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 his prior knowledge and actual experience in teaching language. The approach is distinguished from research-based methodologies.
Pedagogy enables teachers to understand the best suitable practices for a classroom setting. It helps them to know how different students learn and grasp information so that they can tailor their lessons to satisfy those needs. It is likely to improve the quality of teaching and the way it is received by the students.
There are 5 different Pedagogical approaches, being the constructivist approach, the collaborative approach, the reflective approach, the integrative approach, and, finally, the inquiry-based approach.
The main motive of pedagogy is to create and develop the learning methods, skills, and attitudes of learners. It directs students to get a convenient understanding of the subjects and helps them in applying those learnings in their daily lives outside of the classroom.
The pedagogical skills, thus, include the capacity to plan, initiate, lead and develop education and teaching with the departure point in both general and subject-specific knowledge of student learning. Pedagogical skills also include the capacity to connect the teaching to research in the subject of interest.
