Theories of Teaching in Language Teaching
- Science-Research Conceptions
- Operationalizing Learning Principles:
Involves research on memory transfer
motivation and others factors.
Audiolingualism, Task-Based Language
Teaching and Learner Training are good
examples in this matter. A succesfully
learning process could be done if three
elements are identified: Stimulus,
Response and Reinforcement
- Following a tested model of
teaching: Apply the results of
empirical or experimental
research to teaching. ¨A view
of good teaching is developed
through logical reasoning and
previous research; good
teaching is defined in terms of
specific acts¨.
- Doing what effectives teachers do: In order to
develop appropriate theories of teaching we must
consider theories from effectives teachers. Here are
some of the characteristics of a succesful teacher:
Instruction is guided by a preplanned curriculum,
Instruction is clear and focused, Standards for
classroom behavior are high, Personal interactions
between teachers and students are positive and so
others.

motivation and others factors.

elements are identified: Stimulus,

- Theory-Philosophy Conceptions
- Theory-Based Approaches: It is based in the logical
argumentation, in the systematic and principled thinking rather
than empirical investigation.Some examples in this regard are:
Communicative Language Teaching and the Silent Way. The first of
this examples arose as a reaction to grammar-based approaches
to teaching realized in teaching materials, syllabuses, and teaching
methods in the 1960s. In the other hand the Silent Way is derived
from a linguistic theory as from a learning theory.
- Values-Based Approaches: Is develop a teaching model from the values one holds about teachers, learners, classrooms, and the
role of education in society. This leads to certain approaches to teching being viewed as politically justifiable and others seen as not
morally, ethically, or politically supportable, for example, ¨team teaching¨, ¨humanistic approaches¨, ¨learner-centered
curriculum¨ and ¨reflective teaching¨. A very common example is when the teacher improves the quality of their own teaching by
reflecting critically on their teaching experiences

- Art-Craft Conceptions
- This point of view analizes the teaching process as something
that depends on the teacher´s individual skiill and personality.
According to this ¨a good teacher is a persona who assess the
needs and possibilities of a situation and creates and uses
practices that have promise for that situation¨. It is a unique
set of personal skills that teachers apply in different ways
according to the demands of specific situation. There are no
general methods of teaching.
- Teachers should develop an approach
that allows them to be themselves and
do what they feel is best. In this regard
a good teacher have to analize the
situation, realize that a range of options
is available based on the particular class
circumstances.
