• TITLE: Is It Really Worth Advocating?—Criticism and Teaching Reflection on Roberto Guzman’s Teaching English without Teaching English

  AUTHORS: Liyuan Qiu

  KEYWORDS: Socio-Cultural Theory, Input Hypothesis, Communicative Competence, Language Teaching Methods, Critical Analysis

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol.14 No.11, November 13, 2024

  ABSTRACT: This paper critically analyzes Roberto Guzman’s approach to teaching English, as outlined in his TED talk “Teaching English without Teaching English”. While Guzman focuses on inspirational teaching and open-ended discussion, the analysis highlights some shortcomings of his methods from three perspectives: 1) whether the approach aligns with socio-cultural theories, 2) whether it overlooks the importance of input assumptions, and 3) whether it can effectively improve students’ communicative competence. Through this analysis, the paper sheds light on the potential limitations of Guzman’s approach to teaching English and provides insights into how educators can design more effective language teaching methods.
