- to study the theoretical basis of communicative language teaching;
- to research principles, aims and features of communicative teaching;
to reveal main techniques of involving of pupils in communication activity;
to develop lesson plans with using of communicative teaching techniques.
In our diploma work we use methods of research:
· studying and analyzing scientific literature;
· observation of the process of teaching and learning foreign languages ??at school;
· descriptive method
· contextual method
· transformative method
· generalization of teachers 'experience;
· lesson modeling;
Scientific basis : this diploma work mainly based upon studies of the following scientists and methodologists: R. Gower, D. Philips, S. Walters, N. Chomsky, HD Brown, D. Nunan lt ; # justify gt; Structurally research consists of :
· Introduction
· Theoretical basis of the communicative language teaching
· Typology of teaching activities
· Approbation
· Conclusion
· References
· Appendices
In the introduction we set such points as the relevance of the topic, subject and object, advanced the hypothesis, the main goal and the objectives, indicated research methods, which we used in our investigation, scientific bases and practical value of our research.
In the first chapter we consider communicative competence as a main goal of FLT, background of teaching communication, principles and features of the communicative approach.
The second chapter is devoted to working out technology of the teaching communication, i. e. methodical aspects of teaching communication, types of group work, techniques of communicative teaching
The approbation describes the implication of the research materials to the process of English teaching and learning, it s analyses and interpretation of the results.
In the conclusion we summarize results of our investigation and give proof of the theoretical and practical value of the work and make conclusion.
Appendices contain the additional material to the theoretical and practical parts.
The spheres of approbation are the school lessons and extracurricular activities; teachers professional development seminars.
The practical value : the materials can be used in language teaching methodology.
1. Theoretical basis of the communicative language teaching
1.1 Background of the communicative language teaching
Communicative language teaching (CLT) is an approach to the teaching lt; # justify gt; 1. Classroom goals are focused on all of the components (grammatical, discourse, functional, sociolinguistic, and strategic) of communicative competence. Goals therefore must intertwine the organizational aspects of language with the pragmatic.
2. Language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposesanizational language forms are not the central focus, but rather aspects of language that enable the learner to accomplish those purposes.
. Fluency and accuracy are seen as complementary principles underlying communicative techniques. At times fluency may have to take on more importance than accuracy in order to keep learners meaningfully engaged in language use.
. Students in a communicative class ultimately have to use the language, productively and receptively, in unrehearsed contexts outside the classroom. Classroom tasks must therefore equip students with the skills necessary for communication in those contexts.
. Students are given opportunities to focus on their own learning process through an understanding of their own styles of learning and through the development of appropriate strategies for autonomous learning.
. The role of the teacher is that of facilitator and guide, not an all-knowing bestower of knowledge. Students are therefore en...
