Abstract
This article explores various English teaching methods, highlighting their
principles, advantages, and limitations. It provides an overview of traditional and
modern approaches, including the Grammar-Translation Method, Direct Method,
Audio-Lingual Method, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based
Language Teaching (TBLT), and the Natural Approach. Each method is analyzed in
terms of its focus-whether on grammar, communication, repetition, or learner
engagement-and suitability for different learning contexts. The article emphasizes the
importance of adapting methods to learners' needs and integrating multiple approaches
to enhance language acquisition effectively.
