COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING ACTIVITIES

Dr. Namdev D. Patil

Abstract :

 The recent concept of the communicative language teaching (CLT) has ought a revolution of thoughts and ideas and it has, in fact, become a challenging task for linguists to understand it in the right perspective. Some linguists have tried to prove that all our past efforts of teaching language have been failures just because of our inadequate understanding or rather misunderstanding of the notion as well as the functions of language. They argue that much emphasis on structures and lexical items has not yielded desirable results. Teaching of English at present at all levels is either limited to structure or grammar or translation method. At the primary and secondary school levels, structures and vocabulary are taught through a structural syllabus and grammar–translation method. It is believed that this would help the learners construct correct English sentences with the help of the structures learnt over the years, at the higher level these structures are revised and more exposure to English is provided with the help of literary texts.
