third presentation about the methods

THE NATURAL APPROACH

I like this method because it foster the comunicative competente in students not gramatical pefection, however, I think that when we learn a second language we need some gramatical structures in order to speak correctly; because there are some people who speak another language, but they have a very bad grammar and it sounds as if they don`t know the language. Another point is that some people can`t understand when they speak.

Another thing that I like from this method is that make students to feel relax during the process of second languae acquisition. In this way students feel the learning process easier and it becomes more effective!

Something that I like from this method is that students are active during the class so that I would like to apply this method in my classes!

What I don`t like from this method is that students speak until they feel confotable and  sure to speak, but sometimes we as teacher cannot wait until students want to speak, so in this point this method is not good at all because we have to make them speak as much as possible. Unfortunately if we don`t force students to do it some of them will never speak.

THE ORAL APPROACH AND SITUATIONAL LANGUAGE TEACHING

I like this method because it is similar to the direct method which is the best one that I have studied up to now!

This method emphazises in the use of the target language since the beginning of the process. It is supposed that teaching skill are more developed in this method, but students also learn writting and reading after they know sufficient lexical. 

Another point that I like form this method is that it goes from the simple to the complex things. In my point of view this is the best way to learn whatever not only a second language. Besides this method emphazises in the fact that if we make mistakes and we don`t correct them since the begginning, we are going to get the bad habit of making mistakes always. That`s why we have to avoid and correct making mistakes since the beginning of the second language acquisition.

I would apply this method because the activity types are very interesting and I guess students would like them.
