Questions:
1. Why are questionnaire, testing, talking, chronometrage and interview called supplementary methods of investigation?
2. What is the difference between teaching method and research method?
There are 3 functionally different types of methodology:

1. 
   General methodology.
   
2. 
   Private methodology.
   
3. 
   Special methodology.
   

General methodology deals with studying consequences and peculiarities of the teaching foreign languages process despite which foreign language is studied.
Private methodology studies features of teaching concrete foreign language (English, French etc.)
Special methodology tries separate aspects of teaching theory which are of special importance for realizing foreign language teaching and upbringing process (ex. System of exercises for teaching English).
Question: What do you think TFLM is general, private or special? and why?
Historical methodology (history of teaching methods), experimental methodology (theory of experiment while researching teaching process), comparative methodology (fixing peculiarities of teaching foreign languages in different regions) are recognized also.
Teaching foreign languages Methodology is separate pedagogical science and it links with many other sciences.
Question: How do you think what sciences are closely connected with methodology?
Teaching foreign languages Methodology (TFLM) studies issues aimed at teaching and upbringing learners through means of the subject that’s why its links are varied and they may be divided into 3 groups:
First of all TFLM is based on data and laws of Linguistics because language is a subject of Linguistics.
Secondly, TFLM closely connected with Psychology, and this connection is realized in 2 directions:
1. Links with psychology of speech (ex. oral and written speech).
2. Links with pedagogical psychology deals with ways of developing knowledge and skills alongside realizing higher psychological functions in teaching process.
3. Thirdly TFLM is based on general provisions of Didactics and theory of upbringing because based on the common положениях didactics and theory of education, Didactics and theory of upbringing form principles and rules of teaching but Methodology concretizes these provisions concerning specific subject such as foreign language.
Thus Linguistics, Pedagogy and Psychology are closer sciences to the TFLM than others dealing with speech and processes of transition of information. That’s why these sciences are considered basic sciences for TFLM.
