1. Communicative Approach
• Focuses on real-life communication skills.
• Encourages speaking, listening, and writing in practical contexts.

2. Grammar-Translation Method
• Emphasizes understanding grammar rules and vocabulary.
• Translates between the target language and the student’s native language.
• Suitable for building a strong foundation in structure and syntax.

3. Direct Method
• Immerses students in the target language without translation.

4. Task-Based Learning
• Encourages learning through completing specific tasks or projects.
• Integrates language skills while solving real-world problems.

5. Total Physical Response (TPR)
• Combines language learning with physical movement.
• Effective for beginners, especially younger students, by associating words with actions.

6. Audio-Lingual Method
• Focuses on repetition and drills to reinforce language patterns.
• Ideal for practicing pronunciation and sentence structures.

These methods can be combined to create an engaging and effective learning experience.
