Solution:

The existing English language teaching methodologies have inherent problems in that they ignore the innate ability of children to acquire language and instead focus on rigid practice-based programs.Constructivism/Constructivist approach, on the other hand, is a movement away from learning to acquisition with new perspectives of looking at language, language acquisition, the learners, teacher, teaching materials, and so on. In the Constructivist Approach, language is taught by enabling learners to create new knowledge based on past experiences and by engaging in various activities.Constructivism as a learning theory believes that learning is socially constructed as it views learners as makers of meaning and creators of knowledge through social interaction. Constructivism in language learning focuses on engaging learners in exploring new knowledge. It prepares learners to design experiments, draw conclusions, and compare their findings in the grouping.Hence, it could be concluded that the Constructivism Theory of language learning believes that "language learning is social learning".HintAudiolingualism/Audio Lingual Method was one of the methods which were based on the Behaviorist €“ Structuralist Paradigm. This method focused on oral/aural work and pronunciation taught through drills as well as dialogue practice in small groups of motivated learners and native language teachersCommunicative Approach is a method of language teaching which makes learners confident to communicate effectively by involving them in real communication. It highlights the importance of real communication for learning to take place rather than emphasizing writing skills and grammatical aspects of communication.Direct method is also known as the 'Natural Approach'. It is a method that facilitates the active participation of students and emphasizes learning the target language directly without translating it into the mother tongue.
