Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) What implications/what can we learn from the game???
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) • Use indefinite pronouns • Convey ideas and information • Open an interaction • Confidence • Keenness • Sensitivity
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) • Expression of meaning or interaction or communication. • Focus on functional skills and linguistics objectives. E.g. to report a robbery using indefinite pronouns (someone, anyone etc.) and general English knowledge (give answers to different types of questions and basic sentence structure).
Pros • Great autonomy, no fixed syllabus • Replicate real communication • Information gap: encourages Ss to take an active role in the activity. • Activity can lessen the tense atmosphere of classrooms. • Enable Ss to practice different language items in English.
Cons • Uncontrolled range of language Ss may use some wrong form • T cannot listen to the entire conversation of every Ss hard to correct their mistake • More emphasis on fluency than accuracy grammar lost.
