Sometimes as a student you have to take responsibility

. Choosing a language partner is often daunting and has nothing to do with his or her speaking skills. Even if you pay for lessons, you can never be sure. That a teacher has the right theoretical foundation for language teaching. With a little knowledge of language learning and your personal preference, you can make the most of your exchange.

Let’s take a look at the communicative approach.

Which is one of the most popular methods of language teaching and learning. Your teacher probably won’t even know it’s being use. Communicative Language Teaching or CLT in short is one of the most popular. But often poorly implemented approaches to language learning. It is based on the belief that students learn best when they engage in meaningful Communicative Language Teaching

Strong CLT:

Students learn by participating in communication assignments without the support of traditional teaching texts and practices. You may encounter this type of approach when you meet someone. You want to meet but who does not share a common language. You need to communicate to perform simple day-to-day activities so you can learn through trial and error.

Poor CLT:

Students learn through a variety of activities, texts, exercises, and homework, with an emphasis on speaking and listening. You will find this approach in a community language exchange environment. Where a community member is assign as a teacher and you as a learner. Such learning is often support by texts. But the level of the teacher varies greatly. And can have a significant impact on the extent of learning.

To get the most out of both situations

, you need to understand the differences. And learn to tailor the experience to your needs. If your teacher doesn’t know how to name or justify your style. You may need to step it up and organize for your own benefit or look for another teacher.
