The word “methodology” is itself often misinterpreted or ill-understood. It is usually given lip- service as an explanation for the way a given teacher goes about his/her teaching, a sort of umbrella term to describe the job of teaching another language. Most often, the methodology is understood to mean methods in a general sense, and in some cases, it is even equated to specific teaching techniques. It does (or should) in fact mean and involve much more than that.
Methodology
The study of pedagogical practices in general (including theoretical underpinnings and related research). whatever considerations are involved in “how to teach” are methodological.
Approach
Theoretical positions and beliefs about the nature of language, the nature of language learning, and the applicability of both to pedagogical settings.
Method
A generalized set of classroom specifications for accomplishing linguistic objectives. Methods tend to be primarily concerned with the teacher and student roles and behaviors and secondarily with such features as linguistic and subject-matter objectives, sequencing, and materials. They are almost always thought of as being broadly applicable to a variety of audiences in a variety of contexts.
