Evaluating approaches to language teaching

How can we judge the value of different approaches to language teaching? This webinar explores Presentation–Practice–Production (PPP), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Dogme, considering their strengths and limitations against criteria informed by language-learning research. Classroom examples will help attendees reflect on what these approaches can offer their own learners.

Key take-aways

• Fresh perspectives on familiar approaches to language teaching

• A clearer understanding of their strengths and limitations

• Ideas for making informed teaching choices suited to your learners and context
