The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between the theory and
practice of teaching language for communication. It is written
primarily for teachers who wish to adopt a communicative approach
and would like to reflect on the principles that underlie it.
It begins by discussing the theory of language which underpins
the communicative curriculum, viewing language as a structural
system whose main function is to enable communication to take
place. It goes on to present two apparently conflicting accounts of
language learning - as a form of skill learning and as a natural
process developing through exposure and use.
William Littlewood explores how these two forms of learning
might be integrated into one framework which can then form the
basis of a methodology for teaching communication skills. In the
final part of his book he draws up the framework of this classroom
methodology and concludes by considering what must permeate this
methodology if learners are to be fully involved in the learning
that goes on in the classroom.
