The document presents a curriculum focused on communicative goals, emphasizing the connection between language, culture, and learning methods. It outlines various theoretical views influencing communicative curricula, including sociocultural and cognitive perspectives, and highlights the importance of context in language acquisition. Additionally, it discusses the evolution of language learning theories and the role of humanistic approaches, prioritizing meaningful communication and the learner's experience.

The Theoritical Views Which Influence The Goals Of
Communicative Curriculum

3. Sociolinguistic views any language as inseparable
from its sociocultural context.
Social Anthropologists
USA : SAPIR & WHORF
BRITAIN : Malinowski, Firth, Halliday
Main Concern : The connection between
language and society/culture and Phenomenon of
Variation at all Structural level.
Sociocultural Views of The Nature of Language

4. • Communicative Competence entails
knowing not only the language code or
the form of language, but also what to
say to whom and how to say it
appropriately in any given situation.

5. • The growing emphasis on cognitive psychology and
information processing models in education has given
special impetus to the area of research related to
language learning (Rivers and Melvin;1981).
• Curriculum planning and materials design need to include
tasks that allow learners to experience a variety of
cognitive activities.
• Teachers and students should become aware of individual
learning styles.
A Cognitively – based view of language learning

6. According Selinger (1983)
• Strategies : Superodinate, abstract,
constant, and long-term cognitive
processes.
• Tactics : Short-term processes used to
overcome temporary and immediate
obstacles to the achievement of the long-
range goal of language acquisition.
Strategies and Tactics

7. • One of the characteristics of second are language
acquistion is the difference that seems to exist between
the strategies or processes needed for acquiring the
language in outside school and in the class room.
• According to Cummins, the cognitive-academic aspects of
a first and second language are thought to be
interdependent and proficiency in a second language
• Cumming´s ideas are important to distinguish between
school and everyday interaction.
Context-embeded an Context-reduced
Language Use

8. • One of the characteristics of second are language
acquistion is the difference that seems to exist between
the strategies or processes needed for acquiring the
language in outside school and in the class room.
• According to Cummins, the cognitive-academic aspects of
a first and second language are thought to be
interdependent and proficiency in a second language
• Cumming´s ideas are important to distinguish between
school and everyday interaction.
Context-embeded an Context-reduced
Language Use

9. • Cummins (1979) proposes a distinction between
CALP and BICS.
CALP & BICS
Cognitive/academic
language proficiency
Learners manipulate features of
language outside interpersonal
context.
Classroom exercises and
tests that focus on
forms.
Basic interpersonal
communicative skills
Communicative capacity acquired in
order to function in daily
interpersonal exchange.
Oral interaction test.

10. • Cummins (1981) argues for a continuum with
context-embedded communication at one end
and context-reduced communication at the
other.
• The amount of information processing that
requires certain task. How much cognitive
involvement.
• Well-learned or automated task and not well-
learned or demanding task.

11. Cummins Idea :
In defining course objectives
In developing learning tasks
In designing activities for language use
In planning the overall course

12. • In the 1950's and 60's learning was
influenced by behavioristic psychology. In
behaviorism, the emphasis was on the
linguistic form (grammar, structure).
• Criticize against the behaviorism
This was criticized for limiting creativity and
self-expression.
The Holistic Approach to Language Learning

13. • Gestalt Theory
The cognitive theory its concerned about the
active learning, discovery learning that made
the students be more creative.
• Holistic Approach
The learning process happen in general and
socio cultural factors are included within. The
learning process carry through the overall
interaction, message transmission and doesn’t
focus with discrete units of language
(grammar).

14. in 1960s errors had to be avoided at all costs. But, now
they are part of the learning process.
Two questions arise from them:
1. Did the error made by the Transfer of L1 to L2?
2. Do they reveal universal characteristics of L1
acquisition?
Learners make hypothesis combining their previous L1
knowledge and their newly acquired L2 knowledge.
Course and material designers must be aware of this
mistakes.
What Learners’ Error Tell Us

15. • Greening Period (1960-1970)
• The Humanistic Theory scholars were Abraham
Maslow, Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls and Erich Berne.
• The Humanistic curriculum emphasized
responsibility of students in learning language,
making decision, choosing and initiating actions,
expressing themselves in feeling, opinion, needs,
ability, etc.
The Fundamentals of a
Humanistic Curriculum

16. 1. Tried emphasizing on meaningful
communication from learners’ point of view.
2. Value the real characteristics of learner.
3. Learning is viewed as a "self-realization
experience“.
4. The other learners are the support group.
5. Teacher is a facilitator.
6. The first language of a learner is an useful
aid.
Objectives of a Language Program based on Humanistic
Curriculum goals:

17. • Planning for communicative goals calls for adopting
a distinct point of view. Its means distinct
underlying attitudes toward Nature of language,
Nature of language learning and Educational
framework
• Communicative Competence essentially suggest
that teaching learners to form grammatically
correct sentences is not enough, learners also need
to be able to use language appropriately in variety
of contexts (Hymes 1972)
