ABSTRACT

In the previous chapters the processes of learning and teaching were discussed and it will have become apparent from the numerous methods mentioned that there are a diversity of approaches to teaching and many theoretical perspectives about it, so that it is now necessary to examine some of the latter. Before undertaking this, however, there are two other aspects that we need to explore: in this light of the discussion on teaching styles it is essential to ask whether teaching is an art or a science and, second, since teaching and learning is a process of human interaction in which both sets of participants should be affected, it cannot be a neutral process. It is a moral one!
