In the next two weeks, we had three presentations and my friend and I were going to present the first one which was about a method known as The Audio Lingual Method (ALM). As we had plaed, we acted some parts out and explained a little bit about the principles and techniques of the method. The next presentation was about the silent way of teaching and learning and the third one was about Desuggestopedia.On the last session of the second week, we had brief discussion about Macro-strategic framework.

Now if I want to briefly explain what I’ve learnt during these two weeks, I can say that I became familiar with the three methods mentioned above, their similarities and differences, their principles and the techniques that the teacher uses for each method. I also learnt that Macro-strategic framework, provided in post method era, consists of ten strategies that teachers need to apply in their classes.

Well, i believe it's much better if we have one presentation each week and dedicate more time to Idea, as there wasn't enough time for me to hear my classmates' opinions about my own presentation! And then after performing a play for The ADL Method myself and watching my friends' play about Desuggestopedia, I was kind of ensured that acting out is really a good way of presenting the methods!
