English language teaching[edit]
Blended Learning[edit]
An early exponent of blended learning in English language teaching, he was possibly the first to use the term in this context.[22][23]
Dynamic or Fractal Approach[edit]
Complexity in language teaching and the effects of iteration have been discussed by Larsen-Freeman[24]. Iteration is the basis of Maurice Claypole's new approach to ELT as an alternative to Communicative language teaching. This was first outlined in a keynote talk at the IATEFL BESIG www.besig.org conference in 2001.[25] The fractal approach was published in 2010[21][26] and has been presented internationally.[27][28][29][30][31]
Translation and L1 in the classroom[edit]
Introduced modern ways to exploit the student's own language (L1) and bring translation back to the ELT classroom as the fifth language skill.[32][33][34][35][36][37]
Role of the non-native speaker teacher[edit]
Advocated the values of non-native speakers as foreign language teachers.[38][39][40]
Content Oriented Language Teaching[edit]
The notion that, particularly when teaching English for Special Purposes (ESP), the teaching content is usually far more important than the approach or methodology.[41][42][20]
