Instructionist teaching methods
Frontal teaching
In frontal teaching , the learners are offered the new material from a single source - usually the teacher - for inclusion. This does not mean that the learner absorbs his knowledge passively, because reception is also an active, constructive act, only that, in contrast to open teaching methods, the selection of the content to be recorded is made solely by the teacher and the recording process is closely guided by the teacher (metaphorically critical: "funnel principle").
Technologically supported processes
In the 1970s, audio-oral and audio-visual teaching methods emerged in foreign language teaching that aimed at building reflexes ( behaviorism ) through the imitation and repetition of language structures. Here the instruction was not given by the teacher, but by tapes and pictures. The exercises are called pattern drills .
