1. 
We may have a number of teaching methods in between traditional and 
modern. Everybody has their own understanding and conclusions on teaching 
English language. But this paper portrays combining this two types how we can 
make our teaching very effective. We have been completely bounded with 
traditional methods of teaching and understanding where the present day 
learners felt uncomfortable a bit. Learner’s mind will never be static it is ever 
growing and ever changing. Whatever the teaching methodology can be, but 
teaching must be leaner’s centered. 
2. 
Role-play, Discussion, Miscellaneous worksheets, Storytelling and so on. 
3. 
Traditional methods of reading newspapers and books, novels are also 
very good methods to teach the speaking. When the traditional methods are 
modified along with some innovative ideas the entire learning and the teaching 
process is enriched and guarantees a success in efficient learning. These are 
some of the innovative and creative ways of teaching the English Language.

OBSERVATION FOR DEVELOPMENTAL PURPOSES 
Objective: 
to give participants an opportunity to practise giving and receiving non-
judgemental feedback. 
Activity 1 Practising giving feedback 
Objective: to provide participants with the experience of giving feedback as a 
basis for further reflection and conclusions. 
Time: 
25 min 
Materials: handouts, flipchart 
►Procedure: 
☺☺(5 min) Put participants into pairs. In each pair ask a participant 
playing the role of Observer to give feedback to a participant playing the 
role of Teacher for about five minutes. 
☺☺☺(10 min) Put Observers and Teachers back in their respective 
groups and ask them to discuss the feedback session in their groups. 
Distribute handouts 1aand 1b. 
☺(8 min) In the whole group discuss how Observers felt giving feedback 
and how Teachers felt about being on the receiving end. Invite several 
responses from both sides. Discuss the following questions with the group: 
What was the objective of the feedback? 
How much personal judgement was present in the feedback you 
gave/received? 
What do you think about being ‘nice’ and avoiding any criticism vs. being 
openly critical and risking hurting people’s feelings? 
Would it be appropriate for Observers and Teachers to agree on the focus 
of observation and feedback in advance?
