I meant to it was the best model to illustrate how new techniques are used to adapt teaching methods. I didn't mean the "best model" in that it was an example for others to follow.

I think that the Languages' teaching Model is the best model...for languages. I think that this method of teaching does not work in other classes like Science and Maths however because of the content. Therefore rendering any comparison between teaching techniques in different subjects invalid. You could say relatively the best. Sorry just being pedantic "Languages are the best model though"

Fortunately we very, very rarely had exams for assessment though, I much prefer the research/essay way of doing things. I hate the 'remember and repeat' way of learning, mainly because it's so boring I used to zone out through lessons, and it all comes down to a test of memory, rather than a test of actual learning and thinking for oneself - which is a better skill to master anyway.

My initial reaction was that ought to have been a lesson one learns quite early on in their study of language (ie primary school). But then I remembered Harry Potter and now actually disagree with you on this point. If Rowling can make up her own words, why can't we? Good post, I would be interested in the opinions of teachers/lecturers on the subject. “I also found that you just can’t improvise your own grammar and invent your own words.”
