HISTORY
Are to be found in the changes in the British language teaching tradition
dating from the late 1960s
CREATOR
Noam Chomsky’s
CONTEXT IN WHICH IT
WAS CREATED
In 1971 a group of experts began to investigate the possibility of
developing language courses on a unit-credit system, a system in which
learning tasks are broken down into "portions or units, each of which
corresponds to a component of a learner's needs and is systematically
related to all the other portions
PHILOSOPHY
Its main objective is to help students create sentences with meaning
(instead of helping them to build perfectly correct grammatical structures
or to get a perfect pronunciation).
OBJECTIVES
■ Piepho (1981) discusses the following levels of objectives in a
communicative approach:
■ 1. an integrative and content level (language as a means of expression)
■ 2. a linguistic and instrumental level (language as a semiotic system and
an object of learning);
■ 3. an affective level of interpersonal relationships and conduct
(language as a means of expressing values and judgments about
oneself and others);
■ 4. a level of individual learning needs (remedial learning based on error
analysis);
■ 5. a general educational level of extra-linguistic goals (language
learning within the school curriculum).
TEACHER’S
ROLE
- Facilitator
-Independent participator
-Group process manager
-Need analyst
-Counselor
LEARNER’S ROLE
-Students give and receive
information.
-Students are expected to interact
with each other rather than the
teacher.
MATERIALS
ADVANTAGES
-The communicative approach seeks to personalize and localize language and
adapt it to the interests of students.
-Meaningful language is always more easily retained by learners.
-Seeks to use authentic resources. And that is more interesting and motivating for
children.
-Children acquire grammar rules as a necessity to speak so is more proficient and
efficient.
-This technique increases the teacher-student relationship. It’s an interactive
relationship.
-Students can learn the target language in an enjoyable way.
DISADVANTAGES
-The Communicative Approach often seems to be interpreted as: “if the
teacher understands the student we have good communication” but native
speakers of the target language can have great difficulty understanding
students.
-CLT approach focuses on fluency but not accuracy. The approach does not
focus on error reduction but instead creates a situation where learners are
left using their own devices to solve their communication problems.
