Eclecticism and Language learning

Language learning is qualitatively different from other types of learning , because special qualifications and training are required for the English language teacher. Each of the well – known methods (e.g. grammar – translation , reading , audio – lingual and communicative) has its own features concerning language learning . Some of these approaches and methods are better or more effective than others . yet they all have some weaknesses and some strengths . Methods may supplement one another especially when there is no one method which can fulfil all language goals and programme objectives
