The effects of practicing communicative approach in the teaching of speaking among esl teacher trainees

Abstract

English language communication is crucial to develop the community’s interest in learning English as a second language especially in achieving the target of Vision 2020 of being fully developed country based on our own moulding and in producing quality human capital as the main manpower. Thus, various methods and approaches have been implemented to teach the language effectively. One of the approaches is Communicative Approach which is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language. The aim of communicative approach is communicative competence.
