Language Use in Real Life vs. Traditional Pedagogy Their Differences In real life, language is used to perform certain commucative functions;In traditional pedagogy, the teaching focus is on form rather than functions. For various reasons, traditional pedagogy tends to focus on one or two language skills and ignore the others. In reality, language is always used in certain context,but traditional pedagogy tends to isolate language from its context.

Fostering Learners Communicative Competence The goal of CLT is to develop students’ Communicative Competence, which includes both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations.

The Concept of Communicative Competence Four Aspects of Communicative Competence —Hymes 1) Knowing whether or not something is formally possible (grammatically acceptable), which is roghly equivalent to Chomsky' Linguistic Competence.

The Concept of Communicative Competence Four Aspects of Communicative Competence —Hymes 2) knowing whether something is understandable to human beings. 3) knowing whether something is in line with social norms. 4) knowing whether or not something is in fact done.

The Features of Communicative Language Teaching 1) It stresses the need to allow students opportunities for authentic and creative use of the language. 2) It focuses on meaning rather than form. 3) It suggests that learning should be relavant to the needs of students.

The Features of Communicative Language Teachong 4) It advocates task-based language teaching. Students should be given tasks to perform or problems to solve in the classroom. 5) It emphasizes a functional approach to language learning(i.e.what people do with language, such as inviting, apologizing, greeting and introducing, etc.)Also, to be competent in the target language,learners should acquire not only linguistic knowledge, but the culture of that language.

Three Priciples of Communicative Language Teaching (Richards and Rodgers 1986) 1)Communicative Principle 2)Task Principle 3) Meaningfulness Principle

The Implementation of Language Skills The translation of communicative competence in language teaching practice is to develop learners’ language skills, namely, listening, speaking, reading and wrinting.

Communicative Activities —Littlewood Functional Communicative Activities: ---Identifying pictures ---Discovering identical pairs ---Discovering seguences or locations ---Discovering missing information ---Discovering missing features

Communicative Activities —Littlewood --- Discovering secretes --- Communicating patterns and pictures --- Communicative models --- Discovering differences ---Restructuring story—seguences ---Pooling information to solve a problem

Communicative Activities —Littlewood Social interaction activities: ---Role play through cued dialogues ---Role play through cues and information ---Role play through situation and goals ---Role play through debate or discussion ---Large-scale simulation activities ---Improvisation

Criteria for Evaluating Communicative Classroom Activities—Ellis(1990) 1. Communicative purpose: The activity must involve the students in performing a real communicative purpose rather than just practicing language for its own sake. 2. Communicative desire: The activity must create a desire to communicate in the students. 3. Content, not form: When the students are doing the activity, they must be concentrating on what they are saying, not how they say it. They must have some "message" that they want to communicate.

Criteria for Evaluating Communicative Classroo Activities—Ellis(1990) 4. Variety of Language: The activity must involve the students in using a variety of language,not just one specific language form. 5. No teacher intervention: The activity must be designed to be done by the students working by themselves rather than with the teacher. 6. No material control: The activity should not be designed to control what language the students should use.The choice about what language to use should rest with the students.
