Passive learners. The students do as the
teacher says , so they can learn what he
knows. There is little student initiation and
little student-student interaction,
In the Direct Method


The student role is less passive than in the
Grammar-translation Method
In the Audiolingual Method

Learners are viewed as organisms that can be
directed by skilled training techniques to produce
correct responses. Learners play a reactive role by
responding to stimuli , and thus have little
 control over the content, pace, or style of learning .
They are not encouraged to initiate interaction,
 because this may lead to mistakes.
In the Communicative
Approach

Students are communicators. They learn to
communicate by communicating . Students
are seen as more responsible managers of
their own learning
In the Activities-based Approach

to overcome communication breakdown
  use negotiating strategies
