Analysis of the teaching
language methodology and its impact on recent advancements

Introduction
Connectivity between countries has
become increasingly essential as the world has shrunk due to globalisation.
Conversation nowadays is multi-dimensional and diverse (S. Avrupa Birliine
& Tok, H, 2008-2009). Language is the most crucial key to continuous growth
and learning in today's society, as we live in the 21st century. Language needs
us to do things like read, write, think, solve problems, criticise, and understand.
Language is the most fundamental source of social, intellectual, and emotional
growth. Language has a crucial role in a variety of functions, including
communication, expressing feelings and thoughts, integrating with the outside
environment, and cultural affinity and engagement. Language influences
attributes such as people's opportunity to develop, overcome challenges,
analyze scientifically, have diverse values, and have a broad viewpoint. This
example demonstrates that language abilities should be acquired throughout
one's life, as well as during school. Several nations value a modest supply of
written by hand documents of some form, rather of creative approaches and
curricula for each tem, there may be a few texts in the native context or a primitive
vocabulary that lists usage standard in bilingual speakers adjacent each other
(Murcia, M. C. 1991). Numerous developments and advances occurred in the field
of communication interface ideas during the twentieth century. In the history
of language education methods and approaches, there has been a trend away from
methods that emphasise reading and learning in favour of methods that emphasise
listening and speaking (Kamhuber, P, Wein,2010).
Significant improvements in
curriculum and teaching methodologies occurred in the new century. The
twentieth-century pedagogy differs from the twenty-first-century pedagogy.
There are already significant developments in the evolution of regional and
world learning since the beginning of the 20th century. Internalization of
society and the infiltration of computer media into education are the most
visible phenomena. The present generation of schoolchildren is recognised as
electronic, culturally electronic (Hietajärvi L, Tuominen-Soini H, Salmela-Aro
K, Lonka K, 2015, Hakkarainen K), and
generation digital (Millennials Rising , Howe N, Strauss W, 2009). Education is
the transition from acquiring knowledge by reading, from just a teacher's
speech to visual cortex, or from a class argument to knowledge.
Our manner of life, communication,
thinking, sentiments, channels of influence on others, social skills, and
social conduct are all influenced by digital technologies. "The high-tech
environment - laptops, mobile phones, games consoles, Web - based resources,"
Myamesheva says, "reshapes the brain activity" (Myamesheva G, 2015).

Purpose
of the paper:
New scientific advancements,
digitization, globalisation, the growth of aerospace engineering, computers,
and cognitive computing are all causing substantial changes in the twenty-first
century. The "Age of Digital Skills and Science" has been coined for
the 21st decade." What is the state of education in the twenty-first
century? What is the evolution of learning theory? There is a big controversy
these days that the curriculum hasn't evolved much in the last decade, or even
two decades. Is it possible for instructors to adapt to new variations? The
goal of this study is to review current changes in teaching methodologies for
the use of different teaching methods and to investigate instructors'
perceptions of those advances. The extension of the discipline of education, an
ecological method to teaching, the digitized age and the changes that are
occurring, and instructional creativity are all outlined in this study. The
goal of this study is to review existing deviations in teaching methodologies
for the use of different methods of teaching and to investigate instructors'
perceptions of those advances. The extension of the discipline of education, an
ecological method to teaching, the digitized age and the changes that are
occurring, and instructional creativity are all outlined in this study.
In a symbolic sense, educational
method has two levels. Devolution and diversity, globalization of learning, and
the integration of computer media happen at the macro-level in the
"education-society" interaction. At the group-level, there is an
active mix of classic and novel ways in the "teacher-learner"
connection, as well as a mixture of an activity approach with a power
environmental method, cognitive with social constructivist, and constructivist
learning.

Language
Teaching Methods: A Quick Overview
In this section of the study, we'll
try and capture the evolution of methods of teaching over time and examine
which method emerged as a result of the shortcomings of the previous ones. To
put it another way, which linguistic viewpoint or perspective does a method
rely on? The teacher's methodology can either inhibit or enhance teaching and
learning. It goes on to say that a teacher should be familiar with a number of
teaching techniques from which to choose during the teaching and learning
process.
