Humanistic approaches in language teaching

So, all kinds of ideas seem relevant at the same time. And instinctively or intentionally, teachers choose different methods. There are events where teachers insist on using exclusively L2; but at the same teachers can quickly translate something or contrast L1 and L2 language use. Teachers choose an eclectic variety of techniques and classes from different methodologies and approaches. But the key factor is that the choice is made for fundamental reasons. In short however implicitly, the teacher understands how these choices benefit students and the learning process. In our age of globalization and growing cultural awareness, there is a growing understanding that different cultures, and in particular different educational cultures, need different methodologies. This new sensitivity to other cultures, in particular other educational cultures, is an appropriate place to end this story.
