Methods in Language Teaching
Teaching a foreign language to learners may be a difficult but rewarding vocation that gives them access to totally new communication channels. It is advantageous for teachers to be familiar with the various language learning methodologies, including ESL teaching techniques, as this will allow them to be flexible with their teaching strategies and adjust them as necessary. Here we are discussing the different teaching methods of the the course of time.

The Natural Approach
The Direct Method
With this approach, all instruction is conducted in the target language. The student is not permitted to speak in his or her native tongue. Grammar norms are avoided, and accentuation on proper pronunciation is placed.
Grammar-Translation
This approach emphasizes learning mostly through translation into and out of the target language. Long lists of vocabulary are to be memorized, as are grammar standards. The development of speaking skills is given little or no focus. The secondary sector is where this approach is most frequently applied.
Audio-Lingual
This approach is based on the idea that developing habits is a necessary part of learning a language. Dialogues are frequently used in every circumstance. Before a new language is visible in written form, it is first heard and practiced extensively.
The Structural Approach-
This approach emphasizes learning mostly through translation into and out of the target language. Long lists of vocabulary are to be memorized, as are grammar standards. The development of speaking skills is given little or no focus. The secondary sector is where this approach is most frequently applied.
Total Physical Response
TPR works by having the learner respond to simple commands such as “Stand up”, “Close your book”, “Go to the window and open it.” The method stresses the importance of aural comprehension and the importance of kinesthetic learning.
Communicative Language Teaching
This method's main goal is to give the learner the skills necessary to speak appropriately and successfully in the range of settings she is likely to encounter. The concepts covered in CLT courses include the expression of time, amount, and place, as well as actions like inviting, recommending, and complaining. This approach, which is similar to The Structural Approach, is frequently employed in language learning apps.
Task-based language learning
The focus of the teaching is on the completion of a task which in itself is interesting to the learners. There is little error correction as learners perform the assignment using the language they already know. By making the language essential to task performance, the intention is to emphasize the value of language learning.
The Natural Approach
This strategy, introduced by Professor S. Krashen, emphasizes the parallels between learning a first language and a second language. There is no error repair. Students learn by being exposed to language that is understandable to them or that is made understandable to them.
