COMMUNICATIVE
LANGUAGE TEACHING
ESTABLISH
THE ADAPTABILITY OF A TEXT UNIT, BETWEEN
SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING FROM THE POINT OF CLT AS A METHOD.
Generally the English teacher had been working with the editor
guidelines to guarantee the English learning; sometimes the textbooks include
the method to teach. Most of the English
teachers take more time explaining the process of the exercises than the
vocabulary or grammar rules.
In my professional practice, I take a couple of weeks
to explain the textbooks and the process to develop the units to try to
finish the school year and the books successfully, but the problems begin with
the parents' or family's input in the process of learning, and the work grows
up fast because our number of students increases, some in the classroom and
others in the home.
I
think, it is important to always define an adaptability system between the
textbooks and the editor guidelines versus the reality of our learners. Almost all private schools and high schools comprehend the importance of studying English as
a second language, and some of them take courses in particular institutions to
better their skills. The public schools and high schools are totally
different. The students and their families do not give the necessary importance.
COMPARE SOME METHODS, METHODOLOGIES, AND
APPROACHES VERSUS CLT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE
Considering that, as a method is a way of teaching with prescribed objectives and
guidelines, and the teacher has little or no leeway when it comes to
implementation. In addition, an approach is the route of teaching whose
principles can be applied in many different ways.
However,
communicative language teaching (CLT) as a method versus the communicative
approach (CA) as support could guarantee the results of good learning in our
Ecuadorian environment.
The
big frustration of the learners and their families is always learning grammar
rules and repeating them and the vocabulary many times until they write and pronounce
them correctly, but they don't have time to try to express themselves.
Communicative
language teaching as a method proposes interesting activities to increase communication like this:
Role play,
interviews, group work, information gaps, opinion sharing, and scavenger hunts.
PROPOSE SOLUTION
ABOUT COMMUNICATIVE PROBLEMS IN THE TEXT UNIT
In this magic process of
teaching, the teacher can add some digital resources, like websites or apps, to
practice the communicative process and get better results.
Definitely, it is necessary
to adapt some cultural topics to our reality only for better comprehension at
the beginning of the process of learning a second language. Considering that most
of the students in private schools type “A,” their parents try to study abroad.
