This document discusses several approaches to teaching language arts: communicative language teaching (CLT), integrative approach, thematic approach, and teaching English as a second language (TESL). CLT focuses on real communication and uses students' natural language acquisition strategies. Its advantages include student involvement and building vocabulary and fluency, though it may lack focus on accuracy. The integrative approach emphasizes learner-centered learning through topics of interest to help students become lifelong learners. The thematic approach connects curriculum areas through themes, while TESL teaches English to non-native speakers using methods like the direct approach and total physical response.

- 1. LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TEACHING APPROACHES TO TEACHING LANGUAGE ARTS Group members: Japhia Beckford Kesian Bennett Rashida Harrison Tashana Tulloch Myesha Wilson
- 3. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning and as such this is what communicative language teaching is about. With communicative language teaching the learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition is being used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language well.
- 4. ADVANTAGES OF THE C.L.T Both teachers and students are involved in the process but the students does most of the talking, Helps with the building of vocabulary Facilitates successful interaction. CLT addresses another area which constantly challenges teachers, the mixed-ability class.
- 5. DISADVANTAGES OF THE C.L.T Accuracy as Well as Fluency Some of the structures or functions may never be used in real life (an example is adjective order). Inadequate focus on structure, Grammatical rules accuracy.
- 6. METHODS AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLT APPROACH Cooperative learning Role play Situational teaching Dialogues Manipulation of information
- 7. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH The integrated approach calls for learning by doing, learner-centered learning in learner-interest contexts. The easiest common context in schools is the curriculum, but individual learner interest can still be engaged by choosing topics and examples that are topical and contextual to the learner’s lives.
- 8. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Learning through an integrated studies approach is enhanced when students are actively engaged in meaningful and relative topics. Learners construct and produce knowledge by solving problems, conducting inquiry, engaging in reflection and building a repertoire of effective strategies. Integrated studies help students to become life long learners and allow efficient coverage and delivery of curriculum in terms of expertise, resources and time.
- 9. ADVANTAGES OF THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Facilitates reinforcement of learning Variety within Learning Classroom Culture Curriculum Advancements
- 10. DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Interest Issues Content Issues A Turn with Classroom Culture
- 11. METHODS AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH An instructional approach in which reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing activities are connected through the use of literature. A multi-sensory method to give students experiences to watch and listen to the interactive video. Employ live on- screen stories followed by thought-provoking questions.
- 12. METHODS AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Collaborate with other teachers in the grade you teach. Create your lesson plans with the collaborative details in mind. Deliver the lesson to students and have them participate in the planned activities. Meet with the other teachers in your grade team to check how the lessons are going. Setting tasks that are open-ended in order to support problem solving and critical thinking.
- 13. THEMATIC APPROACH “This is a way of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected together and integrated within a theme” (show-me-wow.com) It is a whole school approach where the national curriculum areas are based around a theme. This method encourages children to use, apply and develop their knowledge and skills within relevant situations to then be used in real life.
- 14. ADVANTAGES OF THE THEMATIC APPROACH Connections Basic critical thinking skills applied to meaningful contexts. Variety of learning Classroom Culture
- 15. DISADVANTAGES OF THE THEMATIC APPROACH Lack of learning material to support theme e.g. in Literature Prescribed theme not suitable for some students. Academic Ability
- 16. METHODS AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE THEMATIC APPROACH Research projects Drama Reports Discussion of relevance of theme to students’ experience
- 17. TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Teaching English as a second language (TESL) refers to teaching English to students whose first language is not English, usually offered in a region where English is the dominant language and natural English language immersion situations are apt to be plentiful. Communicative language teaching (CLT) emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.
- 18. ADVANTAGES OF TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Reinforces identity Boosts confidence Acknowledgement of language competence in 1st language.
- 19. DISADVANTAGES OF TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Jamaican Creole not used internationally. Ambivalent attitude towards Jamaican Creole. Stigma attached to Jamaican Creole. Jamaican Creole not easily written or read.
- 20. METHODS AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH TESL The Direct Approach The Reading Approach The Audio-lingual Method Total Physical Response
