A STRESS-FREE APPROACH TO TEFL

Abstract

The teaching of English in Indonesia has been marked with the frequent changes in the curriculum. However, those changes do not imply whatsoever any changes in the way teachers deliver lessons in a moment-to-moment classroom teaching. We seem to be too much preoccupied with new concepts and perhaps approach to teaching English but fail to formulate how a certain concept can be translated into classroom methods and techniques. This paper seeks to shed a light on how a synthesis of various approaches in language learning can be achieved to provide favorable learning atmosphere for students and more importantly how different theories on language learning can be transformed into an operational method and techniques in the classroom.
