* 10.3.3 Communicative language teaching 交际教学法 If you are a teacher, how can you teach the following sentence to your students? Have you had your lunch? 1. Teacher reads the sentence and gets the students read the sentence too 2. Teacher explains the meaning and translate it. 3. Teacher explains the grammatical structure or rules 4. Teacher gives more examples. 5. Students do more written execises. In this way, the structure of the sentence will be learned and remembered. But when two Chinese people meet in real life, A says to B: Have you had your lunch? It may mean: A question: Ask if B has eaten the meal or not. Greeting: Hello. Invitation: Invite B to have a meal. Suggestion: You should have your lunch. For Chinese, it’s a usual informal greeting, and it has the same function as “Hello.” But for English, it often means an invitation or a formal question. He will feel confused if the Chinese moves away without waiting for the answer. So in communication, a certain sentence can be understood very differently in different situation. One possible solution to bridge the gap between classroom language teaching and real life language use is the adoption of communicative language teaching.(CLT) The goal of CLT is to develop students’ communicative competence. a). The same language structures can realize different functions in different contexts. b). The different structures can express the same meaning. C). You should also know whether it is appropriate to use FORM X in CONTEXT Y. d). L2 learning is skill learning. Teaching objectives: translation reading writing *
