At followenglish we adopt some of the main principles of Communicative Language Teaching, which is an approach that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. We adopt some principles of Dogme Language Teaching as well, for instance, we believe that the focus on emergent language is always relevant and materials serve only as a background for interaction to take place.

Of course we also have our own views on language learning. We  are convinced that there are several variables that have an influence on the learning process and these have to be accounted for in the teaching methodology. We also believe that learning a language means a lot more than simply acquiring a set of rules and memorizing some words and phrases. 

Here are some of the main principles we follow: 

  • Language learning takes place through interaction, so learners have to take an active role in their learning process;
  • Learners need to have a voice as their professional experience and educational background are important elements to be explored throughout the learning process; 
  • Teachers work as facilitators and are supposed to optimize language learning by identifying opportunities in emergent language; 
  • Technology may be used in order to create opportunities of interaction in and outside the classroom;
  • Materials should always be chosen in accordance with learners' goals and should never be viewed as the only resource.
