Hi everyone,
I am not a teacher, but I worked in language education about five years ago. I've gone back to my old job but I am finding it hard to keep up with the current pedagogical trends and theories.
I'm hoping that someone is willing to help me with a question I have:
The communicative approach has been around for some time.
Has anyone found any problems with it?
Other than the grammar-translation method, are there currently any other good alternative approaches to teaching ESL/EFL students?
Thank you very much for your help!
