Explanation:
Approach = set of assumptions dealing with the nature of language, learning and teaching
Method = an overall plan for systematic presentation of language based upon a selected approach
Techniques = the specific activities manifested in the classroom that are consistent with a method and therefore in harmony with an approach as well
2.Theodor Rogers, Jack Richards
-          Proposed a reformation of the concept of method
Method = their method is more referred to methodology“
            = a generalized set of classroom specifications for accomplishing linguistic objectives.
The subordinate themes are: approach, design, procedures
