Designer Methods of the spirited 1970´s

It is going to be during the 1970’s where appeared some innovative methods for second language learning. Despite that these methods weren’t perfect it was a beginning.
The first of the methods is Community Language Learning, where it took on a distinctly affective nature. In this case it was important for the learners to interact in an interpersonal relationship where students and teachers worked together to facilitate learning. Also the teacher was sort of a counselor where centers all the attention in the learner needs. The main disadvantages where that the teachers can become too nondirective and the students need instructions especially the ones that are begging to learn. Also it can be too inductive for example were the learners determining the type of conversation and analyze it inductively. The Suggestopedia was based in that the brain could process a big amount of material if given the right condition for learning. In this method the aim was to relax the states of mind therefore there could be a more retention and for this the music was essential as well as having a comfortable environment. Having these two elements is difficult and this method was more attempted to teach memorization techniques instead of making the learners comprehend. The third is Silent Way, it was also more cognitive. In this case students constructed conceptual hierarchies; also they develop independence, autonomy and responsibility. The main issue was that teachers where too distant and sometimes students needed more guidance and overt correction. The Total Physical Response, this method focus on that memory is increased if it is stimulated through association with motor activity. They used imperative mood, for example commands, “Open the door”. This helped avoid anxiety. The problem is that despite it was very useful on beginning levels it wasn’t that much on advance. The last method was Natural Approach, where the most important thing was that teachers had to provide comprehensible input, in other words understandable language. Also at the beginning was focus more in the meaning than in the form and in listening skills. The objections were that these strategies worked with kind of “timetables”, but what happened when a learner had different times, when their language emerged after?
Now I think that all this methods where revolutionary and that you can take out very good things from each one of them to improve your class.
