Communicative Approach

-

 Communicative language teaching makes use of real-life situations that necessitate communication. The teacher sets up a situation that students are likely to encounter in real life. Unlike the audio-lingual method of language teaching, which relies on repetition and drills, the communicative approach can leave students in suspense as to the outcome of a class exercise, which will vary according to their rep. The real- life situations change from time to time as students' motivation to learn comes from their desire to communicate in meaningful ways about meaningful topics. Margie S. Barns, an expert in the field of communicative language teaching writes in explaining Firth's view that "language is interaction; it is interpersonal activity and has a clear relationship with society. In this light, language study has to look at the use ( function) of language in context, both its linguistic context and its social or situational context." 

Characteristics of Communicative Approach:

* Language is a system for the expression of meaning. 

*The main function of language is to allow interaction and communication. 

The units of language are not just grammatical and structural features, but categories of functional and communicative meaning as exemplified in discourse.

 * Classroom should provide opportunities for rehearsal of real-life situations and e provide opportunity for real communication. The approach emphasises, on creative role- plays/ simulations/ surveys /projects/ - all produce spontaneity and improvisation-not just repetition and drills. 

 * More emphasis is given on active modes of learning, including pair work and group-work.

 *  Emphasis is on the processes of communication, rather than mastery of language forms.

*  Learning is a process of creative construction and involves trial and error.

*  Communication involves the integration of different language skills.
