Correct Answer - Option 3 : All I, II, & III
Language teaching refers to a process whereby a child gains communicative comprehension or fluency over a language. It involves practice by learners where facilitation is provided by a teacher. There are several methods of English language teaching and the Communicative Language Teaching/Communicative Approach is one of them.
- The communicative approach is a method of language teaching which makes learners confident to communicate effectively by involving them in real communication.
- It highlights the importance of real communication for learning to take place rather than emphasizing writing skills and grammatical aspects of communication.
Features of Communicative Language Teaching:
- This method aims to strengthen fluency, not accuracy and promotes learners to encounter with real-life situations. It focuses on communication rather than grammatical structures and emphasizes the functional use of language in the real context.
- In this method, learners work in pairs or groups and enjoy available language resources in problem-solving tasks. The teacher structures the situation so that learners could solve that problem through whatever language they have at their disposal.
- Learners use language which is not only functionally effective but is also socially appropriate to the situation and context. It prepares the learners for meaningful and authentic communicative activity and lays emphasis on using language to communicate meaningfully in the target language.
Hence, it could be concluded that all I, II, & III classroom situations best describe Communicative Language Teaching.
