TEACHING METHODS AND ENGLISH AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGEeaching Methods and English as an International Language

In today's class, I will discuss about:

· · Culture of learning.

· · How the spread of English has brought with it the spread of communicative language teaching (CLT).

· · Who should be given the control of the curriculum and method and why?

Note: The chapter ends with suggestions as to what principles should inform a pedagogy of an international language.

Think about these questions:

· What is culture of learning (learning culture) in yourcountry? Culture of reading?

· What is the difference between Eastern Culture of Learning and Western Culture of Learning?

Lets see the History of Teaching Methodology