"Method" is defined by
Ezeude (2007) as "an overall approach for the orderly production of
language knowledge, none of which opposes the others, and all of which is based
on the chosen methodology". He points out that a technique is functional,
and there are various techniques inside a single approach. A technique,
according to Ezeude, is the levels at which decisions are made regarding which
skills to teach and in what order the content will be provided. Methodology is
defined by the National Teachers' Institute Book 3 as the methods through which
a teacher conveys his contents to students and involves them in the work at
hand.
A method, according to Bell (1981),
is the deployment of the ideas that make up an approach to the situation of
learning language. He points out that a methodology will usually be coupled
with an educational grammatical or grammatical rules, as well as concepts that
drive the design of such grammatical structures, as well as the choosing of
items to be taught and pedagogical approaches.
Language teaching methods, as per
Mekiliuwa (2008), refer to educational procedures and practices employed in the
teaching of a second language. According to Umaru (2005), a pedagogical
methodology is a set of methods or strategies that are used in a structured
manner for the objective of advanced training. In this fragment of the study,
we'll attempt to capture the evolution of communicative teaching language over
time and examine which approach emerged as an outcome of the shortcomings of
the previous ones. Also analyze which one adopts or founder the other's
methods. We'll look at the methods that led to the various methods once again.
3.1 The Grammar Translation Method (GT)
The GT Method may be directly
traced to the customary technique to learning Greek and Latin during the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, albeit it was only nineteenth
century that it was adopted for other contemporary languages such as French,
German, and English. It began in Europe and quickly expanded across Europe.
Several schools had embraced the GT approach by the end of the nineteenth
century. According to Arthur (2010), the GT Method's objectives are to learn a
language in order to understand its literature. Grammar is taught deductively,
with the introduction and study of grammar rules followed by translation problems
to practise the rules. The focus in this strategy is on grammatical and
interpretation.
It prioritises writing and
reading above speaking. Medieval books were also used for reading and
writing. It also was started to read aloud. The emphasis in Greek and Latin
classes was on precise grammar (grammatical rules, forms, and structure),
connector, memory, reciting, delivery of multilingual lexicon lists, and
textual interpretation, with minimal time for pronouncing drills. Tasks in
interpretation from L1 to L2 were completed. As a result, the importance is
placed on formal text before moving on to oral communication.
GT was very descriptive, according
to Anasiudu (2002). It was thought to be too regimented. The GT technique
implies that a student has achieved linguistic competence after he has mastered
the rules. The training sessions and queries in GT are done in the learner's
original language. The GT Method instilled mental description in learners by reasonable
analysis of language into expressions, parts, and sentences, as well as
memorization of the components of speech. This places a premium on the capacity
to analyse rather than the ability to communicate effectively in real-life
settings. As a result of the GT Method, pupils learn grammatical rules but lack
communicative ability. According to Ezeude (2007), the GT Method's main flaw is
its disregard for effective communication, with no or little emphasis placed on
appropriate speech and tone. The GT Technique is clearly the oldest and most
traditional method of language instruction, but it is important to emphasize
that, despite its flaws, it is still widely used in Nigeria for language
instruction.
Conversion can be effective in the instruction
of language, but not when aura-oral abilities (listening and speaking) and
language proficiency are disregarded, as language is primarily a communication
medium. This circumstance could be compared to what most of us experienced
during our four years of undergraduate French elective classes. Although we had
a good understanding of the syntax, rules, and linguistic structure, we lacked
conversational ability in French language. This is in stark contradiction to
the Alliance Francaise experience, where communication is prioritized. The term
GT was coined by critics who claimed that this strategy does not generate
language-proficient students. It was thought to be overly rigid, with
regulations that prevented language shift.
3.2 The Direct Approach (DM)
The DM resulted from a response to
GT. This strategy attempts to replicate the exposure that youngsters receive
when learning a new language as they grow older. It includes depicting the L1
acquisition's Visual stimuli technique. Everything is supposed in L2 in this method.
