What is the best teaching method for learning English?
According to academic research, linguists have demonstrated that there is not one single best method for everyone in all contexts, and that no one teaching method is inherently superior to the others.
Also, it is not always possible or appropriate to apply the same methodology to all learners, who have different objectives, environments and learning needs.

Only disadvantage of using ONLY one method is that other methods may have helpful approachs FOR YOU.
Your skills and goals are certainly different from everyone else's.
My teaching is probably best called"eclectic"-using different methods for differnt situations and students.
自分がやってみたい、興味がある、面白そうな方法をいろいろやってみるのが良いようですよ。自分に合った方法で。
「継続は力なり」ですから、語学は。興味を失わない方法で。
「文法訳読法にすべし」とか、「英会話にすべし」とか、限定するのではなく。
