It is apparent that Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is one of the common approaches worldwide. It has been advocated by a number of linguists, methodologists and English teachers as one of the effective and successful English language teaching approaches. This book focuses on this approach and its applicability in general and Kurdistan Region-Iraq in particular. This approach concentrates mainly on communicative competence rather than grammatical competence. Many teachers try to use this approach in their teaching but fail to apply it utterly. This book also explores and undertakes the difficulties that preclude teachers in implementing this approach with some suggestions to bar these difficulties.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a teaching approach which was first introduced in the late 1960s in the US and UK and shifted the focus of language teaching from language awareness to language use and function. CLT aims to make students communicatively competent in terms not only of linguistic, but also socio-linguistic and strategic competence. CLT is seen as one of the approaches which can help learners develop their skills, knowledge, and abilities for effective communication, resulting in its worldwide application in different contexts. However, from the outset, there was no clear agreement about its principles and techniques, and teachers faced problems in describing and applying it. Consequently, CLT has been broadly examined and investigated in different teaching contexts, especially EFL settings. However, there are only a few studies which explore the appropriacy and cultural components of this approach in international contexts. This study was therefore designed to explore upper-secondary school teacher and student attitudes and beliefs towards: (1) the implementation of CLT and their English classes and (2) the inclusion of cultural and intercultural aspects in the principles of CLT and as a result their English classes, with a focus on the development of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC), as determined by current foreign language teaching policy in many countries.

The purpose of this study was to describe how higher education language instructors design mobile-assted language learning environments for communicative language teaching. As our focus in second language acquisition has moved toward a communicative approach, the media richness and communication savvy of mobile devices can plan a vital role in this new communicative goal. Offering authentic content and dialogue opportunities, language instructors can take advantage of these devices leading language learners to achieve true fluency in another language. While the opportunity for communicative language teaching with MALL is viable, how to best design MALL environments for this purpose is still in its infancy. Answering questions regarding device type, application usage, theoretical foundations, and communicative task type and frequency will add to the richness of research for planning communicative MALL experiences. This study focused on two research questions. The first question explored how higher education language instructors design mobile assisted language learning environments. The second dealt with influences that ignite those decisions. Four higher education language instructors participated in this case study. Data consisted of semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and observations, and were analyzed using general qualitative analysis and the constant comparative method. Three themes emerged in the findings: (1) describing the communicative language learning environment enhanced by mobility, (2) meeting student, organizational, and instructional needs/goals, and (3) planning the implementation of MALL experiences for communicative language purposes. A discussion integrated these findings with interpretations in order to answer the research questions. The data suggested higher education language instructors identify goals, and create authentic learning experiences via communicative modes in order to achieve those goals. Further, the data suggested they have theoretical alignments with constructionism and situated learning, hold strong beliefs in CLT, and have beliefs aobut mobility that inform how they design communicative MALL environments. .

This book describes a study which examines perceptions of both students and teachers in Taiwan about secondary schools and different types of cram school. The reality for many Taiwanese students is that they experience, often for many years, a mixture of regular secondary and cram school input. Cram schools are known to vary widely in teaching style, but systematic studies on this type of school are rare. The present study looks "below the surface" of ELT in cram school and regular secondary level classes in Taiwan, in the wake of the recent educational reforms that have been introduced by the Taiwan authorities. The study focuses in particular on the changes in secondary English teaching, the implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), as well as teachers' understanding and describes and seeks to account for a reluctance to depart from traditional language teaching methods that have, elsewhere, been largely discredited.

This discussion is intended as a general introduction to communicative language teaching. The text is divided into six parts dealing with the reasons for communicative language teaching, the background to it, learning to communicate, classroom activities, the role of the teacher, and ways to get the method started. Part One examines the nature of communication, the need for learning forms and use, appropriate register, and interactive skills. The background section reviews methods of teaching languages, discusses the kind of teaching to be provided, and the principles on which communicative language teaching is based. The third chapter addresses the issues of meaning, form and content. The section on classroom activities outlines a variety of activities along with the part they play in a communicative approach. Chapter five defines the role of the teacher in the communicative situation as that of counselor or consultant. The final chapter suggests the need to explore the principles of communicative language teaching in a variety of classroom settings as well as the need for empirical research. (AMH)

As one of the most popular language teaching approaches established in ESL (English as a Second Language) countries, the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has encountered many challenges when introduced and implemented in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts, as demonstrated by a review of approximately 50 previous works pertaining to CLT and various facets of its application in EFL countries and in China's EFL contexts in particular. Questions have arisen concerning whether CLT should be enacted in China's EFL classrooms. Employing narrative inquiry, this dissertation investigates the English as a second language practices of four participants from China in the U.S., in the hope of shedding some light on whether China's English language teachers should enact CLT or not. Focusing on exploring and addressing the communicative difficulties encountered by the participants in the U.S., this narrative inquiry presents how inadequate command of English skills especially communicative competence affects the participants' academic learning and non-academic aspects of life. The lack of English communicative competence is identified as one of the biggest barriers preventing them from achieving a greater academic success and integrating into the American life. It is clearly shown that China's traditional English language teaching methods characterized by grammatical analysis, translation, and intensive reading contributes to anything but students' communicative competence. The participants' perceived need for communicative competence explicitly underlines a vital call for enacting the Communicative Language Teaching approach in China's EFL classrooms. While gaining valuable insights regarding how to improve China's English language teaching from the perspective of Chinese students in the U.S., this narrative inquiry provides important implications for the educational institutions in the host countries in an endeavor to help international students become more linguistically proficient as well as socio-culturally empowered. Although this research is conducted with Chinese participants targeted at China's contexts, it has the potential to transcend national boundaries and spark global concerns, as "it opens the door for researchers in other nations to begin to explore a similar phenomenon in their national contexts" (Clandinin & Hamilton, 2010, p. 1115).

This book helps language teachers to explore and become more aware of their own teaching beliefs, attitudes, and practices. It provides them with knowledge and guidelines that can empower them to make informed teaching decisions. Teacher educators will also find the text a practical book to use in preservice and inservice programs, courses, and workshops. The text discusses and illustrates activities teachers can use to gain awareness of teaching, including observation, action research, keeping journals, exploring with a supervisor, and connecting their personal and professional lives. It then gives examples of teachers who have used such activities to take a careful look at their own teaching practices. Tasks throughout the book give teachers experiential knowledge of the activities and ideas that characterize an exploratory approach to teaching awareness, which expands upon the usual training and development models of teacher education.

Winner of the BAAL Book Prize 2012 Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those entering postgraduate studies and language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative "practice to theory" approach, with a 'back-to-front' structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional features include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an annotated further reading section. Exploring English Language Teaching provides a single volume introduction to the field of ELT from an applied linguistics perspective. The book addresses four central themes within English language teaching: ‘Classroom interaction and management’; ‘Method, Postmethod and methodology’; ‘Learners’; and the ‘Institutional frameworks and social contexts’ of ELT. For each, the book identifies key dilemmas and practices, examines how teachers and other language teaching professionals might intervene and deal with these concerns, and explores how such issues link to and inform applied linguistic theory. Exploring English Language Teaching is an indispensable textbook for language teachers, and for post-graduate/graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Language Teacher Education, and ELT/TESOL.
