22、 Good morning, boys and girls, today Ill talk about the Communicative Approach. The Communicative Approach is an approach to second or foreign language teaching which emphasizes that the goal of language learning is communicative competence. Teaching materials used with the Communicative Approach of

23、ten teach the language needed to express and understand different kinds of functions such as requesting, describing, expressing likes and dislikes. The approach follows a national syllabus and emphasizes the processes of communication to get information, and using language for social interaction wit

24、h other people. Here Id like to introduce the development of the Communicative Approach, its features, advantages and disadvantages. First, lets have a look at the development of the Communicative Approach. In 1971, a group of experts began to explore if it was possible to develop a system in which

25、learning tasks are broken down into “ portions or units, each of which corresponds to a component of a learners needs and is systematically related to all the other portions“(Richards and Rodgem,1986). Among them, British linguist D. A. Wilkins document proposed a functional or communicative definit

26、ion of language that could serve as a basis for developing communicative syllabuses for language teaching. In 1976, he revised his document into a book titled Notional Syllabuses. Since then, the scope of Communicative Approach has expanded. During the process of taking Communicative Approach into a

27、ction, some variants appear, such as the Natural Approach, Content-based Teaching and Task-based Teaching. The Natural Approach is a second or foreign language acquisition-based method. It emphasizes natural communication rather than formal grammar study.(1)The core of this approach is language acqu

28、isition which is considered to be a subconscious process. It aims to develop learners communicative skills, enable students to use the target language adequately and make their meanings clear.(2)The teaching process of this approach is divided into four stages: Pre-production, Early Production, Spee

29、ch Emergence, and Intermediate Fluency. Content-based Teaching is a second or foreign language teaching method which teachers teach students language skills in a highly integrated fashion through the target language while learning content such as science, mathematics, and English business.(3)There a

30、re three general models of content-based teaching: theme-based, adjunct, and sheltered. Task-based Teaching is a further development of the Communicative Approach, focuses on the construction, sequencing, and evaluation of particular goal-related action complexes that learners carry out either by th

31、emselves or joindy.(4)It aims at providing opportunities for the learners to experiment with and explore both spoken and written language through learning activities. During the process of using the Task-based Teaching, there are three stages: pre-task, task cycle, language focus. Second, lets move

32、to the features of the Communicative Approach. The Communicative Approach has several features.(5)The most obvious characteristic is that almost everything that is done has a communicative intent during the process of using this method. Meaning is the paramount. Another feature is that the activitie

33、s in the Communicative Approach are always carried out by students in small groups. Students are encouraged to interact with each other in order to learn to negotiate meaning. Through these small group activities, students are engaged in meaningful and half-authentic language use rather than in the

34、merely mechanical practice of language patterns. The last feature is that it is learner-centered second language teaching. In the Communicative Approach, classroom performance is managed not just by the teacher, but also by all participants. Teachers are not seen only as teachers, learners simply as

35、 learners, instead of being the dominating authority in the classroom,(6)one primary role for the teacher is to facilitate the communicative process between all participants in the classroom and between these participants and the various activities and texts. The second role is to act as an interdep

36、endent participant within the learning-teaching groups(David and Ann, 2001). Third, Ill say something about the advantages and disadvantages of the Communicative Approach. The Communicative Approach is widely accepted today because it has many advantages. (7)Firstly, it develops students communicati

37、ve competence much better. Students are required to use the target language appropriately and commonly.(8)Secondly, the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing can be taught integrally by using the Communicative Approach.(9)Thirdly, it pays much more attention to students needs. The

38、activities are based on the consideration of what the learners should most likely to communicate in the target language, so that students are likely to put more efforts into it and work more efficiently. Finally, the Communicative Approach emphasizes the learners cognitive ability and operational ca

39、pabilities, which allow the students themselves to think about and express their views, so that the ability of using the target language to communicate in real life is trained. Nevertheless, the Communicative Approach still has its limitations. First of all, there is a problem of learners needs: how

40、 to identify the students needs in a short period executively, to what extent learners can be said to have a common need. All these questions still dont have any clear answers. Secondly, the Communicative Approach does not solve the problems of grammatical teaching well.(10)Communicative Approach ju

41、st emphasizes the use of the language, but not the usage of grammar. Although grammar is not regarded so important these years, it is still an essential factor for mastering a second or foreign language. Finally, students are expected to interact primarily with each other rather than with the teache

42、r, correction of errors may be absent or infrequent. These will become obstacles when they are trying to get their language skills improved or further developed. OK, today we have briefly introduced the development of the Communicative Approach, its features, advantages and disadvantages. I hope tha

43、t after todays lecture, youll understand the Communicative Approach better. Thats all for todays lecture.
