Language pedagogy is the discipline concerned with the theories and techniques of teaching language. It has been described as a type of teaching wherein the teacher draws from their own prior knowledge and actual experience in teaching language. The approach is distinguished from research-based methodologies.
There are several methods in language pedagogy but they can be classified into three: structural, functional, and interactive. Each of these encompasses a number of methods that can be utilised in order to teach and learn languages.
The development of language pedagogy came in three stages. In the late 1800s and most of the 1900s, it was usually conceived in terms of method. In 1963, the University of Michigan Linguistics Professor Edward Mason Anthony Jr. formulated a framework to describe them into three levels: approach, method, and technique. It has been expanded by Richards and Rodgers in 1982 to approach, design, and procedure.
In the late 1800s and most of the 1900s, language teaching was usually conceived in terms of method. In seeking to improve teaching practices, teachers and researchers would typically try to find out which method was the most effective. However, method is an ambiguous concept in language teaching and has been used in many different ways. According to Bell, this variety in use "offers a challenge for anyone wishing to enter into the analysis or deconstruction of methods".
The methods of teaching language may be characterized into three principal views:
The structural view treats language as a system of structurally related elements to code meaning (e.g. grammar).
The functional view sees language as a vehicle to express or accomplish certain functions, (e.g. making a request, giving information or asking for information).
The interactive view sees language as a vehicle for the creation and maintenance of social relations, focusing on patterns of moves, acts, negotiation and interaction found in conversational exchanges. This view has been fairly dominant since the 1980s.

The natural approach is a method of language teaching developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It aims to foster naturalistic language acquisition in a classroom setting, and to this end it emphasises communication, and places decreased importance on conscious grammar study and explicit correction of student errors. Efforts are also made to make the learning environment as stress-free as possible.
L'enseignement des langues étrangères assisté par ordinateur (ELAO) est l'un des moyens d'enseigner les langues étrangères, en s'appuyant sur les technologies de l'information et de la communication, éventuellement « en ligne », c'est-à-dire en utilisant l'internet de manière interactive (via le « Web 2.0 »). Une langue est un ensemble très complexe de mots et nuances, de concepts, de codes et de règles (de prononciations, d'accentuations, et de « ton » notamment), encore mal maitrisé par l'informatique.
L’enseignement des langues étrangères est abordé de façons diverses selon les époques, les pays, les enseignants et les méthodes mobilisées. Il peut être individuel, collectif ou se pratiquer en immersion. Aux États-Unis, l'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère est de mise dans la plupart des établissements, tout particulièrement au lycée. Cependant, l'étude d'une deuxième langue étrangère n'est pas obligatoire. Certaines universités exigent la connaissance d'une langue étrangère pour obtenir un B.A. ou un B.
We introduce a method for automated grading of handwritten essays written by foreign language learners of French. The handwriting recognition system allows digitising the essays for further processing and functions at a low character error rate. The transc ...
