Content-based, Task-based and Participatory approaches

CLT – giving students
opportunities to practice using the communicative function of making predictions;

These 3 approaches:
* Giving priority to
process over predetermined linguistic content

* Students ‘use English to learn it’, rather than ‘learning to use English; teaching through communication, rather than for it.

* Difference their focus.

CONTENT-BASED APPROACH

It integrates the learning of language with the learning of some other content, often academic subject matter – academic subjects provide natural content for language instruction.
On the other hand, it offers the significant advantage that second language students do not have to postpone their academic study until their language reaches a high level .

TASK-BASED

Teacher provides learners with a natural context for language use.
- Activity has purpose and needs outcome.
- Teacher goes through a pre-task with students before they work individually.
- Teacher goes through the task step-by-step.
