Morphology

teaching + method

The meaning 'a particular approach for instructing students' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'teaching' (the activity of instructing) with 'method' (a systematic way). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows straightforward semantic combination, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Teaching method brings together teaching and method: teaching is 'helping people learn' and method is 'a plan or way of doing something'. So imagine a teacher choosing a 'recipe' or set of 'steps' to help students, and that picture explains why the phrase means a particular way a teacher uses to give lessons.
