COMMUNICATIVE METHOD – A NEW APPROACH IN THE PRACTICE OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE

The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of teaching foreign languages. Language teaching has been around for many centuries, and over the centuries it has changed. About 500 years ago, Latin was the world’s most widely studied foreign language . It was the dominant language of education, commerce, religion, and government in the Western world. Then French, Italian, and English replaced Latin due to political changes. [1] England in the 1500-1700 children went to “grammar schools” where they studied foreign language through memorization. This meant there was lots of grammar, memorization and translation and no real communication. This Article considers an overview of the development in Foreign Language Teaching for real communication rather than learning systems of grammar and vocabulary. Recently, most of teaching instructors are focuses more on the process of teaching, and understanding how to create lessons drawing on whatever you have been taught, whatever teaching context is and ever whatever you have come up with on your own as a basis for teaching practice. Consequently, now English is considered a global language and is taught as a main foreign language in different parts of the world.
