A.Definition of Natural Approach :

Natural Approach is a language teaching method which is based on the assumption that learning a foreign language must follow the same patterns as the learning process of the native language and also emphasize the necessity of exposing the learner to hearing and understanding the language before requiring the learner to speak

Skills

The skills are taught in the Natural Approach order of acquisition :

Natural Approach in the Classroom

In the classroom, students listen to the teacher communicating in the target languange (English) from very beginning stage.

The teacher speaks only the target languange and class time is committed to providing input for acquisition (focuss on material)

Students are rarely corrected when they orally express themselves because the meaning is more important than the form.

The important thing is there’s no Grammar agenda as such : the learners perform the tasks to the best of their ability

There exist three generic stages identified in this

approach :1.Preproduction : the stage at which listening

skills are being developed.2.Early Production : the stage during which

students are challenged to use the language orally and are corrected only when the mistakes hinder the content of the message.

3.Extending Production : the stage at which students develop their fluency through various activities

B. Definition Of Communicative Approach

The Communicative Approach, also known as communicative language teaching (CLT), emphasizes interaction and problem solving as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning English - or any languange. As such, it tends to emphasise activities such as role play, pair work and group work.

Communicative Approach in The Class

It’s emphasis on the learning of spesific Grammatical rules and more obtaining native-speaker, like fluency and pronounciation

The Communicative Approach initially prioritizes communicative competence over accurate grammar.

Let your students communicate first, build on their accuracy after

Advantages of Communicative Approach

Students become flexible Allow the learners to practise speaking

frequently Implementing of exercise can be fun and

meaningful for students Students can do games, role play, and

problem-solving tasks It can express student’s ideas and opinion

The disadvantages of Communicative Approach

Open-minded of teachers/ instructors are required to teaching the target languange

It’s not quitetext oriented Students are allowed to make mistakes but they

need to be corrected Students have no list, so parent is not aware of the

assigment to be practiced at home
