Communicative Approach

Communicative Approach is one of the important approaches to help learners to communicate with each other to learn English as a Second Language (ESL) easily more than the others approaches.

The positive results of this method are by helping learners to be able to contact with others in order to talk fluency and to express about  themselves confidently and to present many  social issues in their inviorment as quick as possible.

Obviously , the age and the level of the learners are two important issues to practice this method , but the basic aim of this method is how to can make learners speak.

Therefore, sometimes difficult to encourage learners in class to speak.

Thanks to all.

Don't forget that communication isn't always spoken.

I would say, "The basic aim of The Communicative Approach is to help learners to interact."  (as opposed to 'speak').

Dear Heath

I am so glad to contact with you to thank you for your comment and to say yes, communicative approach isn't always spoken , but you know that historically spoken language is previous writing language , and we have to encourage students to speak even they can write good passades to cope their shying when they learn English as a Second Language.

Best Regards.
