  • Dogme language teaching — A materials-light communicative language-teaching movement centered on emergent learner conversation rather than prefabricated textbooks.
  • Natural approach — A language-teaching method that prioritizes comprehensible input, communication, low anxiety, and delayed spontaneous production over explicit grammar correction.
  • Paderborn method — A proposed language-teaching sequence that uses initial Esperanto study as a bridge to later foreign-language learning.
  • Silent Way — A language-teaching approach in which the teacher minimizes verbal modeling so learners attend, hypothesize, self-correct and collaboratively construct the target language.
