good guider. “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day; teach a

man how to fish and he’ll eat all his life.” From the viewpoint of language teaching, we know

that an English teacher should not only teach students English knowledge but teach them how to

study and develop their self-taught abilities.

(1) Guide the students to draw up a good study plan. “Everything will be done well if it is

well-prepared.” At the very beginning of the term, the teacher should guide the students to draft

a study plan so that they can understand what to do and how to study orderly.

a) Explaining the English teaching task plan and demands of the term to the students.

b) Guiding them to lay down a study plan which suits to the teacher’s demands and their

actual situation, to discuss their plans and former study method with their classmates.

(2) Tell the students to remember effectively. There are many difficulties in English study,

which can be seen in pronunciation, memory, comprehension and usage. But remembering the

new words is the most difficult of all. So the teacher should guide them to remember the new

words efficiently and help them establish their self-confidence in English learning. During the

process, two things must be done:

a) Teach the students to remember effectively. Different from other subjects, English

focuses on remembering and replying. The teacher should make the students understand the

laws and methods of remembering, encourage them to face difficulty, and remember with all

organs—such as eyes, nose, tongue, ears and body.

b) Teach them to revise on time. German psychologist Ebbinghaus’ Curve of Forgetting

shows the regular pattern of forgetting—the remembered materials will fade away from the

memory, first rapidly, and then slowly. The only way to engrave in the brain is to revise on time.

It is suitable to recall the materials of learning for the first time after 10 minutes; the second time

after 24 hours; and a week later for the third time. In the course of this, what the teacher should

do is to supervise them to keep reappearing the materials at a regular interval until they root in

their brains.

(3) Guide the students to make good use of their time. The students have much time to

control except the classroom learning. The teacher must teach them to plan their time

reasonably.

Morning time is the best time for reading. The teacher should inform the students to spend

about 30 minutes reading English aloud every morning. This is helpful for their English fluency.

In the evening, the students must review the days’ new words and structures before they go to

bed because the materials of bedtime memory will last long. If the students keep doing this day

by day, their vocabulary will be seen increasing.

(4) Teach the students how to use their reference materials. The students have many

English materials to choose besides textbooks--- such as dictionaries, reference books and tapes.

3

It’s badly needed for the teacher to guide the students to make good use of them at anytime.

a) Ask the students to use dictionaries as often as possible. A good dictionary is a

excellent teacher. So it is necessary for the students to use dictionary to preview the lessons,

correct the pronunciation and spelling, look up the meaning and usage of the new words. If

some aspects cannot be settled by referring to the dictionaries, such as important structures,

difficult points, they can make notes and leave them for classroom learning.

b) Show the students how to make notes accurately. The teacher should help the students

make notes as details as possible by making English flash cards in revision classes.

Well-designed cards include: pronunciation, word tape, grammatical function and language

usage. The notes collected by the students will be different, so the teacher should require them to

exchange their cards periodically, which will enable them to absorb each other’s good points and

improve their English standard evenly.

c) Inform the students to arrange their notes regularly. Through the process of learning

English the students can also train their thought in English. Teacher should make them think in

English and get them arrange their notes to make their information in order and systematically.

At the same time, the students must consult English reference books to reinforce the lessons.

d) Help them to develop their language sense. A good language sense can not be achieved

easily without strict training and hard working. In order to form a good sense of language, the

teacher must not only stimulate the students to read aloud and extensively, but also demand

them to listen to The English tape, watch English videos and movies frequently. A lot of

attention must be paid to encourage students to seize any opportunities to practice English. One

topic of conversation every day is enough. In this way, our students will get a feeling that they

are dipping into the sea of English.

2. English teacher should help their students improve their study habits.

Maybe some students are average ones with average intelligence. They seldom get good

grades, especially in English study. They are more interested in parties than Studying English,

and in sports than scholarship. The fact is that they don’t study very hard, so it is very important

for us English teachers to help them improve their studying habits. We English teachers should

have them plan their time carefully, find a good place to study, and tell them how to read and

how to make full use of their class time, to study regularly and face the tests correctly.

(1) Let them plan their time carefully. When they plan for a trip, the first thing they must

do is to make a list of things to take. If they don’t, they are almost certain to leave something

important at home. When they plan their weeks, they should make a list of things that they have

to do. Otherwise, they may forget to leave enough time to complete an important task. First fill

in committed time, like time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time

for study. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that they are normally assigned

each week. Of course, studying shouldn’t take up all their free time. Don’t forget to leave

enough time for entertainment, hobbies, and relaxation. A weekly schedule may not solve all

problems, but it will make them to realize what is happening to their time.

(2) Ask them to find a good place to study. They should find a good, quiet place for

studying. Keep the place away from games, radios and TV. If they cannot find such a place at

4

home, they can go to a library where they can study. When they sit down to study, they should

concentrate on they subject.

(3) Tell them how to read. When they read a passage, scan it before reading, which means

go over the passage quickly and thoroughly before they read it more carefully. In this way, they

can preview the material and get a general idea of the content. This will help the students to skip

less information. When they begin reading, this will help them double their reading speed and

improve their comprehension.

(4) They should make good use of their time in class. Take advantage of class time to

listen to what the teacher says. Sit where they can see and hear clearly. Listening carefully in

class means less work after class. Taking notes will help them remember what is taught in class.

Taking notes only about the subject of the class, when the teacher get off it, stop taking notes!

(5) Ask them study regularly. When they get home from school, they should go over their

notes, go over the important points that their teacher mentioned in class, and read any related

materials the teacher is going to deal with the following day. It will help them understand the

next class. If they keep doing these things regularly, the materials will become meaningful.

IV. Conclusion:

In conclusion, the best teaching method is to develop students’ interest in English study,

and teach the students how to study. The way should be based on the developing of the students’

abilities and students- centered.

Goal of English teaching will be as part of all-round education and nurturing of students’

quality. The model of teaching will be student-centered teaching with students as the active

performer and the teacher as the guide. The teaching methodology will be multi-level practice

with communicative ability as the aim. The emphasis should be placed on how to teach and how

to learn on the part of the students.

In a word, the efficient way of English teaching is to teach students how to learn and use it

as much as possible. The way must meet the needs of the students and help develop their

abilities in communication. A good studying habit and a good language sense are also very

important for the students to study English well and easily.
