ENGLISH TEACHING METHODOLOGIES FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Teaching methodologies. Before introducing the different English Teaching Methodologies, (ETM), some concepts must be understood: Edward Anthony (as cited in Richard & Rodgers, 1986) described an approach as a set of correlative assumptions, evident or obvious, that deal with the nature of the matter to be taught. He explains that in the use of an approach to teach a language, there can be many plans for the presentation of the language materials in a procedural way; he refers to these plans as methods. Therefore, within one approach there can be many methods. Furthermore, Edward Anthony describes the technique as the implementation of the method in the classrooms, and the actions that would take place in the classroom.
