All my classes are based on CLT and Language Immersion:
"Communicative Language Teaching makes use of real-life
situations that require communication. Me, as the facilitator, set up different
situations that students are likely to encounter in real life in the target culture."
"Unlike the audiolingual method of language teaching, which relies
on repetition and drills, the communicative approach can leave
students in suspense as to the outcome of a class exercise, which
will vary according to their reactions and responses. The
real-life simulations change from day to day. Students'
motivation to learn comes from their desire to communicate in
meaningful ways about meaningful topics." (Larsen-Freeman, D.)
"Language immersion is an approach to foreign language instruction in
which the usual teaching activities are conducted in the foreign
language. This means that the new language is the medium of instruction
as well as the object of instruction. Immersion students acquire the
necessary language skills to understand and communicate about the
subject matter set out in the language program of instruction." (Learning Through Two Languages: Studies in Immersion and Bilingual Education, 1987, Newbury House)
There are different kinds of modalities where you can choose from:
