As a conclusion about this course of Abilities development, I’d like to
say that I really feel that all things viewed during the program are so
useful in terms of shaping my vocation to become an English teacher.
This
course had let me to explore about some theories, approaches and
methods all those elements are extremely important in teaching a
language.
In my own opinion I have to express that I’ve started to
feel identified with an interesting approach which is communicative
language teaching (CLT) through the readings I’ve realized that is of
course an extensive approach but at the same moment so important and
completely involved in make students learn and communicate, express
themselves and making the students develop a lot of strategies through
interaction and another factors, furthermore I can say that my interest
about this approach have been so high that I’ve decided to explore more
about it, I really feel so identified with it.
About another aspects,
in my opinion was a class where I had to work harder that in others,
was difficult for me but finally I got it, I really liked the idea of
share with my partners about different topics although I had prefer that
we haven’t give a lot of time in that activities.

Communicative Language Teaching
This approach started because focuses
the necessity in language teaching rather than only mastery structures.
Here the learner needs to understand
and express rather than describe the core of language through concepts of
grammar or vocabulary.
It’s important to say that the
approach aims to:
·
Develop
procedures for teaching 4 skills in order to interpretate the language
communication
·
Make
communicative competence the desired goal of language teaching.
Communicative Language
Teaching vs Audio-lingual method
In audio-lingual method, works with
dialogues, which are essentially memorized, there learning is learning
structures, sounds or words; in contrast in CLT, if dialogues are used this
don’t be memorized, language learning is learnt to communicate.
In audio-lingual method, drilling is
the principal technique; in CLT drilling may occur rarely.
Audio-lingual method asserts that
reading and writing are deferred till speech is mastered; in CLT reading and
writing can start from the first moment.
In audio-lingual method, linguistic
competence is the desired goal, in CLT the communicative competence is the
desired goal.
Teacher’s
role
·
In
audio-lingual method, teachers only controlled learners and prevents them from
doing anything that conflicts the theory
·
The
teacher acts as an independent participant in the classroom
Learner’s
role
·
Students
are expected to interact with other people, this could be developed through
forming team works or pair work
Theory of
learning
Essentially works with activities
involving real communication.
Use three kinds of materials:
1.
Text based
2.
Task based.- games/ role plays
3.
Realia.- signs/ magazines/
advertisements/ news papers
In Hyme’s view a person who acquires
communicative competence acquires the knowledge and the ability for language
use.
Key element:
Learning by doing.
