What plays an important role in language teaching and learning is Communicative competence. This paper tries to explore the children’s acquisition of communicative competence and yet with the spread and development of English around the world and its increased use in Iran, research about improved methods to develop university students’ English level has become of great importance.This paper also dissects the inevitability and viability of developing students’ communicative competence in University English Teaching (UET) and also debates the advantages and challenges of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) for UET. A questionnaire is used to determine students’ understanding of the term communicative competence.

Scientific Approach

2013 Curriculum now has been implemented so widely in Indonesia, especially in English teaching and learning process. It delineates some focal points like student-centred active learning and contextual teaching which hopefully brings the students to learn more effectively. Furthermore, there is an apparent unanimity that the curriculum may lead the meaningfulness of learning. In relation to English teaching approach, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is likened to the latest curriculum. CLT emphasises on the context and authenticity. Thus, this approach should go along with 2013 Curriculum. This study aims at finding out the implementation of CLT in line with the curriculum, since many previous studies alert some problems happening while CLT is applied not in ESL as its birthplace, yet in EFL context. In fact, Indonesia perceives English as foreign language. But, there are still few studies related to this approach. After observation and document tracking are conducted, it is concluded that Scientific Approach and Communicative Language Teaching Approach are able to blend to create more effective communicative learning.

Language Teaching And Learning

AbstractRepetition is common in language use. Similarly, having students repeat is a common practice in language teaching. After surveying some of the better known contributions of repetition to language learning, I propose an innovative role for repetition from the perspective of complexity theory. I argue that we should not think of repetition as exact replication, but rather we should think of it as iteration that generates variation. Thus, what results from iteration is a mutable state. Iteration is one way that we create options in how to make meaning, position ourselves in the world as we want, understand the differences which we encounter in others, and adapt to a changing context.

This paper examines communicative language teaching (CLT) and its significance in terms of language teaching and learning. The actual purpose of the paper is to explore the causes of failure of CLT in Pakistan and other developing countries in order to suggest the ways to make it successfully effective in the context. It is found that contextual problems such as overuse of traditional methods of teaching such as lecturing and large classes always come into clash with the use of CLT in the developing countries such as Pakistan because CLT is in fact a method developed and used in the developed countries where the contextual issues found in the educational institutes are rare as compared to developing countries.

A sentence is an important unit in English language, and plays a crucial role in language teaching and learning as well. For many years, sentence teaching is always worth discussion in English teaching, because sentence imitation is very important for students’ construction of logical discourse. This paper, based on memetics, proposes some certain optimization strategies of sentence imitation in primary school English teaching from the perspective of strong memes, and points out that efficient sentence imitation is of great importance in primary school English teaching.

Surprisingly little has been written on the role of materials and the uses that teachers may make of them. General books in this area include Madsen and Bowen (1978), Cunningswoth (1984), and Sheldon (in press). The only references which particularly consider communicative langauge teaching are Grewer, Moston, and Sexton (1981), which incorprates a theoretically motivated taxonomy as well as much practical discussion, and apattison (1987), which is a practical handbook with materials in English, French, and German.

Technologies have swept the world in every aspect of life including the education system. And therefore, the purpose of this research is to find the Challenges Encountered in implementing technologies in Language Teaching and Learning in Indonesia. This study was a quantitative method in nature. The participants of the study were randomly chosen 30 teachers from Bandung in the rural area. The data were collected by using questionnaires and were analyzed by using mix method that is quantitative and qualitative procedures. The result showed that using technology in the classroom was helpful. In addition to that, more tools and facilities provided by schools are increasingly helping them improve their ability to use technology. Though the school has prepared facilities there were several challenges found in the implementation of technologies in the Language Learning classrooms. Additional results of this study give meaningful insights for policymakers in relation to the implementation of ICT for teaching and learning in the classroom.

A great deal of research has been conducted regarding Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, including in Afghanistan. However, the real status of CLT employed in Afghan context is vague due to the lack of sufficient studies. The aim of this paper is to present a review on CLT in various EFL contexts in general and on the perceptions and challenges in the implementation of CLT in Afghanistan for the purpose of identifying gap for a subsequent investigation of CLT in the country. The results show that there are still many areas that need to be examined in the Afghan EFL setting to improve the quality of English teaching and learning in Afghan universities.

Language Teaching And Learning

Language teaching and learning has many different cultural dimensions, and over the years more and more of these have been the subject of research. The first dimension to be explored was that of content: the images of target language countries and the world that were offered in textbooks and presented in class. The next dimension was that of the learner: the (inter)cultural learning, competence and identity of the learner or subject. The next dimension was context: the situation and role of language teaching and learning in society and in the world.

<p>The purposes underlying this study are (1) to describe an English textbook entitled “Passport to the World 1” in general; (2) to analyze the quality of the English textbook in developing communicative tasks and types of communicative materials. This research used a descriptive method. The data source of this research is the textbook for seventh grade of Junior High School, published in 2009 by PT Tiga Serangkai Pustaka Mandiri. In collecting data, this study takes four of ten units in the textbook randomly. The study uses theory of Cunningsworth (1995) to analyze the textbook in general and Communicative Language Teaching principles to analyze the tasks and material of the textbook. The result of the study shows that (1) the description of the textbook in general is fairly good (62.5 %); (2) the quality of communicative tasks is good (68.7%), and the quality of types of material in CLT is very good (75.03%). The textbook has all criteria of communicative tasks and materials, but each unit of the the textbook is still not complete. It means that the textbook is appropriate to be used and it  will be better if the teacher also completes each unit which is not appropriate communicative criteria by using other sources in order to develop students’ communicative competence.</p>
