Communicative Language Teaching
  1. The origins of Communicative Language Teaching are found in the changes in the British language teaching tradition in the late 1960s
    1. Situational Language Teaching represented the major approach to teaching English as a foreign language.
      1. CLT is that it pays systematic attention to functional as well as structural aspects of language.
        1. APPROACH
          1. Theory of Language
            1. The communicative Approach in language teaching starts from a theory of language as communication.
              1. In Hymes's view, knowledge and ability for language use with respect to
                1. 1. Whether something is formally possible. 2.Whether something is feasible. 3.Whether something is appropriate in relation to a context. 4.Whether something is in fact done, actually performed.
                2. Seven basic functions that language performs for children learning their first language.
                  1. 1. Instrumental function. 2.Regulatory function. 3.Interactional function. 4.Personal function. 5.Heuristic function. 6.Imaginative function. 7.Representational function.
                  2. An influential analysis of communicative competence was found in Canale & Swain (1980), in which four dimensions of communicative competence are identified:
                    1. >Grammatical competence, >Sociolinguistic competence, >Discourse competence, >Strategic competence.
                    2. Characteristics of this communicative view of language follow
                      1. 1. Language is a system. 2. Interaction and communication.. 3,Funtional and communicative uses. 4.. Grammatical and structural features.
                    3. Theory of Learning
                      1. Elements of an underlying learning theory.
                        1. >The communication principle, >The task principle, >The meaningfulness principle.
                    4. DESIGN
                      1. Objectives
                        1. >An integrative and content level >A linguistic and instrumental level >An affective level of interpersonal relationships and conduct >A level of individual learning needs >A general educational level of extra-linguistic goals.
                        2. Syllabus
                          1. One of the first syllabus models to be proposed was described as a notional syllabus (Wilkins, 1976), which specified the semantic- grammatical categories and the categories of communicative function that learners need to express.•
                            1. Communicative syllabus types.
                              1. 1. Structures plus functions. 2.Functional spiral around a structural core. 3.Structural, functional, instrumental. 4.Functional. 5.Notional. 6.Interactional. 7.Task-based. 8.Learner-generated.
                            2. Types of learning and teaching activities
                              1. The range of exercise types and activities compatible with a communicative approach is unlimited.
                                1. Exercises enable learners to attain communicative objectives of the curriculum, engage Ss in communication, require the use of communicative processes like information sharing, negotiation of meaning, and interaction.
                                  1. Classroom activities are often designed to focus on completing tasks that are mediated through language or involve negotiation of information and information sharing.
                                  2. Learner roles
                                    1. The learner is a negotiator .
                                      1. The implication is that the learner should contribute as much as he gains, and learn in an interdependent way.
                                      2. Teacher roles
                                        1. Teachers assumed the role of need analyst, counselor, and group process manager.

                                        3. PROCEDURE
                                          1. The methodological procedures reflect a sequence of activities represented as follows: >Pre- Communicative Activities >Communicative Activities.
