1-The Communicative approach in FLT.1-The Communicative approach in FLT.

Education through communication is the essence of all intensive methods of learning a foreign language.

Serves to meet the challenges of "social interaction“. This approach creates a positive environment for the active and the free development of the individual. In general, these conditions are as follows:

1-Students have the opportunity to freely express their thoughts and feelings in the process of communication;2-Participants feel safe from criticism for mistakes and errors;3-Expression of personality is more important than the demonstration of language skills;4-Relationships are built on empathy and understanding feelings of others.

Communicative Method are

Speech based

Teach only through communication-interferring from the text-role-playing and problem-solving-game challenge

It is necessary to select a certain amount of knowledge to present the culture as a model.1-Conditionally-speech exercises-repetitive lexical items.2.Speech exc.(retelling texts,description of pictures,people,comment on events).Provide with speech provoking exc-es.

Situational

understood as a system of relationships.It serves as a motivation for the speech

activity.
