TEACHING FORMS, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES USED BY EFL TEACHERS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON INTROVERTED STUDENTS

Abstract

The forms and methods of teaching used by teachers of EFL have a direct effect over the students’ learning process and their final achievements. The way that students will accept a certain teaching style depends on their own behaviour and personality as well as the teacher’s ability to successfully manage and conduct the forms and methods of teaching. In this paper I define different types of forms, methods and techniques used in Secondary schools in North Macedonia, and I emphasize some that have become very widely accepted and used. Furthermore, I list some disadvantages that these popular forms, methods and techniques of teaching have over introverted students. Finally, I elaborate on the most adequate forms and methods of teaching English as a foreign language that will enable the teacher to successfully include and engage introverted students, and to be satisfy the needs of the other students as well.
