It is a must to take into account students' individual needs and, as it is possible, attempt to fulfill those needs. I actually incorporate to my own teaching methodology some aspects from other different approaches to teaching English. I also take advantage of the intrinsic motivation of the students to learn and, I boost the extrinsic motivation by being aware of the students' multiple intelligences.

As I've never heard about it I had to ask my friend Google, and it says that it is an important video DJ, and there's also a definition by Dictionary.com that is "making decisions on the basis of what seems best instead of following some single doctrine or style" I hope this is not what we are talking about because then we'd be talking about a "follow your heart" approach, not following any pedagogical approach could lead to students that don't even check the book and therefore are not ready for the EC from ASW. Don't get me wrong, as teachers we have our own styles, but not having any common system to follow could lead to skipping certain steps of the process that the students shouldn't skip for the tests that they have to do. There's another definition but for "eclectic approach" and I think it's good, and it's what we do here at ASW, (except for cooperative learning which is something that's not even possible, unless we had steady groups of students along a defined number of classes) The institute allows a wide range of approaches and as teachers we have to define in a few minutes which one we should use according to the type of students and their needs. Sadly not all the students will like/be able to adapt to any variation of the traditional approaches so you have to measure that and as a last step you should ask the students how comfortable they are with the way in what the topic was explained. This last part is something that I learned at ASW due to the duality Student/costumer that is present here.

So far, I like to have conversations based on a common topics, such as shopping, travels, holidays, etc, where students not only have the opportunity to practice their language and personal skills, but also, they are ready to anticipate what the lesson will provide for their personal learning since in the class the topic will surely be re introduce not as a conversation but as a reading, or as a listening using different feature from the ones I use in the process of the chat development.

I try to connect students' lessons with their own experiences. It looks for high interaction lively learning and multiple tasks.

According to what I've been reading about the Eclectic method and What I've seen so far in my teaching. I think , I do constantly use it in classroom activities whenever I have sometime to make students feel comfortable with their learning process at the end of each course session asking students to come up with real life stituations whichever they use the language in context. In fact, even when they are given a reading assigment, I normally demand that they come up with real questions for their classmates to have a lateer discussion about the topic dealt.
