FOUNDATION OF METHODOLOGY

The nature of approaches and methods in language teaching
Identified three levels of conceptualization and organization, which he termed approach, method, and technique:
-  An approach is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the nature of language teaching and learning.
-  Method is an overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradicts, and all of which is based upon, the selected approach.
- A technique is implementational that which actually takes place in a classroom. Techniques must be consistent with a method, and therefore in harmony with an approach as well.
