" THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH"



Adventages:

• Students create a communicative competence.
• Students learn how to use the language, if they make a mistake the teacher must keep it going and correct it later by emphasizing and practicing.
• Students develop a linguistic fluency.
• Students are active. They want to know something for this reason they ask for information.
• There is a social interaction not just the teacher, but the whole class.
• The important point here is that the teacher starts teaching in context using real vocabulary.
• The activities are focused on the students.
• Students infer what is going to happen.
