In English teaching, which of these methods allows the teacher to choose elements from a number of other methods ?

Option 1 : Eclectic method

Eclectic Approach: It is the best method for language teaching with the combination of different teaching methods to be used according to the lesson and learners. The Eclectic Approach is the label given to a teacher's use of techniques and activities from a range of language teaching approaches and methodologies. The teacher decides what methodology or approach to use depending on the aims of the lesson and the learners in the group. There are various approaches and methods used for language teaching. Some of them are:-

• Communicative approach: It aims to develop the learner’s competence to communicate fluently in the target language.
• Integrative approach: To overcome the limitations and to exploit the advantages of top-down and bottom-up approach, an integrative approach in testing is used.
• Structural approach: Structural approach is a scientific study of the fundamental structures of the English language, their analysis and logical arrangement. Every structure expresses an important grammatical point. A sentence needs a grammatical background. The different arrangements or patterns of words are called structures.

Hence, we conclude that In English teaching, Eclectic method allows the teacher to choose elements from a number of other methods.