In other words, teachers employed the L2 would never use the students' native
tongue, hence translations were unnecessary. It focuses on spoken language
rather than vocabulary lists or grammatical rules explanations. It is
anticipated that the learners will choose the standard rules over time.
Although most student’s statement is profited from the direct technique in some
circumstances, such as in the case of Berlitz language schools, others do not.
It focuses on listening, speaking, reading, and writing (at stage of learning).
To make teaching and learning extra realistic, teachers employ instructional
resources such as charts and illustrations. It necessitates the use of teachers
who are fluent in the mother tongue. The students can only be as good as the
teacher in this manner. (Source: Ezeude, 2007).
The Direct Method (DM) was established
in the 1890s in reaction to the Grammar-Translation Method's apparent
inadequacy to educate students how to improve communication. The claim was that
the Grammar-Translation Method only taught students about the original
language, not how to speak it. Translation does not exist in DM. In reality,
mother-tongue interaction is strictly prohibited, with all conversation taking
place in the original language. Visual aids and miming are used to demonstrate
vocabulary. Although writing and reading are vital, speaking and listening
abilities take precedence. Instead of being imposed, grammar is discovered.
3.3 The Audio-Lingual Method (Aural-Oral method)
The approach arose from an effort
in the 1940s to enhance on the Direct Method by developing more fundamental resources
for teaching pupils as they progressed from basic to difficult tasks. The Army
Specialized Teaching Programme used the Audio-Lingual Method, that was created
by Fries in the United States, for the first time in the 1940s. In the 1950s,
the approach was further refined. Learners are allowed to mimic the
instructor's actions. It considers language to be a form of behaviour. It is
influenced by the ideas that communication may be acquired via practice because
it is a skill. The technique is still used today. Bloomfield Structuralism
Linguistics, which is deeply influenced by Behaviourism, has affected this
technique. Because the importance of speech over writing drives the kinds of
behavior, auditory activities are prioritised above reading and listening. This
approach was created and widely used during World War II, and it was used to
teach warriors foreign languages, that's why it is also known as the army
method. According to Ezeude (2007), the increased focus paid to second language
education in the United States aided the creation of this system, which builds
on army experience. Brooks (1964) proposed the name Audio-lingual rather than
the less inclusive aural-oral technique, which he quotes.
The Aural-Oral Way is another name
for this procedure of learning language. According to this strategy, faster
growth of listening and speaking abilities is possible. Kids are taught how to
apply syntactic grammatical forms using the audio - lingual method. When this
approach was created, it was assumed that training, or allowing students react
positively to signals through modeling and rewarding, was the great way to know
the grammatical forms of the foreign language.
The concepts that underpin the
Audio-lingual Method are as follows:
·
Writing and reading skills came after
listening and speaking skills.
·
The formation of habits is crucial for
the development of language abilities.
·
Students rehearse certain linguistic
features through regulated discourse and drill until they can respond
automatically.
·
Repeated drills are used to teach
structured themes and patterns.
·
The goal is for pupils to create
error-free utterances.
·
Active learning styles are supported by
this way of language acquisition.
·
The only vocabulary and sentences that
are taught are those that are used on a daily basis. Demonstrations, objects,
and visuals, used to teach concrete vocabulary. The connection of ideas is used
to teach abstract vocabulary.
·
As much as possible, the printed word
should be kept away from the second language learner.
3.4 The Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP)
It is a specialized training
programme for soldiers (ASTP). As previously stated, the Audio-Lingual Method
was crucial to the ASTP. It was put to use for the organisation of rigorous
language training for army members. The United States' involvement in Second
World War had a profound impact on language instruction. There was a serious
lack of service people who could communicate successfully in French, German, Japanese,
Chinese, Malay, and other multiple languages.
As a result, the government requested certain prestigious Universities and
colleges to build foreign language education for the ASTP in 1942. The
program's objective was to develop conversational or communicative skills. It
was as if I was immersed in the experience. The students were forced to 'feed
the language, breathe the language, play the language, quarrel the language,
express the language,' in other words, they were forced to live in the target
language for the duration of the programme.
