A Quick Chronological Review Of The Elt Methods Along With Their Techniques And Principles: Choosing Eclecticism From Among Language Teaching Methods

Summary/Abstract: Teaching a new language either as a second or a foreign language has always been a deep concern for language teachers for centuries. It is for this reason that the human beings have always been in quest of teaching a foreign language more fluently in a shorter time. This quest dates back up to the time when Latin was spoken.Language teachers have constantly been in an endless discussion about which language teaching method they should use in their classes. Another issue of discussion is if a certain language method is superior to the others.In order to provide an appropriate answer to the questions above, I have studied the most prominent ELT methods in chronological order along with their key principles and techniques for a better evaluation and assessment of the methods. In the end of my study, I have chosen eclecticism from among all the methods and suggested that language teachers use the eclectic method, which is a blend of all the methods, and consider their students, the conditions of instructions, and the students’ socio-cultural context.
