Total Physical Response (TPR) It is a teaching technique that mixes speech and action to teach
language through physical activity.
This method has 3 phases:
1. Pre-teaching key words.
2. Listen, watch and do.
3. Listen and do (jumpled order).
For example, a classroom activity would be: "Simon Says“.

Acquisition Vs LearningThere are two independent ways of developingability in second languages.
Acquisition: it is a subconscious process, identicalin most important ways to the process childrenutilize in acquiring their first language. It does notrequire extensive use of conscious grammaticalrules.
Learning: it is a conscious process that consists oflearning grammar rules of a foreign language.
Silent Period It is the interval of time when students feel unable
to communicate orally in a foreign language. It is
better to wait for students to speak naturally when
they feel comfortable before forcing them to talk.
It is the language that a person has learned
from birth or within the critical learning
period, or that a person speaks the best and
so is often the basis for sociolinguistic
identity.
Mother Tongue
English as a Foreign Language (E.F.L)
It is a term applied for the use or study of
the English language by non-native speakers
in countries where English is generally not
used as a way of communication.
English as a Second Language (E.S.L)
It is a traditional term for the use or study of the English
language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking
environment. That environment may be a country where
English is the mother tongue or has an established role.
English as a Second Language also refers to specialized
approaches to language teaching, designed for those whose
primary language is not English.
DrillsIt is a way of pattern practice which
involves the repetition by learners of teacher
models of restricted amounts of oral
language input.
ApproachIt is a method used by teachers to teach a
language.
For example, multi-sensorial approach:
Children need to use more than one sense.
PhonicsIt is a method of teaching, reading
and writing the English language that
allows beginning readers to decode
new written words.
Digital LiteracyIt is the ability to understand and use information
in multiple formats from a wide range of sourceswhen it is presented via computers.
The concept of literacy goes beyond just beingable to read; it has always meant the ability to readwith meaning = it implies the ability ofunderstanding the meaning.
Multiple IntelligencesIt is a theory that identifies various types of
intelligence and not only one.
It was developed by Gardner. According to
this theory, students can have many
different learning styles depending on their
kind of intelligence.
Target languageIt is the language that learners are
studying, and also the individual items
of the language that they want to
learn, or the teacher wants them to
learn.
