Observe the text below and answer the following  question.


Approach, method and technique

   Approach is the level at which assumptions and beliefs about language and language learning are specified. It describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught.

   Method is the level at which theory is put into practice and at which choices are made about the particular skills to be taught, the content to be taught, and the order in which the content will be presented.

   A technique is implementational - that which actually takes place in a classroom. It is a particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplish an immediate objective. Techniques must be consistent with a method, and therefore in harmony with an approach as well.

(Richards, Jack C., Rodgers, Theodore S. Approaches and methods in language teaching, p.15)

Read the following fragment.
Researchers in text comprehension have applied an information-processing analogy to understanding how people think, learn, and remember what they read.
I - When a person reads, two aspects of this “human information processing system” continuously interact.
II - When the reader focuses primarily on what he or she already knows, this is called a conceptdriven or “top-down” mode.
III - On the other hand, when the reader relies primarily on textual features and information to comprehend, this is called a data-driven or “bottom-up” mode.
IV - In other words, the reader is constantly noticing parts of the text and comparing that sample with what he or she did not know.

Theory of language learning

[…] specific theories of the nature of language may provide the basis for a particular teaching method, other methods derive primarily from a theory of language learning. A learning theory underlying an approach or method responds to two questions: (a) What are the psycholinguistic and the cognitive processes involved in language learning? and (b) What are the conditions that need to be met in order for these learning processes to be activated? Learning theories associated with a method at the level of approach may emphasize either one or both of these dimensions. Process-oriented theories build on learning processes, such as habit formation, induction, inferencing, hypothesis testing, and generalization. Condition-oriented theories emphasize the nature of the human and physical context in which language learning takes place.

Examine the following fragment from PCNs.


As part of a major field of knowledge – Languages, Codes and Related Technologies – Foreign Languages can now perform their inherent role, which, for a long time, was kept short of evident: that of being essential means of communication among people. _______, like any other language, foreign languages work as means of access to knowledge and, thus, to different forms of thinking, creating, feeling, acting and understanding reality, which affords students a more comprehensive and more solid training.
