    Based on the principle that we first find out what and test them to find out what they need, and then negotiate the syllabus with them.
  • Task - based approches

    Students are not taught language points in advance, but rather are given communicative tasks. Teacher give them language bits in order to fulfil the task.
  • Lexical views of language

    Lexical chunks in place of grammar.
  • Output - Feedback

    The teacher listens to the students discussing sometimes, notes the problems down and guiding questions, so students come to a reformulated version of the selected language errors from their discussion.
  • Noticing

    It has 2 main functions: to provide free-speaking scenarios and to show what language points need more focus and practice.
