Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Education is a powerful tool which helps to modify the behavior of the child according to the needs and expectancy of the society. Student's attitude is an integral part of learning and that it should, therefore, become an essential component of second language learning pedagogy. Attitudes toward learning are believed to influence behaviors such as selecting and reading books, speaking in a foreign language etc. In every nation, teachers used a lot of methods in teaching incoherent to the types of lessons to be taught. Furthermore, this study is conducted to define the two approaches, determine the difference and effectiveness of these teaching methods to the teacher and student's attitudes in English.

METHODS

The 40-: item questionnaire was refined. The questionnaire was all about the teacher's demographic profile and the two major teaching methods used in teaching English while the questionnaire for students reflected varied situations that measured and identified the pupils' attitude towards to the two major teaching methods used in English. The teacher and pupils' checklist questionnaire were based on attitude.

RESULTS

Deliberate experimentation is the lifeblood of good teaching. Such experiments may be spontaneous and intuitive inventions or carefully designed and executed teaching plans; either way, they can be an important source of knowledge about teaching. The best teacher experiments with many styles until they are comfortable with the wide range from which they can choose to facilitate learning. They must also learn to be sensitive and the learning environment and use that feedback to modify their teaching behavior. Effective teaching implies that the teacher meaningfully relates what is known to the students so that they become aware of the power of knowledge.

DISCUSSIONS

The students' views were positive about the integration of the virtual learning environment for teaching accounting. Indeed, teacher-: student interaction was strengthened as well as the process of learning. There is a great possibility that Filipino student teachers believe in the capacity of the English language in making their students learn. However, it is suggested that in language and curriculum planning, teachers from various disciplines, most especially, in this case, language teachers and content-: subject teachers should be consulted. Using the content-: based approach in the curriculum, planners, and implementers should be guided by the principles of collaboration and teamwork.
