Hi Saud,
ReplyDeletei liked your summary of the approaches we had. I would like to emphasis on the communicate approaches which is my favorite one. I strongly suggest that you and our colleagues read more about CLT. its a really good method in teaching and in our country students will feel more interested in learning through such method because its not familiar to them as the tradition methods that we all have encountered.
Thanks a lot , it is very fruitful summary. simple and precise so the best approach to me is communicative approach.
