the Prosent and Learn Approach vs. Teaching through Input Approach

Hi☆
We had a class about Teaching Vocablary through Input in last Friday.
There are two ways to teach it, that are 'the Present and Learn Approach' and 'the Teaching through Input Approach. '
I link the page that the have the power point which our teacher showed us in the class.So if you whould like to look,please click here

Today,I want to write about the strength and weekness of each approach for the first, and after that,witch approach I want to use if I am a junior high scool English teacher.

First, I write about the strength and weekness of each approach.

○Strengh
Students listen what the teacher telling with thinking the content of it very carefuly so,their listening ability can be improved.And they can understand what that is in as it was (they can catch the nuance of the word in English.)
○Weekness
Students can't understand if the teacher can't tell them in clearly,not with using the words they can understand.And also, some students may not be able to understand with listening,some students may not be able to understand with the teacher's talking for a long time so students feel boring.(this approach have short amount of acticity)
<Teaching through Input Approach>
○Strengh
Students can understand with various activities the teacher prepared for. So they are be able to input with having fun and using English(If they can't use English properly, they can notice which point they don't understand with themselves)
○Weekness
For students whose character is shy, this approach isn't suitable because the activity is very important in this approach but they can't do it positively.

They can understand with presentation of the teacher or with acticivites the teacher prepared for but there are no writing work in these. Power point tell us checking their knowkledge is also important and I think so too.So, I think writing work is needed to both approaches and I want to checking thire knowledge with writing.(May be someone and say that'It is something like a test!I hate tests!-Laugh)

Second,I write about which approach I want to use if I am a junior high school teacher.
The answer to this question is 'Presnt and Learn Approach.'
I have some reasons for choosing this approach.
I think there are a little opprtunity for students to improve their listening ablity.
I think listening is very important because we catch Enflish with hearing for the first
and think what they say and think and after that get meanings of the sentence and use the Enflish finaly.
And also students think what I say very carefully because if they don't hear, they'll be confuse to study. Keeping listening and thinking for a long time is very difficult to students but I want them they'll be able to stnad to listen to Enflish.
Of course, I don't teach students in this approach always. I think we have to use the methd the most match to students and it is the most important and difficult to choose. To do it without any confuse, we have to know who they are in daily life.

Rozen,
Very interesting but I had a little difficulty understanding the following argument:

"The answer to this question is 'Presnt and Learn Approach.'

I think listening is very important because we catch Enflish with hearing for the first

Can you explain what you meant later?
