Communicative approach Sample Clauses

Communicative approach. The communicative approach is the most widely used and most widely accepted approach to classroom- based foreign language teaching today, and in many ways, is a culmination of those approaches and methodologies that appeared before. It emphasizes the learner’s ability to communicate various functions, such as asking and answering questions, making requests, describing, narrating and comparing.

As 50+ learners have the tendency to avoid formal training, the methodology of the language café seems ideal due to its foundations on the principles of free expression and exchange of ideas and information. The themes of the language café conversations can revolve around conducting online job searches, submitting applications, preparing for interviews, and surviving in the competitive labor market of today. Usually a facilitator who speaks the target language should be present, in order to help the students stay on course and to answer any inquiries that might occur.
