1.Can you think of times when you learned language by different historical approaches...
-Grammar Translation Method?
-Audiolingual?
-Communication Language Teaching?
     --I have learned just two methods in my school days. Grammar Translation Teaching also learned. When I was university student, i have some classes with foreigners.

2.Which have you experienced the most?
     --Grammar Translation Teaching is the most experience I have. Actually, we have lots of exam. So we study for exam. I also study for exam. That is why I have the most experience by Grammar Translation Teaching.

3.Give examples of activities that fit into the different methods.
      --Grammar Translation Teaching is the most teaching way in schol. And in my institute, we use machine that foreigner speaks first and then students record what they speak. This way is good method that fit into audiolingual. To improve students' speaking skills, discussion is the most effective activity.

4.In what ways were they effective or not?
      --I think Communication Translation Teaching is the most effective to improve language skills. We already learn language by Grammar Translation Teaching and Audiolingual. These two methods are not effective. If we meet foreigners in real life, we cannot speak English.

5.How do you (will you) balance theae approaches as a teacher?
      --We already learn language by Grammar Translation Method and Audiolingual in school. So I will focuse on Communication Translation Teaching. I will have lots of discussion classes. Korean students do not have enough time to discuss and converse in English. I think discussion is the most effective way to improve their speaking skills.
