My opinion on the Executive style of teaching is that if it is used in full, the style can be an execution of a learning environment. Teaching executive is good when used to start and end class on time as well as in regards to preparation. I feel however that when education is dictated, in other words, when teachers are told what to say reactions to wait for before moving on, forced to move at certain intervals, than the fun is taken out of learning.
While in high school I saw the executive approach mostly in math. We had so much each day we had to accomplish and if you didn't get the concept tough luck on you, the class would be moving on to the next section the next day. The executive approach does bring order to a class which can be a benefit of the this particular style of teaching.
In teaching a foreign language I do like to use various methodologies to get the information across and methodologies is a large portion of the executive approach. I like using a variety of methodologies and experimenting with existing ones to find ways they can be improved on.
