This framework organizes the process of language instruction into a three-tiered hierarchy consisting of approach, design, and procedure. At the foundational level, an approach defines the theoretical beliefs regarding the nature of language and the cognitive processes required for learning. The design phase translates these theories into a practical blueprint by outlining specific objectives, syllabus structures, and the distinct roles assigned to both teachers and students. Finally, the procedure describes the actual classroom behaviors and specific tactical applications observed during a lesson. By connecting abstract philosophies to concrete instructional habits, this model provides a comprehensive system for analyzing and implementing language teaching methods.
