The communicative approach views language as a means of communication. Its goal is to develop students' communicative competence through providing opportunities to use English for meaningful purposes. This involves integrating the different language skills. Under this approach, the teacher's role is to facilitate communication between students through selecting appropriate activities and materials. Classroom activities focus on having students work together to complete meaningful tasks.
THIS IS A METHOD OF APPLIED LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS. IT HAS BOTH MANY ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. WE WORKED ON HARDLY WITH MY GROUP. HOPE IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR EVERYONE.
Among all the methods and approaches to language teaching there is one that may not have a strong basis on its Theory of Language but an excellent background on its Theory of Learning, the Natural Approach, based on the principles of the Theory of Language Acquisition proposed by Stephen Krashen.
For those ELT teachers who are carrying out reading classes at the level of primary school or teaching ELLs, I highly recommend you to peruse and take a look at this approach because it focuses on the teaching of language arts, which is the teaching reading and writing.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. The communicative approach is the
theory that language is
communication. Therefore the final
aim of CLT (Communicative
Language Teaching) is
communicative competence.
What is the communicative
approach?
3. Model of communicative competence
Grammatical competence:
knowledge of the language
code- syntax , lexis,
Sociolinguistic
competence:
[Pragmatic]
Strategic competence :
Verbal and non-verbal
communication strategies,
compensate for breakdown
in communication. Ability to
get one’s meaning across
successfully when problems
Sociocultural rules:
rules of using language
appropriately in a given
social situation,
concerned with style,
politeness register, etc
Discourse rules:
knowledge of combining
language structures to
produce unifies texts in
different modes: writing,
speaking

4. Learners learn through using it to communicate
Authentic and meaningful communication
should be the goal of classroom activities
Fluency is an important dimension of
communication
Communication involves the integration of
different language skills
Learning is a process of creative construction
and involves trial and error
The Principles of the Communicative
Approach:
5. Use Language as:
means of communication
object of learning
means of expressing values
Focus on communication rather than structure
Language learning within the school curriculum
Focus on meaningful tasks
Collaboration
CLT Objectives
7. The learner role as a negotiator, between himself, the
learning process, interaction with the group’s
activities and classroom procedures.
In other words, the learner should contribute as much
as he gains in the classroom, learning in an
interdependent way. (Richards J., C., Rodgers T.
S.(p.77).
Learner Role
8. The teacher has two main roles:
To facilitate the communication process in the classroom
To act as an independent participant within the learning-
teaching group
what is the teacher’s role in this?
9. It means that we need to concentrate on the
following:
Teacher – Student activities
Activities
Materials
In practical terms, what does that
mean?
10. Since communicative competence is our aim, it is
essential that students be given every opportunity to
practice communicating. In the communicative
classroom teacher talking time (TTT) must be kept to a
minimum. This is not to say that the teacher shouldn’t
speak at all, but TTT should be controlled and
appropriate.
The classroom should be learner centered.
The teacher’s role is to facilitate student
communication which is done through careful selection
of materials and activities relevant to the aims of the
lesson in which they are used.
Teacher-Student Interaction
12. Whichever of these skills is being taught the
main focus must be on the student and not on
the teacher. The interaction should usually be
the student to student and should include the
teacher only where necessary. During most
classroom activities the teacher will monitor
and intervene only where necessary.
13. A model for part of a communicative lesson
Stage 1 Teacher (T) gives a short presentation of a grammar or vocabulary
point. T then gives students (Ss) opportunity to practice the point in a controlled
exercise. (Interaction: T›Ss)
Stage 2 Ss carry out the controlled exercise while T monitors and intervenes
where appropriate. (Interaction: S‹›S)
Stage 3 The Ss are asked to take part in an activity designed to get them to
produce the vocabulary and grammar they have been taught. T monitors and
notes errors and interesting points. T intervenes only when asked or when
absolutely necessary. (Interaction: S‹›S)
Stage 4 Feedback session, in which T feeds back in a non-threatening way the
errors s/he noted during the activity. Ss also have the opportunity to clear up
puzzling points. (Interaction: T‹›Ss)
14. The lesson extract follows a method called
Presentation-Practice-Production or PPP for
short.
This was the standard method until a few years
ago. Now there are a number of possibilities open to
the teacher.
You will be introduced to these at a later stage.
15. Classroom activities should be carried out in the target
language (English).
Having said this, there may sometimes be occasions where
allowing the students to briefly discuss a point in their native
tongue can promote greater understanding and assimilation of
new information. This is controversial issue and should not
usually be permitted.
Activities
16. Materials are seen as a way of influencing the quality
of classroom interaction and language use.
They have promote communicative language use.
Some Instructional Materials are:
Visual cues
Taped cues
Pictures
The Role of Instructional Materials
17. There are many different types of activities. They provide
speaking, listening, writing and reading practice as well as
aiding production.
A few
ideas for activity types
Games Role-plays Simulations Information Gaps
18. They can be found in books containing supplementary
material.
Many teachers enjoy creating their own activities,
which can be tailored specifically to their classes needs.
Activities used in the classroom must be selected
carefully as if they are above the level of the students they
can destroy self-confidence and if below they can bore the
students.
Activities usually involve the students working
together either in pairs or in small groups.
Where do I find activities?
19. Activities are often used to
practice real-life situations
involving social interaction and
so a high level of social and
functional language should be
expected.
20. Materials fall into three broad categories:
text-based,
task-based
realia.
They can be used as the basis for classroom
activities. Once again not only must the activity be
appropriate to the level of the students but the materials
used must be appropriate too.
Materials
21. For example practice exercises,
reading passages, gap fills, recordings,
etc. can be found in almost any course
book as well as in books containing
supplementary materials. They form an
essential part of most lessons.
Text-based materials
22. These include game boards, role-play cards,
materials for drilling, pair work tasks, etc.
They might be used to support 'real life'
tasks such as role playing booking into a hotel,
or a job interview.
Task-based materials
23. This includes such things as magazines,
newspapers, fruit and vegetables, axes, maps - things
from the real world outside the classroom.
They can be used in many activities.
For example, fruit and vegetables could be used
in a shopping activity, an act could be used to show the
effect of using the present perfect continuous on a
short action verb.
Realia
24. We should now understand that the
teacher's job is to get their students to
communicate using real language by
providing them with instruction,
practice, and above all opportunities to
produce English in activities which
encourage acquisition and fluency.
what does the communicative
approach mean in practical terms?
25. CLT should be fun for both teacher and students.
Enabling students to communicate successfully
is also very rewarding.