During World War II, a group of
American institutions to address emergency needs for military officers and
troops with engineering ability. The ASTP was established in September 1942 and
went into effect in December, after which a nationwide testing programme was
performed among male college students. Applicants who scored over the
appropriate standard were referred to the Army Specialized Training Program,
which provided intense engineering and scientific training at state grant
universities across the country.
3.5 The Cognitive Code Method
The cognitive-code approach of the
1970s highlighted the significance of dynamic cognitive processes in learning
language. The cognitive-code approach underlined the importance of meaningful
practice and provided the structures inductively, meaning the rules came after
exposure to examples. Furthermore, there was very little usage of real-life
instances.
The method originated in response
to the audio-lingual method, and it is founded on the premise that
communication is guided by rules. As a result, learning languages is more about
the establishment of rules than it is about the creation of habits. Because
foreign language learners cannot sound exactly like native speakers of the
language, the method is founded on the notion that writing is as significant as
speech. As a result, there is no need to overstress pronunciation. The
technique assumes that language has something to do with the mind, hence it
concentrates on the learner's cognitive capabilities. It highlights the
differences between the target and reference languages. Although a few consider
the cognitive code teaching method to be a modified form of the
grammar-translation method, according to Umaru (2005), it appears to have its
roots in Cognitive science and transformation linguistics. This method was
criticised because it appeared to be turning clocks back to the
Grammar-Translation Method, which required norm awareness.
3.6 The Eclectic Method
The eclectic approach refers to a
teacher's utilisation of processes and technologies from a variety of
linguistic teaching methods and approaches in the gradual shift from teachers
following one particular framework. Based on the lesson's goals and the
students in the group, the teacher provides the technique or method to use.
Mostly every current course book incorporates a variety of strategies and
strategies.
This strategy is dependent on the
teacher's personal characteristics and ability to connect with the students. It
does not adhere to a particular method, but rather employs a range of
techniques and procedures. It considers approaches to be complementary. It
asserts that each approach is insufficient in and of itself. Its prevalence and
lack of self-confidence are its flaws. According to De Carrico and
Larsen-Freeman (2002), the educational grammars are often more eclectic,
relying on insights from formal and functional grammars, as well as corpus
linguistics, narrative analysis, and conceptual frameworks research.
3.7 The Communicative Language Teaching Method (CLT)
The CLT, which is perhaps the
newest method in language instruction, sprang from discontent with the
Audio-Lingual Method's pattern practice. CLT, according to Arthur (2010),
incorporates pedagogical principles from a variety of analysis methods and is
thus flexible to a variety of learner needs and styles. Lessons and arranged
ideas such as 'asking for things,' 'how to interact with others,' 'how to
present a speech in a meeting,' 'how to address seniors,' and so on, it focuses
on functions rather than forms of language ( Agbedo, 2011). It focuses on the
skills required to communicate and comprehend many types of functions such as
requesting, explaining, articulating, and able to express likes and dislikes,
and so on. It is geared toward efforts to provide more purposeful materials for
L2 language instruction (e.g English for Engineers; English for Non-Igbo Youth
Corps Members serving in Igbo Land etc.). It employs a conceptual syllabus as
well as other communicative activities structured syllabi. This strategy
emphasises the use of language and the importance of communication. Theoretical
syllabi are intended to take care of communicative information from the start
while also taking grammatical and structural variables into account. Role playing,
modeling, theatre, storytelling, group activities, dialogue, and discourse are
all used in CLT. It is primarily learner-centered, with a focus on the
learner's communication needs. By the mid-1970s, both British and American
proponents of the CLT had broadened its scope, according to Ezeude (2007), who
now regard it as an approach rather than just a tool.
