Jerome Bruner , in his book discussing the new meaning of the changes in the educational landscape , quipped in his 1966 published work , saying that a theory of instruction .is in effect a theory of how growth and development are assisted by diverse means " Bruner was trying to point out that diverse means - and new means - should assist in the propagation of growth and development needed by the

educational system at work and in effect today in several educational institutions (1966

For this specific study , the introduction of the new system in educational teaching method and style focuses more on the use of Bernice McCarthy 's 4MAT learning model to be able to effectively teach English in the English as a Foreign Language class among the secondary grade students in the secondary level of education (McCarthy , 1996

The question that haunts professionals now who are intelligent enough to know when change is suitable but is overly conservative and passive to wait one more year , one more study , one more generation of ill-taught students answered by the above mentioned statement of Bruner . Education is always about growth and about development , of minds of individuals who can do better things when taught properly , when motivated using the exact dosages of excitement , freewill and interaction inside a classroom setting (Bruner , 1966

Education is about the hurdling of the obstacles of difficulty - not failure - to understand , and this is a process that engulfs not only students , but academicians as well . When the need for the assistance of `diverse means ' for real growth and development is necessitated by the obvious void of knowledge owing to the use of antiquated means professionals and academicians start stop to ask and ask , not necessarily to themselves , but theless addressed to those who are responsible to put forward and answer : is there a new tool for teaching and learning (Ojure , 1997

There is , there always was , alternative ways to teaching students and making them experience learning in different ways and means . The next aspect put in questioning is the impact : Yes , it is a new method , a new tool , a new approach - but will it work ? Over time cynics of those lobbying against the introduction of new teaching styles have posited several points of discussion usually attacking the motive of the one responsible for the introduction of the new teaching style (McCarthy 1996

The issues hurled at it ranges from personal business gain to fraudulent endeavor by the persons involved . Still , new methods of teaching and learning are being introduced as years go by and this research hopes that this can help open a new avenue for new teaching and learning style to take over previous teaching and learning styles that cannot anymore cater to the new sets of educational needs and the new types of students that require an upgraded style of knowledge acquisition
