  11. Methods and approaches “Designer” Methods • The Silent Way • Caleb Gattegno, Egyptian - ~1972 • When Gattegno studied himself as a learner, he realised that only awareness can be educated in humans. His approach is therefore based on producing awareness rather than providing knowledge. • Suggestopedia • Georgi Lozanov, Bulgarian - ~1971 • The intended purpose of Suggestopedia was to enhance learning by lowering the affective filter of learners • TPR - Total Physical Response • James Asher, American - ~1966 • It looks to the way that children learn their native language. From Wikipedia

  12. Methods and approaches • The wholistic Approach (CLL) (Community Language Learning) • The person as a whole • The Communicative Approach (CLT) • Notional – Functional Syllabi • The Natural Approach • Krashen, acquisition vs learning, ~1980
