I am about to go on a research which is requirement in my studies. I'm thinking hard of a good and new topic about language teaching or learning. You might have any suggestion. It will be a great help. Thanks!
What could be a good topic for research on language education or language learning?
Some teachers and I were arguing this very thing yesterday. Some of us feel that language is better taught using the holistic approach. Meaning it should be taught through conversation, reading, and with the technical part of language, grammar, taught in conjuction as a byproduct of language. Grammar is important and should be taught but a natural approach to language is the way we learned from childhood, imitation: speak first then learn the rules.
Other teachers feel that the technical part of language is important to teach right away in order to give students a road map.
So, to answer your question. Maybe your research could be... Should we teach language using the holistic approach or should we teach language in isolation: grammar, vocabulary and drills?
Good luck.