When it comes to the communicative
method, it emphasizes the significance of teaching communicative ability rather
than linguistic knowledge; as a result, functionalities are prioritised above
patterns. Students frequently perform several tasks on conversational exercises
with instructional material, where they practise constructing content. (See,
for example, Snow (2010).) Ezeude (2007), regretting Nigeria's underdevelopment
in communicative language teaching, finds that the cooperative learning to
language instruction is still yet to be implemented due to a lack of resources.
Language classes has gone through the phases of sentence construction (traditional
technique), cognitive approach, and audio-lingual approaches, he regrets that
Nigeria still uses text books modeled after the Sentence construction Method (
making use of audio-visual aids, like film projectors, language laboratories,
video and monitors etc.)
There are numerous benefits to instructing
with a speaking skill:
·
CLT is a comprehensive strategy. It is
not solely concerned with the usual structural syllabus. It takes into account
the communicative aspect of language.
·
CLT invigorates and motivates students
in class.
·
The learner is at the core of CLT. It
takes advantage of the learner's needs and desires.
·
CLT can play an integral role in
teaching in a world where information communication and knowledge innovation
have broken new territory.

Current
Issues in Teaching Language Methodologies
According to Davies (2007), that
the history of language education is, in fact, the history of techniques,
noting that new methods arrive and vanish, and that, at the end of the day, if
one looks closely, one will see that a method has recycled itself after a
reasonable period of time. He goes on to say that because relying solely on one
approach would almost always result in failure, all methods will inevitably be
replaced by various or renewed possibilities. Language education systems are
interactive rather than fixed. Ezeude summarises this as follows:
"Teaching and learning, then, have distinct methodologies and
approaches." These would be variable and vary over time, thus you can't
deliver today's commodities with trucks from previous ages... These
modifications in techniques and methodologies are a result of progress in
science and technology, which have resulted in improvements in language
education technologies. According to Odo (2007), within the last three decades,
newer methods of teaching languages have emerged which he collectively refers
to as “Humanistic Approach”. These include Suggestopedia, The Silent Method,
Community Language Learning Method, Natural Method, Delayed Oral Practice
Method, Total Physical Response Method, Teaching aids and Materials Method.
Snow (2010) summarises eight language teaching methods: the Grammar-Translation
Method, the Direct Method, the Audio-Lingual Method, the Silent Way, Suggestopedia,
Community Language Learning, the Total Physical Response Method, and the
Communicative Approach; however, we will focus on the Silent Way,
Suggestopedia, Community Language Learning, the Total Physical Response Method,
and the Communicative Approach because they are similar to contemporary
advancements. According to Snow (2010), Gattegno's Silent Way is based on the
premise that teaching must be subjugated to knowledge, and that pupils must
establish their own internal accuracy criterion. Reading, writing, speaking,
and listening are all studied from its very starting. Learners' mistakes are
anticipated as way of learning, and the instructor's silence encourages ego and
student motivation. The instructor helps set up situations, but the students do
the most of the talking and interaction. (See Snow (2010) for more detail.)
Suggestopedia helps the learners overcome psychological obstacles to learning,
as according Lozanov's method. Low lights and relaxed atmosphere in the
background create a calm and relaxing learning atmosphere. In the culture of
the target language, students think of a person with a name and a character.
Music is played when the dialogues are delivered. Students just unwind while
listening to them read aloud, and then practise the language in a pleasant
manner during a "activation" period. (See Snow (2010) for more
information.) Teachers see pupils as "complete persons" with
cognition, sentiments, impulses, physical sensations, and a willingness to
learn, according to Curren's method of community language learning. Teachers
are also aware that learning can be a risky proposition. Instructors help kids
feel secure and overcome their concerns by recognising and understanding their
fears, allowing them to draw energy and enthusiasm. Learners choose whether
they actually want to learn in the chosen language, therefore the syllabus is
learner-generated. (See, for example, Snow (2010).) According to Asher's
methodology, the total physical response method starts with listening
comprehension, replicating the initial stages of mother language development,
and then moves on to speaking, reading, and writing. Students show their
understanding by acting out the teacher's orders; teachers present unique and
frequently amusing variants of the instructions. The activities are intended to
be enjoyable and encourage students to take an active role in the process. Sports
and performances will ultimately be included in the programs. (See, for
example, Snow (2010).) The communicative method highlights the importance of
teaching language proficiency instead of linguistic knowledge, focusing on
functions rather than methods. Students usually work in groups on speaking
activities that include instructional assessment, where they gain experience
understanding meaning. (For more details, see Snow (2010).) Ezeude (2007),
while criticising Nigeria's sluggish language teaching method, claims that
constructivist competence in language education has yet to be applied,
resulting in a resource scarcity. He bemoans the fact that Nigeria still
employs text books based on the Grammar-Translation Method after language
acquisition has progressed through the phases of grammar-translation
(traditional technique), direct method, and audio-lingual methods ( making use
of audio-visual aids, like film projectors, language laboratories, video and
monitors etc.)
