The communicative approach is the
theory that language is communication. Therefore the final aim of CLT is
communicative competence.
The principles of the communicative approach:
- Learners learn through using it to
communicate.
- Authentic and meaningful communication
should be the goal of classroom activities.
- Fluency is an important dimension of
communication.
- Communication involves the integration of
different language skills.
- Learning is a process of creative
construction and envolves trial and error.
So, what is the teacher's role in
this?
The teacher
has two main roles:
- To facilitate the communication process in
the classroom.
- To act as an independent participant
within the learning-teaching group.
The teacher
is also expected to act as a resource, an organiser of resources, a motivator,
a counsellor, a guide, an analyst and a researcher.
In practical terms, what does
that mean?
It means
that we need to concentrate on the following:
- Teacher-student activities.
- Activities.
- Materials.
