jan 1, 1970 - Mid XX Century

Description:

During this time other methods like silent way, the natural approach and the total physical response.

> The silent way
emphasizes learner autonomy and active student participation. Silence is used as a tool to achieve this goal; the teacher uses a mixture of silence and gestures to focus students' attention, to elicit responses from them, and to encourage them to correct their own errors.

> Natural approach
It aims to foster naturalistic language acquisition in a classroom setting, and to this end it emphasises communication, and places decreased importance on conscious grammar study and explicit correction of student errors.

> Total physical response
