Extract

Most current foreign language teachers and those about to enter this profession have themselves learned the foreign language by structural methods. The curricula under which they studied are not likely to be exchanged for communicative curricula, as such decisions are not made at the classroom level. Because of these conditions, my paper will concentrate on pragmatic problems of a communicative methodology – problems that arise in attempting to answer the question: does the functional-notional approach, without being either a curriculum or a method, and while operating under the constraints of the present school system, help develop a framework and a set of principles that will help teachers make foreign language learning more communicative than it is at the moment?
