However, in the teaching field they tend to have a different meaning. According to Richards & Rogers, 2001, p.19 a method is a “set of derived procedures for teaching a language”. The method is the practical implementation of Method an approach, being the procedures chosen by the teacher to enhance the learning-teaching process, it also refers to the process of following step by step guidelines. It is decided after choosing an approach and a general plan for the orderly presentation of linguistic material (Anthony, 1963). Regarding the teaching method, according to (Reguig, 2018) “Refers to how you apply your answers from the questions stated in Teaching Approaches to your day-to-day instruction in front of your students.” According to RHALMI, 2018 an approach “represents the sum of our philosophy about both the theory of language and the theory of learning.” Approach According to Richards & Rogers, 2001, p.18 an approach is “a set of general principles and theories about how languages are learned, language knowledge is represented, organized in memory and how the language itself is structured”. Taking that into account, an approach to language teaching is a set of assumptions which deal with the nature of the language, its teaching and learning, being a systematic means of arriving at the language. Specifies the direction of the angle, the theoretical framework and it must be decided before selecting a method. The practices and behaviors needed to operate in teaching a language and that all procedures rely on are called techniques. According to (Egbetade, 2017), techniques are precise strategies, concrete tricks or tested and trusted tips designed to help the teacher reach his/her Technique goals. “It could be in form of an exercise or just any activity that you have to do to complete your mission.” Unlike the methods, the techniques are implementational which means they are “the actual moment-to-moment classroom steps that lead to a specified outcome.” RHALMI, 2018. According to Richards & Rogers, 2001, p.31, a procedure involves “the actual moment toProcedure moment techniques, practices, and behaviors that operate in teaching a language according to a particular method”. Which means it is an ordered sequence of techniques, being step by step to implement a method. According to Harmer 2001, p.62 a procedure is “smaller than a method, it is bigger than a technique”. Is the definition of linguistic content, specification of selection and organization of the material as well as the description of teacher and students’ roles. It deliberates on issues such as “the objectives Design of a method, how language content is selected and organized within the method, the types of learning tasks and teaching activities advocated by the method, the roles of learners, teachers and the role of teaching materials” Richards & Rogers, 2001, p.24 E-portfolio Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15G-GR4qHlj6Qwd4i7yUS1R1Tgr_ln8OW ESAPEC Evidence References Anthony, E.
