Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Sonstiges, Note: 3, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In present study researcher has chosen Lewis Carroll's "You are old, Father William" to teach language for communicative purposes. In the history of language teaching, certain methods such as Audio-lingual, Grammar Translation, Suggestopedia and Total Physical Response have come into view. All these methods have been widely and extensively discussed and evaluated by researchers and scholars. Each of them has their own focus, weak points as well as strong points and they are based on a theory. In other words, methods are developed based on theories such as behaviourism, structuralism, constructivism and universal grammar. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is no exception with this regard. Now a day, the CLT method, which is originated in Britain, is widely used in English as Second Language (ESL) classrooms around the world. CLT is recognized as powerful theoretical model in ELT by many linguists and language teachers as a useful approach to language teaching.
