Proximity to the cognition process of thinking means that people in the room would get you the content you need for the next words. It is a red mark correcting people. It is also an enlightenment on how people created grammar in the 1970s.

Some highlights for me: At 39:45 Jeremy quotes Michael Swan as saying "The danger of the communicative approach is we spend too much time doing and not enough time learning." In rebuffing this, Scott refers to strong versions of the theory (using the language to learn it) and Krashen's influence on him. At 53:25 Scott quotes Swan from the same paper as saying "The best information gap is that which already exists between students in the classroom." in discussing how to overcome the challenges of TBL,

Re: "The danger of the communicative approach is we spend too much time doing and not enough time learning." The bias here is that conscious study or what I've called 'cognitive hand-holding' IS learning. We think we know what learning is and can induce it when in fact we're only beginning to understand it. Cognitive science has long since shown that conscious attention may in fact, impede learning. Are you familiar with Stephen Krashen's Comprehensible Input Hypothesis or what he's written about the benefits of (un-structured) Free Voluntary Reading?

Scott talks about the academics working on the communicative approach (CA) in the early days. One e.g. was K Johnson who has keynote talk on the TESOLacademic site Jeremy talks about going to any teacher in Thailand and asking what the CA is about. I did some research on this with a Thai colleagues - see Jarvis, H. and Atsilarat, S. (2004). ‘Shifting paradigms: from a communicative to a context-based approach.’ Asian EFL Journal. Vol.6, No.4. (fee from the website)

Getting past all the difficulty Scott had in just saying that he and others think Krashen's theory is the reason why the 'methodology' in language learning has been lost, I do think he made a good case for the old school method of browbeating students into thinking that learning the nuances of grammar was necessary at the beginning, middle and end of language learning. Babies can learn more than one language without having a clue about the finer details of learning a language. The finer details come into play eventually. I do think most would want to learn a language for practical reasons like being able to talk to native speakers of the country they have migrated to or where they intend to travel to. If the success rates for language learners came about after a change in methodology, then surely it is a win-win for everyone.

(2013). ‘From computer assisted language learning (CALL) to mobile assisted language use.’ TESL-EJ. Vol. 16. No. 4. pp. 1-18. Available free (not fee) from the journal homepage.

A person can't speak if he/she doesn't understand the syntax of the target language. It is important to get solid grammar basis and then put it slowly into practice. Students must look for opportunities to practice speaking. They can't learn to speak in the classroom. They have to be realistic and understand how languages are learnt.

Shall we question this communicative approach promoted by scholars and academics since you all say that everyone claims to be a communicative teacher, but in actual fact what people do is formal instruction, grammar, drillings and so on. What is this force that drives teachers, educational authorities textbook writers, and syllabus designers to play on this familiar and fairly save ground than to plunge into this crazy natural talk in the classroom? Maybe reality lies somewhere here; rather than criticizing teachers and adopting a paternalistic and prescriptive methodology, we should look at why teachers and others dont abide to this approach. Is in it the reality of the classroom?

I wonder if these two speak fluently any language except English. From the way the speak about it, I draw a sad conclusion that they don't. It seems they've completely forgotten that the success in learning a language depends on learner's motivation much more that on any approach to teaching. In other words, you study the language in the classroom, but you will learn it outside it.

communicative is an umbrella term that covers many different teaching methods that do the opposite of what most language teachers do from here to Europe to Asia--TEACH LANGUAGE AS GRAMMAR RULES ! There could be nothing more BORING and FATAL to developing oral fluency ! Why language teaching is based on nothing other than what was done and has been done and always been done and IT DOESNT WORK ! Grammar -Translation is to learn the LITERATURE of another language and culture; building fluency in L2 means meaningful input + 1 . . focus the learning on MEANING and responding accordingly and not stopping to think of stupid grammar rules. Also depends on ones learning style, but to stop and try to remember or fit an utterance into some RULE stifles natural communication ! As one doesnt read the dictionary like a novel; one uses grammar rules are a REFERENCE ONLY ! Speak from day 1 and speak nothing but the L2.

Easily said than done. In monolingual classes, especially with teenagers, it's very difficult to make them speak for many reasons - some are shy, some are afraid of mistakes, and some don't care. They do not want to participate and that's all. Most of the times they switch to their mother tongue as it is easier for them to communicate. I disagree that grammar rules are stupid. Not all of us a privileged to study English in an English-speaking country by a native speaker. So we need to figure out how the language works and we use grammar books.
