The activities based on 4 approaches

To start with my, the behaviorist approach, in preparatory school my teacher Engin Kaça made us repeat after him for the pronunciation studies. It was based on imitation, and we did as robots. Also, in high school some of our teachers acted as if we were not in class, they just lectured, gave tests, did examinations and graded as they wished. Engin Hoca's style was good actually, sometimes imitation is needed and enjoyable, however, lecturing as students are not there is not a satisfactory way of teaching. After, cognitivist approach, in both high school and preparatory school, our teachers established a scenery or problems that we had to live. We thought a lot and acted the way as we wish.. This improved our cognitive development. This point is beneficial for me, for us. For constructivist approach, we mainly dealt with social interactions, tasks that served us problems and etc. When it comes to social psychology perspective, actually I do not remember whether our teachers acted according to the classrooms' needs, but in high school, our teachers were acting as they wished. They applied their approaches which were easy for them to use. So this creates the problem in 2nd language teaching. They seemed preparing us for exams more than gaining that language. I say that, we are living in 21st centuary, and only Steve hoca use technology such effectively. So I reccomend my former teachers to meet with Steve hoca, so that they can learn how to use technology in education.
