great information. is there a difference between communicative approach and communicative language teaching? or are they same? I am taking Ma in TESOL and the teacher ask me to report on “creating a communicative lesson plan” I wonder how to begin. what comes to my mind is the steps or the guidelines in making a communicative lesson plan. i need your help.

I’ve taught in Thailand and Taiwan and I concur! The communicative approach is most effective. After all, this is exactly how we learned our first language. Great article!

Are there any disadvantages? I have a masters of English, and currently doing TESOL in Australia.. I am thinking of the negatives for such an approach?

Any idea?

I'm an english teacher from iraq , it is the best method I'v ever tried
by other methods of teaching english as a foreign language students get high marks like 99/100 but they can't even make an english sentence in real life, in communicative approach students are able to ask and answer in english.
my point of view it is the best method although its negativism.

I want to know that the part of basic principles for teachers and learners is written by you? If it isn’t, then who writes it. Thanks!
