  2. Communicativelanguageteaching • THEORETICAL BACKGROUND: _ CLT starts from a theory of language as communication. The goal of language teaching is to develop what Hymes (1972) referred to as "communicative competence." • CLT is a humanisticapproachtoteaching (Richards & Rogers, 1986) thataimstohavelearnersacquireCommunicativeCompetence.

  3. Communicativelanguageteaching • CommunicativeCompetence: _ It is the competence that enables us to convey and interpret messages and to negotiate meanings interpersonally within specific contexts (Brown, 2007). • Theory of Language: _ Language is seen as a system for the expression of meaning, for interaction and communication.

  4. Communicativelanguageteaching • Theory of LanguageLearning: _ Language learning comes about through using language communicatively. • PracticalApplications: _ Improve students’ abilities to use the target language in real contexts. _ Prepare learners to use the target language for communication purposes. _ LSP (Language for Specific Purposes).

  5. Communicativelanguageteaching • CLT PROS: _ Focusonlearners’ needs. _ Itpromotescommunicativecompetenceacquisition. _ It prepares studentstointeract in the target languagesituation. • CLT CONS: _ Itrequiresteacherstohave a nativelikecommand of the target language. _ Itrequiresknowledge of the target culture and discourse. _ The main hindrances to the use of CLT in venezuelanhighschools appear to be the grammar-based examination system and the curriculum.

  7. suggestopedia • THEORETICAL BACKGROUND: _ Suggestopedia is a specific set of learning recommendations derived from Suggestology, which Lozanov describes as a "science ... concerned with the systematic study of the nonrational and/or nonconscious influences" that human beings are constantly responding to (Stevick 1976: 42). Suggestopedia tries to harness these influences and redirect them so as to optimize learning(Richards & Rogers, 1986). • Theory of Language: _ A view of language in which lexis is central and in which lexical translation rather than contextualization is stressed. • Theory of LanguageLearning: _ Language learning involves loading the memory banks with desired and facilitating memories.

  8. suggestopedia • PracticalApplications: _ Languageteaching. _ Potential use in verbal knowledgelearning. • PROS: _ Itseemsto relax studentswhilelearning. _ Itseemstopromotefastlearning.
