Download or read book Interpreting Communicative Language Teaching written by Sandra J. Savignon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of English as a global language, along with technological innovations and the growing need for learner autonomy, is changing language teaching rapidly and profoundly. With these changes come new demands and challenges for teaching education programs. This authoritative collection of writings highlights some of the best work being done today in the United States and abroad to make communicative competence an attainable goal. The contributors examine what has come to be known as communicative language teaching, or CLT, from the perspectives of teachers and teacher educators. The book documents current reform initiatives in Japan, the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and continental Europe to provide a global perspective on language teaching for communicative competence. Four major themes recur throughout the volume: the multifaceted nature of language teaching; the highly contextualized nature of CLT; the futility of defining a “native speaker” in the postcolonial, postmodern world; and the overwhelming influence of high-stakes tests on language teaching. The book is a useful and valuable tool for language teachers, teacher educators, and policymakers.

Download or read book Contexts of Competence written by Margie Berns and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of communicative competence as the goal of second and for eign language teaching has led to recognition of the role of context in language learning and use. As communicative competence is defined by the social and cultural contexts in which it is used, no single communicative competence can serve as the goal and model for all learners. This recognition has had an impact on program design and materials development. One significant change is that the choice of a teaching method is no longer the primary concern. Instead, the first step for the program designer is becoming familiar with the social and cultural features of the context of the language being taught. This includes a consideration of the uses speakers make of the language, their reasons for using it, and their attitudes toward it. Contexts of Competence: Social and Cultural Considerations in Commu nicative Language Teaching explores the relationship between context and com petence from a theoretical and practical perspective. Its audience is applied linguists in general and language teaching practitioners in particular. The overall aim of its five chapters is to provide a framework for consideration of various contexts of language learning and use and to guide the implementation and development of models of communicative language teaching that are responsive to the context-specific needs of learners.

This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language teaching approaches, methods and procedures are constantly undergoing reassessment. New ideas keep emerging as the growing complexity of the means of communication and the opportunities created by technology put language skills to new uses. In addition, the political, social and economic impact of globalisation, the new demands of the labour market that result from it, the pursuit of competitiveness, the challenges of intercultural communication and the diversification of culture have opened new perspectives on the central role that foreign languages have come to play in the development of contemporary societies. This book provides an insight into the latest developments in the field and discusses the new trends in foreign language teaching in four major areas, namely methods and approaches, teacher training, innovation in the classroom, and evaluation and assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: 1,0, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: The main goal of this paper is to clarify and ask how important is the role of teachers in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)? To answer this question, CLT is first defined. After that, the development of CLT will be looked at, followed by the most important core assumptions. Then it becomes more school specific and the influence of CLT on the EFL classroom will be analysed, where two other teaching methods that have their origin in CLT will be introduced. Foreign languages are an important topic in schools, while especially the English language is foregrounded. Learning the English language here in Germany is obligatory with the beginning of school life, even though this might change in the near future. As we all know, the best way to learn a language is to speak it, over and over again. Because without communication and speaking the language, you will never speak a language fluently, no matter how well you master the individual grammatical rules. Of course, also the content of the language someone is learning is important. Consequently, the content needs to be adapted to the respective students and classes in order to prepare these people for mastering real-life situations. Following this, there are several interesting methods of teaching second or foreign languages. One of the most popular methods is called “Communicative Language Teaching”. This method is mainly used when teachers try to teach second languages to students in a communicative way.