5.
Learner’s
Variation
There is widespread consensus that
no two students are alike. They will differ not only based on visible features
such as demographic characteristics, but also based on cognitive style
preferences. When given the same content in the same session, certain students
will find it worthwhile and learn well, while others might find the same duties
unappealing and will not gain the advancement they would.
There might be some disagreement
about what these varieties of learning approaches are. Language ability study
yields the most academically challenging methods to language learning style.
The language learning aptitude model proposed by Carroll and Sapon (1957) is
still widely used. There are four aspects of potential that have been observed:
·
Short attention span
·
the ability to generate sound-to-sound
correlations
·
grammatical awareness
·
Linguistic inference skills are all
important
Only two different learning styles
were readily established after quantitative tests of learners' scores on tests
produced from this type of approach: logical novices and memory-based learners,
while a third group who were strong at both emerged (Skehan, 1989). In theory,
analytic learners should benefit the most from a grammar - translation method
course, whereas memorizers should benefit the most from a communicative
language teaching approach.
One of the benefits of aptitude
research is that it is linked to diagnostic testing, allowing teachers to
identify their students' prospective strengths and limitations and use suitable
teaching resources and tactics just before classes begin. There is verifiable
research that students who learn in a fashion that is tailored to their style
of learning, as determined by this type of research, have a learning edge over
others who are not (Wesche, 1981).
The most recent set of documented
proficiency tests, Meara et al (2001), are computerized administered and
evaluated, present assessments of specific learners' benefits and drawbacks,
and offer guidance on the theoretical and practical implications of the
learning environments they propose. They're made for people who aren't
specialists.
6.
The
Research Study's Objectives
The goal of the study is to
discover the following:
1) the role of technology to the
advancement of the English language education method.
2) a set of methods to help faculty
and learners to remove barriers that presently prevent the use of
technological advancements in Language classes.
3) viable replacements and/or
substitutions for standard learning in terms of improving instructor
productivity and learner ability to learn English.
4) To address the increased demand,
suitable IT training for Language teachers is required.
5) the advantages and disadvantages
of utilising technology to teach English.
6) technical methods to improve and
systems that allow pupils to acquire through an electronically curriculum.
7. The Motivation of Research
The learner's motivation to learn
determines how well a curriculum is implemented. This is because motivation is
important in teaching and learning situations. The motivation of pupils
determines the success of learning. When learners feel motivated, they are more
likely to attain their learning goals. One of the most important factors in
English learning is motivation. The goal's motivation is a lower or higher
factor. It is crucial to the learning process's success. It is challenging to
attain the purpose of learning without motivation. Students will be much more
interested in the learning and teaching process if they really are motivated,
and they will be encouraged to study English well. For example, a learner who
lacks motivation in learning English will be lethargic to do so since there's
no external stimulation to motivate him or her to do so. We must consider a
number of elements in improving students ’ academic motivation. First, we
should prepare the engaging material. Second, we should develop plans for
students that are engaging, practical, and attainable. Finally, we must create
an engaging setting , if we can implement all of the methods in the learning
and teaching process, students will be able to effortlessly achieve their
academic goals.
