This document discusses three teaching methods for language acquisition: part-to-whole, whole-to-part, and balanced. The part-to-whole method teaches the smallest language units first and builds up to more complex concepts. Whole-to-part starts with full texts and breaks them down. The balanced method focuses on both language parts for accuracy and whole texts for meaning. It helps learners build competence and confidence in skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing in a meaningful and accurate way. Key terms discussed are accuracy, meaning, and the work of Susan E. Malone on mother tongue education.

- 5. Lesson Objectives: I can understand and differentiate teaching for meaning and accuracy
- 6. Malone (2001) compared the three teaching methods that are commonly used in the teaching language in the early years. These methods includes: Part-to-Whole Whole to Part Balance Methods
- 7. More attention is given to skill development through drills, and less attention is given to constructing meaning through language. #1. Part-to-whole A teaching method in which instruction begins with the most basic unit of language learning and works up to more complex aspects of language learning.
- 8. This teaching method emphasizes the importance of meaning construction in the learner’s use of his/her language. #2. whole to part A teaching method that emphasizes the importance of the learners understanding of the context in which the language is used.
- 9. According to Malone (2000), a balanced teaching method allows learning to successfully learn language by: -Focusing on the parts of the language ( teaching for accuracy) -Focusing on the whole text (teaching for meaning) #3. balance method When you teach the language macro skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing, you are responsible for helping the learners build the competence (and confidence) in using these macro skills meaningfully and accurately.
- 10. Important Terms Accuracy -refers to how correct learners’ use of the language system is, including their use of grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. It is also compared to fluency when we talk about learner’s level of speaking or writing. Meaning -is the thing one intends to convey especially language. Susan E.
