...Communicative approaches in favour of second language acquisition INTRODUCTION For ages, researchers have been developing their own methods, techniques and approaches in the field of learning English as a Second Language. Due to the fact that in the last decades communicative competence has emerged as a main goal; several theories have appeared. They have communication as an aim and are mainly learner centered. AIM The aim of this essay is to look at the concepts of communicative language teaching and task based language teaching. How are these concepts discussed by pedagogical researchers? Furthermore, the dissertation will analyze how communicative approaches are used in the example given where a chart is presented for the students to complete it, and later to serve as a basis for lively questions and discussions according to their level.

...COLLABORATIVE SUMMARY ON SLA GROUP 4 2013-10 1) What is the comic about? This is the story of a man who travels to a foreign country, probably in the Middle East. He does not know neither its language nor its culture. When he gets off the train he finds an elderly man who removes his hat and says an expression in his native language. At first, the traveler does not correspond to the gesture and assumes it is a greeting. As he is heading to his hotel he runs into people along the way who repeat the same expression and he always answers back with a friendly smile and a very gentle gesture with his hat. Eventually, he arrives at the hotel and sees the receptionist is very upset because he has just hurt his finger. To his surprise, the man in pain is expressing his discomfort by using the same words the traveler had assumed to be polite. 2) What is the connection between the story, negotiation of meanings and communicative competence? The main connection between these aspects is the fact that the story depicts the perfect example of what happens when there is no communicative competence, misinterpretation of intercultural context meanings and lack of negotiation. The connection among these three issues is pivotal on the one hand to consider as stated by Safriyani, R. (2009) “communicative competence is the ability to interact well with others. Communication takes place in an infinite variety of situations, and success in a particular role depends on one’s...
