a. Objectives Piepho 1981 discusses the following levels of objectives in a communicative approach: 1. an integrative and content level language as a means of expression 2. a linguistic and instrumental level language as a semiotic system and an object of learning; 3. an affective level of interpersonal relationship and conduct language as a means of expressing values and judgments about oneself and others; 4. a level of individual learning needs remedial learning based on error analysis; 5. a general educational level of extra-linguistic goals language learning within the school curriculum. 36 b. The Syllabus 36 Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers, “Approaches and Methods”…, p. 73 Discussions of the nature of the syllabus have been central in Communicative Language Teaching. We have seen that one of the first syllabus models to be proposed was described as a notional syllabus Wilkins 1976, which specified the semantic-grammatical categories e.g., frequency, motion, location and the categories of communicative function that learners need to express. The Council of Europe expanded and developed this into a syllabus that included descriptions of the objectives of foreign language courses for European adults, the situations in which they might typically need to use a foreign language e.g., travel, business, the topics they might need to talk about e.g., personal identification, education, shopping, the functions they needed language for e.g., describing something, requesting information, expressing agreement and disagreement, the notions made use of in communication e.g., time, frequency, duration, as well as the vocabulary and grammar needed. The result was published as Threshold Level English van Ek and Alexander 1980 and was an attempt to specify what was needed in order to be able to achieve a reasonable degree of communicative proficiency in a foreign language, including the language items needed to realize this threshold level. 37 c. Types of learning and teaching activities The range of exercise types and activities compatible with a communicative approach is unlimited, provided that such as exercises enable learners to attain the communicative objectives of the curriculum, engage learners in communication, and require the use of such communicative process as information sharing, negotiation of meaning, and interaction. Littlewood 1981 distinguishes between “functional communication activities” and “social interaction activities” as major activity types in 37 http:www.vobs.atludescherAlternative20methodscommunicative_language_teaching.h tm Communicative Language Teaching. Functional communication activities include such tasks learners comparing sets of pictures and noting similarities and differences. Social interaction activities include conversation and discussion sessions, dialogues and role plays, simulation, skits, improvisations, and debates. d. Learner Roles The emphasis in Communicative Language Teaching on the processes of communication, rather than mastery of language. The role of learner as negotiator between the self, the learning process, and the object of learning- emerges from and interacts with the role of joint negotiation within the group and within the classroom procedures and activities which the group undertakes. The implication for the learner is that he should contribute as much as he gains, and thereby learn in an interdependent way. e. Teacher Roles The teacher has two main roles: the first role is to facilitate the communication process between all participants in the classroom, and between these participants and the various activities and texts. The second role is to act as an independent participant within the learning teaching group. These roles imply a set of secondary roles for the teacher; first, as an organizer of resources and as a resource himself, second as a guide within the classroom procedures and activities, a third role as a researcher and learner, with much to contribute in terms of appropriate knowledge and abilities, actual and observed experience of the nature of learning and organizational capacities. f. The Role of Instructional materials A wide variety of materials have been used to support communicative approaches to language teaching. Unlike some contemporary methodologies, such as Community Language Learning, practitioners of Communicative Language Teaching view materials as a way of influencing the quality of classroom interaction and language use. Materials thus have the primary role of promoting communicative language use. We will consider three kinds of materials currently used in CLT and label these text-based, task-based, and realia.
