Communicative
language teaching (CLT), or the communicative approach, is an approach to
language teaching that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the
ultimate goal of study.
Classroom activities
Classroom activities used in communicative language teaching include the
following:
·
Role-play
·
Interviews
·
Games
·
Language exchanges
·
Surveys
·
Pair-work
·
Learning by teaching
However, not all
courses that utilize the Communicative Language approach will restrict their
activities solely to these. Some courses will have the students take occasional
grammar quizzes, or prepare at home using non-communicative drills, for
instance. William Glasser's "control theory" exemplifies his attempts
to empower students and give them voice by focusing on their basic, human
needs: Unless students are given power, they may exert what little power they
have to thwart learning and achievement through inappropriate behavior and
mediocrity. Thus, it is important for teachers to give students voice,
especially in the current educational climate, which is dominated by
standardization and testing (Simmons and Page, 2010)
