MODERN APPROACHES AND METHODS IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Abstract

This article will take a closer look at four fresh teaching strategies that are grand slam with students. While traditional methodologies such as the audio-lingual and direct methods still offer useful elements, they’re clearly outdated in the modern classroom. The communicative approach, which was in vogue in the late ’90s, is still widely considered as the latest advancement in modern language teaching. Most TESOL/TEFL training programs still live and swear by it. However, it has become clearly evident that the needs of modern students have outpaced teachers’ and book publishers’ best strategies.
