EXPLICIT TEACHING, INTENTIONAL LEARNING AND MODERN TECHNIQUE IN COMPARISON WITH TRADITIONAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper the author shows one of the ways of explicit teaching and intentional learning, by applying the ”Empty Outlines” technique. The aim of this research is to determine how and to what extent the technique “Empty Outlines“ may affect the teaching of English and the quality of knowledge of foreign languages. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are presented when it is used in foreign language teaching. The explicit form of teaching a foreign language is dominant in the research. The study involved two groups of students: the control group and the experimental group. The author presents and explains the way in which the research was conducted and presents the results which confirm that the technique has an impact on the effectiveness of teaching foreign languages. In the introduction, the author explains not only the importance of the communicative approach in foreign language teaching but also basic terms used. The author clearly shows the difference between the tests of short-term and long-term retention. Types of memory are also explained. The author makes a clear distinction between intentional and implicit learning. The paper connects explicit teaching and the technique of “Empty Outlines” as one of its examples, and explains the positive characteristics of the technique by the results obtained in the research.
