Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Communicative Approach To Learning

1264 Words6 Pages

Communicative competence is one of the vital abilities required for not only a successful career but also a happy life. Generally our Syllabi at the Schools don’t ensure that the students learn English in the proper order i.e. LRSW. Speaking is not given due importance in schools. So in spite of spending about fourteen years in learning English many students are reluctant to converse in English. Their main problem is that they are afraid of making mistakes and cutting a sorry figure in front of their peers.

II. MISTAKES ARE POSITIVE ATTEMPTS: This problem is addressed/solved by the Communicative approach because in this approach committing mistake is considered as an attempt to learn. This is a very positive approach to learning. If the teacher trains the class to be tolerant towards mistakes and to correct the mistakes of their less fortunate peers instead of jeering at them, even the diffident learners will blossom in the conducive ambience. 1
III. STRUCTURAL APPROACH:
Communicative approach is a learner centered approach. It overcomes the drawbacks of the structural approach. As M.L.

To prove his point of view, Beason does his experiment on fourteen business people reading articles about business and everyday handwriting and see how they react. Beason divides his examination into two phases: a survey with twenty mistakes and an interview with everyone. In the questionnaire, the author introduces five common academic errors and each of them consists four examples.

    Making mistakes, learning from them, and then using them may seem confusing, but in Daniel Dennett's first tool for thinking, “Using Your Mistakes”, is just the beginning of a good teaching. In paragraph 1 Mr. Dennette states that “The point of a mistake is to learn from it and not make it again”. For instance, if I was to help a friend out by giving them answers to a homework assignment, but got in trouble by my teacher and received a zero for the whole assignment. I would then know the mistake that was made and hopefully learn from my actions because of the consequence that had taken place. In addition to, paragraph 3 mentions that “ We tend to learn from and error”, which is later explained as biologically primary areas of knowledge.
