    Enhancing Language Teaching Materials and Pedagogy An event organised by the Language Associations and Collaborative Support (LACS) project team in partnership with the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) 5 September 2013 – National Curriculum Centre, Hamrun, Malta This event aims to provide language teachers, teacher educators, policy-makers and other multipliers with an opportunity to discuss some of the current issues in relation to language teaching and learning. The contributions of language teaching experts working on a number of projects for the European Centre for Modern Languages will enable participants in this Seminar to develop an understanding of some of the most innovative approaches to language pedagogy and materials design. The Seminar will include : - a plenary by Dr Terry Lamb from the University of Sheffield. Dr Lamb is a world-renowned researcher in the field of learner and teacher autonomy in language learning; - a workshop on the teaching materials and training kit developed within the FREPA project, which aims to establish links between languages and language varieties that learners bring from home or are learning in schools; - a workshop on the More DOTS project, which provides integrated pedagogical and technological resources to language teaching practitioners. Participants in this workshop will be shown examples of best practice in linking language pedagogy and online technologies; - a number of talks by other language teaching researchers and practitioners; - the seminar will end with a forum debate focusing on the ECML’s function as a catalyst for reform in the teaching and learning of languages.

Pedagogical Approaches Explained by Sara Laviosa, published by Routledge as part of the T ‘Translation Theories Explained’ series, is an attempt to establish a dialogue between Translation Studies and foreign language learning and teaching. It consists of nine chapters, eight appendices, the bibliography and the index, and it is aimed at foreign language and possibly also translation educators, researchers and teacher trainers. Drawing upon convergences between the two disciplines, the author investigates the presence and practical use of translation in a foreign language classroom. Based on her research and experiences in multilingual learning environments, she proposes her own holistic model whereby translation is re-established as a valid and beneficial tool for foreign language teaching. Chapter one presents a historical overview of the place and role of translation in second language education since the grammar-translation method of the 18th century until the advent of the communicative method in the late 1960s. Brief overviews of each of the methods, their purposes and the educational contexts in which they were developed are presented, with a focus on the application (or lack of it) of translation as a tool aiding foreign language learning. The author draws attention to the ebb and flow of various forms of translation-related activities as well as first and/or second language instruction within these approaches.

  • In Between Language Teaching Methods: Do We Need (To Know About)
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, PHILOLOGICA, 11, 3 (2019) 119–139 DOI: 10 .2478/ausp-2019-0030 In between Language Teaching Methods: Do We Need (to Know About) Methods at All? Imola Katalin NAGY Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca Faculty of Technical and Human Sciences, Târgu-Mureş Department of Applied Linguistics Abstract . In this study, we attempt to approach the problem of foreign language teaching from the viewpoint of language pedagogy development in different historical periods: from the grammar translation method through the audio-lingual approaches and up to communicative and post- communicative methods . We have come today to reconsider the role and status of language teaching not only because globalization has produced an increase in the number of speakers of English all around the world but also due to the fact that the issue of localization (of language teaching methods and techniques) has also come to the fore . This meta-analytical article circumscribes a number of popular methods amongst which teachers can choose, and we also try to summarize the most important foreign language teaching methods that can be spotted in the era of what is presently called the post-method condition . Keywords: language teaching methods, methodology, history of methods, choice between methods, communicative and post-communicative language teaching 1. Introduction The history of the development of language teaching didactics and methodology is a well-documented field of research. In the long history of language teaching didactics, there have been numerous taxonomies regarding trends in language teaching along with different attempts to organize different methods into different categories . For instance, Kumaravadivelu (1994: 29) talks about language-centred methods (e .g .
