Factors
that Influence in the Proper Use of Communicative Approach in English Language -Teaching
The former English curriculum was based
on oral structural situational approach, but this approach was not so effective
to teach English language teaching therefore, many students hadn't passed
S.L.C. in English. But the communicative approach was highlighted in new
curriculum of secondary level, the students are more motivated and pass-
percentage is also in increasing order. All this comparative study between oral
structural and communicative approach had been done by the researcher and came
to conclusion that communicative approach is suitable approach than former one,
but still, it has not been used properly. The present need is to find out the
factors that influence in proper use communicative approaches. The factors are
given below
Over-Crowd Pupils. The teacher and
student ratio is seen greater than average ratio. It is a serious factor in the
use of communicative approach because the teacher does not get sufficient time
to involve in communicative process. Instead of doing so, the teacher is always
busy to control the students. It is very difficult to proceed ahead in their
teaching\learning activities. So due to the over-crowded pupils, the teacher
hasn't got time to use communicative approach properly.
Student Background. The basic
standard in English of primary and lower- secondary level is very poor. So even
in secondary level, the students do not know English language. The teacher face
many difficulties to teach them. Instead of giving textual meaning by using
communicative approach, the teacher has to lose the time in translating in
mother - tongue. That's why, the poor base standard of students is an obstacle
to use communicative teaching.
Teaching Aids
To
teach this new curriculum of secondary level in English subject, it has
assigned teaching aids like cassette, audio-visual aids, newspaper and
reference books. But all these teaching aids are not available in school. This
also causes difficulty.
English teachers English teachers themselves are the major factors that influence in the use
of communicative approach. They are not aware of modern methodologies has
implemented, they do not get a training. To use the communicative approach
properly, the teachers must be trained, qualified and experienced.
Headmaster Some of the headmasters are still untrained. As
they do not understand the problems and solve the problems of the English
teacher. They always want to impose them heavy load and do not
buy the teaching aids. So, the headmaster should arrange conductive environment
to English teachers for teaching English.
