a. Explain why you agree or disagree with the Cognitive Approach.

 

I disagree with the cognitive approach. this approach was derived from not learners but researchers' lab, which makes me feel like this approach is not interested in learners as a human being. Most researchers were not teachers at that time, they must not have known about the real teaching and learning circumstances. If a student makes some grammar errors, what a teacher has to do is just to teach the rule of grammar. If the errors are repetitive, the teacher teaches the rules repetitively! From this point of view, if you can make your students practice language rules repeatedly, you don't need a teacher's teaching skills, and it seems that anyone can teach. This view overlooks the fact that in real-life classrooms the teacher's energetic energy, thorough class strategy, and a motivational word have a great influence on learning.

b. Explain why you agree or disagree with the Affective Humanistic Approach.

I agree with the affective humanistic approach. unfortunately, my students are not young enough to have enough time to learn from using this approach, but if my class consists of younger learners, I will apply this strategy in full measure to my class. I have had many experiences of not being able to speak English properly because of the fear of mistakes. It seems the most natural and ideal way to provide the learner with the most comfortable environment possible and not to be afraid of making mistakes, which leads to immerse himself comfortably in language learning. It will require more time and effort from teachers to prepare for aromas, music, art, and various activities, but from a learner's point of view, it seems that he can learn the language joyfully without stress. Can there be anyone who doesn't want to learn in this way?

 

c. What techniques can you apply in your classroom that align with your preferred approach?

I can apply the positive reinforcement technique in my class. In fact, I often meet students who hate making mistakes, and I don't get surprised, irritated, or upset when they are wrong. When students' mistakes were treated as if they were not a big deal, the students became more tolerant of their mistakes and were more comfortable with speaking a language that they were learning. Also, I can apply the multiple concerts technique, too. I think this technique is good for improving listening skills, English writing, and grammar skills altogether naturally.
