Professor Jack C. Richards - Communicative language teaching

[@HingYok]

Speaking from a student's perspective here: CLT is very beneficial for me personally when I was learning English and French. It also helps shy students to speak up. It also made the classes more fun because you get to listen to other people's stories and really use the language in class. The language then becomes meaningful because instead of studying it as a subject, you are actually using it to make communication happen. My favorite activity is sharing what you have done over the past few days - it kind of forces you to speak up and think in the language, and makes you think about or ask how to express yourself in it.

[@williamromano7692]

Excellent video. Dr. Richards cleary enunciate how students engage through CLT in class fostering speaking and listening skills.

He’s reading off a Teleprompter, you can see the reflection in his glasses. Also I wish it wasn’t so sleep 😴 inducing! He’s teaching us about communicative teaching, yet teaching us in a way that is very dry and hard to force your self to remember anything he’s said! I had to make notes about his video, so I wouldn’t immediately forget it all!

[@thomasmccormack4796]

You are supposed to take notes on difficult topics. He is describing communicative language teaching, not communicative pedagogy teaching.

[@colinnicholson90]

@@thomasmccormack4796 I was sharing my view, my personal opinion. If I taught my students just reading a pre-outlined lesson my students wouldn't learn as much, compared to when I speak in an way that's engaging, not reading a speech instead you help pull the students into the lesson. And they tend to learn much more. His information was concise and correct 100%. But the difference between it being read in a book and this video = no difference. A video format isn't meant in my opinion to be information read outloud. That's the purpose of Audio books. In my opinion I think 🤔 a video should be used because it's ability to capture the students attention in a kinesthetic learning style. But if the visual side isn't helpful 😕 😪. It can actually have a reverse effect. Causing the student to struggle to give the lesson thier full attention. But again this just my opinion that I've formed over the 5+ years of teaching students with a kinesthetic learning style. (Online English Classes)

[@benabouabdsamad1711]

He's a lecturer, not a teacher. He describes the CLT approach as excellent. Take notes.

[@mohamedherouini4651]

Brief and concise explanation of CLT. I really appreciated it.Thank you sir

[@TheRealSimeon]

Thank you, Professor! This video explained the work well.

[@jhanasandigan2912]

Please make more videos about Linguistics, Professor ☺️

[@saharalhumaid]

Well explained and very helpful, thank you professor 👍🏻

[@mostaphalajhar6934]

Thanks so much, professor.

[@jakehwr128]

Very simple and organized explanation. This video helped me a lot in my assignment :D

[@rosariochevarria1019]

i'm watching it for the same reason

[@moalemezaban9613]

Thank you professor, for your really informative video

[@5Gazto]

What about the patience approach? You sit there and wait for the students to talk meaninfully about a specific topic and help them complete their sentences, aiding them with written sentences they can later consult again, drawings, projector images, etc. For a beginner, a sentence might take 5 minutes to finish.

[@andresgiomedina2470]

Really well presented with enough examplification... thank you a lot.

[@Chapali9a]

Fantastic podcast. Thank you very much.

[@Ahmed.Hamza.Salman]

Hello doctor ... I'm a teacher of English from Iraq and the communicative approach is supposed to be followed in here but the thing is, the final exams are all written tests, and I think that get pupils to use this method in classroom will give them some ability in communicating orally but then I don't want them to fail in the written exams. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@SuperAvefenix2010]

Great video! Very informative!

Thank you sir. May I know what are the similarities between Communicative Language Teaching and Action-oriented Approach?

[@zahrademmane8610]

Thanks professor, very helpful

[@Иринакролики]

Thank you! Very informative!

[@aselkoch8373]

How a language must be taught to be a communicative language activity?

[@linaislam617]

Thank you professor

[@UTTAMSIR_]

Excellent explained

[@moisesdasilva1802]

Interesting enough but I wonder why, there is never any mention of when the webinar was produced in case we should report its source.

[@saminanoureen1027]

Most useful

[@sr.miriamzimba2476]

Well presented.

[@user-kb8rf3ct3o]

Please can you help me I have researching about teaching Methods, the question is. Many language teaching theorists advocate the concept of “Teaching Methods,” while others criticize it. Discuss this concept in depth.

[@millymcbug]

I'm currently taking a course called "Teaching Methods" (my second time taking a methods course for education) and it basically discusses various types of teaching styles. Specifically for languages, there are various ways to teach a language: Do you focus on grammar, or communication? Do you teach via drills, or through role-playing? Depending on the course's instructor, these methods classes can be similar to browsing through pinterest and finding what methods you like, or as structured as learning each style and discussing the pros/cons of each. All of these involve lesson plan creation on the students' part. hopefully this answer helped a lil bit.

[@rickivanov]

I have to sit an exam on CLT and I am really confused. It's only theory and it's hard for me to remember it all. Could someone give actual examples of this, please? I am expected to write in detail about the principles of CLT. Thank you!

[@elSrBest]

To what extent to those in the fields of SLA and language education agree with Bill VanPatten's stances on explicit teaching and knowledge - that they don't benefit acquisition (learners' implicit mental representation of language) and that explicit knowledge can't become implicit knowledge? If instruction doesn't change the gradual, ordered, stagelike, piecemeal, U-shaped nature of acquisition, then does it make any sense to teach or assess grammar at all, even "in context?"

[@kourasiathanasia230]

super!!!!!!!

[@rachidjubail]

very informative definition of CLT.Clear and succinct.

His books contain the same information that he provides here. Richards, J. C., & Rodgers, T. S. (2014). Approaches and methods in language teaching. Cambridge university press.

[@priyankagoswami9937]

very nice

[@riyameena1368]

Sir I am from India I want to know: Where did the development of communicative approach come from. please do reply

[@DanielAnchundiaH]

funny glasses

[@TheRealSimeon]

I couldn't stop staring at them! I don't think they look bad at all. They just grab your attention!

[@alihazim498]

Thank you so much

[@relatordefutbol87]

wasnt necessary to say he is a teacher. because he looks like, his eyes are completely sweet.

[@dannyramirez3605]

The information is excellent but the way he presented it is extremely boring!

[@esubalewtube3112]

tanks a lot

[@sasa3766]

He was reading from a screen.

[@ayalewyimer5003]

Very nice presentation.But, is 'Communicative language teaching (CLT)' really practical?

[@antoninozunino7570]

I think you ought to use it as one of many different approaches on the field.

[@teachingwithdmitriyfedorov2770]

It's very practical when it comes to (a) putting ss in groups, (b) presenting a topic of your lesson, and (c) helping ss notice their inaccuracies (error correction at the end of a lesson), but you need to use it in combination with Lexical Approach, meaning you need to draw your ss' attention to the words which are imprisoned between the pages of a book. In this case, CLT is useless as it provides very few pieces of advice how to deal with vocabulary that are not related to the current topic of a lesson.

[@rickivanov]

@@antoninozunino7570 it's really hard to determine how to use this in practice. This is probably needed for authors of Student's Books but not for teacher. I am completely confused.

[@sofu7345]

I liked the video, but he didn't sound natural while speaking. Instead of reading, he could explain it with his own words and use body language or his gestures. By that way, the video would be more understandable.

[@maymayyyy]

for me CLT was a game changer, specially because I have ADHD 🤡😌🤌🏻
