M. Beeta Judio

Abstract :

This paper gives an overview of the communicative method of teaching and its varied aspects. The ultimate objective of any language learner is to learn the language it its totality and not in bits and pieces. The communicative syllabus is designed to incorporate the components needed for the leaner to use the language effectively. In communicative approach, the teacher has to find out the needs of the learner and act as a motivator lessening the problems faced by students in learning the language. The learners are trained for communicative competence and more emphasis is given for holistic learning. Yet, the learners face lot of difficulties communicating in different scenarios. The paper reinforces the fact that language learning is complicated since there is no definite method to learn a language. The communicative skill varies in degree from one person to another due to various reasons unknown or unexplored. In this respect, the paper puts forth an open ended question with regard to teaching methodologies used in classrooms.
