The Difference Between: Approach, Strategy, Method, Technique, and Model

 Approach:

Approach = Assumption. An Approach is a set of correlative assumption about the nature of language and language learning. An approach is treating something in a certain way. Teaching approach is your own personal philosophy of teaching. Approach is a set of assumption (why). An approach is something that reflects a certain model or research paradigm. Approach is a set of theories and principles. Learning approach is the way teacher view the learning process, in which there are learning strategies with all his theories. Learning approaches can be divided into two approaches are student-centered approach and teacher-centered approach.

Strategy:

Strategy usually requires some sort of planning for setting goals. Learning strategies is a teacher of learning activities undertaken with the aim of the learning process that takes place in the classroom can achieve (goals) to effectively and efficiently. In principle, the learning strategy of conceptual plans that will decisions be taken in the learning process. Viewed from the side of the strategy, can be grouped into two general categories: exposition-discovery learning, and group-individual learning. Learning strategy is still conceptual, necessary for the implementation of certain teaching methods.

Method:

Method can be considered as a way of learning that must be taken to realize the plan that has been a teacher in real and practical activities in the classroom to achieve learning activities. Thus, the strategy is “a plan for achieving goals” while the method is “a way for achieving goals”. Method is a settle kind of procedure, usually according to a definite, established, logical, or systematic plan. Method is general way in which activity is conducted. A method is a plan for presenting the language material to be learned and should be based upon a selected approach. Teaching method: refers to how you apply your answer from the question stated in teaching approaches to your day to day instruction in front of your students. Method is defined as a habitual, logical, or prescribed practice or systematic process of achieving certain and results which accuracy and efficiency, usually in a preordained sequence of steps. A method is how to carry out these assumption and theories (how). A method is a set of procedures that describe how to teach a language. A method is the way you apply these theories and principles. A method is an overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradict, and all of which is based upon the selected approach. There are many methods of learning: lecture, demonstration, discussion, simulation, laboratory, field experience, brainstorming, debates, symposium, and so forth.

Technique:

Technique is the various methods and process developed through knowledge, skill, and experience. Technique is a very specific, concrete stratagem or trick designed to accomplish an immediate objective. Technique is a procedure or skill for completing a specific task. Teaching technique: these are little sneaky tricks we all know and use to get the job done in the classroom. Technique means a systematic procedure, formula, or routine by which a task is accomplished. Techniques are steps to achieve certain goals. Technique is a classroom device or activity and it is more specific than method. A technique is the tools and task you use to make your method succeed. A technique is implementation. Techniques must be consistent with a method and therefore in harmony with an approach. Technique is a practical method or art applied to some particular task or skillfulness in the command of fundamentals deriving from practice and familiarity. Learning techniques is the way in which teacher in carrying out the method of learning.

Model

 Learning model is a frame from the application of an approach, strategy, methods, and techniques of learning. In learning model is series of strategies, methods, and techniques of learning in a single unified whole. Thus the learning model is basically a form of learning which is reflected from start to finish is typically presented by the teacher.