Many approaches have been renewed
throughout history. Linguists proposed many approaches, because the goal of
language instruction shifted, and it was stated that the prior one was
insufficient. It is well known that our country's foreign language proficiency
is quite low. If method is one of the most significant factors in accomplishing
an educational goal, it really should be outlined what instructors perform in
session as well as which language pedagogical skills they employ. In this
study, linguists provided language teaching methods, and it was determined
which language teaching methods teachers employ, as well as the race, maturity,
and sort of graduated institution. This study will demonstrate the
accessibility of our curriculum in this aspect.
8.
Research
Questions
The linguistic methods used by
English language teachers and the extent to which they are used, as well as
whether the extent to which they are used differs by gender, seniority, and
type of graduate program. The following questions will be addressed in this context:
1. What is the extent to which
language teaching approaches are used?
2. Is there a difference in the
usage of language teaching methods based on gender, seniority, or graduate
school type?
3. How beneficial would be the use
of current technologies in the classroom when it comes to teaching English?
4. What are the expected goals or
outcomes that have been obtained on the floor as a result of using modern
technologies in English language instruction?
9. LITERATURE REVIEW
Many studies have been conducted on
the use of Grammar-Translation and other methods in the teaching of English as
a second language. These studies have produced a significant contribution to
the growth of the process of linguistic instruction. Several research have
attempted to demonstrate that interpretation is amongst the most effective
pedagogies for L2 teachers. Shejbalová examined learners' education of a second
language at the pre-intermediate level using two approaches: GTM and CLT.
According to his methods, participants in the experimental group reveal that
CLT plays best in learning languages acquiring. Jin Fang and Qing-Xue studied
which approach of teaching English as a foreign language is more effective. According
to the findings, each approach has its own strengths, and professionals should
apply them in accordance with the learner's contextual background and needs.
Kazi and Iqbal studied the usage of
language learning methodologies in Pakistan's government secondary schools. To
examine the influences of various techniques on diverse academic credentials,
they utilise Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The findings suggest
that most educators use meta-cognitive methods, and that students have a poor
command of the English language. They don't speak English as well as they
should. For collecting data, the closed - ended questionnaire was used. Chang
(2011) made an investigation and discovered that the grammar translation
approach, rather than CLT, by effective way for teaching second languages in
Taiwan. It's a study that's been carried out experimentally. Mondal collected
information from teachers using a structured questionnaires and discovered that
the Grammar Translation Method is more effective for Bangladeshi pupils.
Dagieliene also employed a structured questionnaires to collect information
from university graduates in order to determine whether or not the translation
process is effective. The communicative approach has been regarded as the most
effective technique for learning a new language. The CLT and the GTM have been
compared by Walia. The Rajhisthan College faculty used the survey approach and
filled out the questions. The results demonstrate that using a combination of
CLT and GTM is more beneficial than using only one treatment.
In Bangladesh, Rahman investigated
the instructional methods. She completes an internship in a school and employs
several GTM approaches. She believes that GTM is the greatest way for
Bangladeshi pupils. According to Awan and Yasmin, the first stage utilised by
instructors and moms to help children memorise words and sentences is
memorising, while the second step is developing creativity in many ways.
According to Awan and Yahya, text repeated review is the best strategy for students
to memorise the lesson, while commentary on text or verse is the only means for
students to be creative. Awan et al. did a textual study of editorials and
found that reading newspapers and specific articles boosts creativity.
10.Conclusion
The focus of this thesis is to find
out the impact of advanced technologies on English language teaching (ELT) in
the present day. First and foremost, this article has discussed the
significance of innovation in today's environment. Additionally, the importance
of cutting-edge innovation in the context of teaching and learning was
emphasised throughout this research. Following that, the employment of current
technologies in English language classroom was also highlighted in this
research. Later in this section, the attention was primarily on the effects of
technological advancements on ELT in the contemporary day. Eventually, this
study gives some useful suggestions for English learners and teachers to
improve their teaching and learning activities. It is common knowledge that
innovation plays a significant part in ELT, and there are numerous technical
breakthroughs available in today's world.
