Introduction
With the development of science and technology, the world is becoming a global village and communication among countries is booming. English, as the most popular language in the world, is frequently used by world people for communication and plays an indispensible role in the development of a society. Therefore, more and more people realize the importance of learning English, especially, the importance of cultivating the speech competence of English.
Audio-lingual method as a frequently used traditional teaching method in oral English class is criticized as mechanical and boring. In order to solve this problem, CA (communicative approach) which emphasizes on learners’ communicative competence can meet this requirement. According to Longman Dictionary of Applied Linguistics, communicative approach is an approach to foreign or second language teaching, which stresses communicative competence as the goal of language teaching. CA aims to create a real-life context with the usage of authentic materials, and motivate English learners actively involve in the interaction and communication with others by the target language. Therefore, it is necessary to consolidate the basic linguistic knowledge, such as grammar, structure and pronunciation, which is an indispensible part of cultivating English learners’ speaking competence.
This paper intends to discuss about the possibility of combining the Audio-lingual methods and CA on the basis of previous studies.
Comparing Audio-lingual method with Communicative Approach
I. Audio-lingual method
Audio-lingual method and CA are two different kinds of teaching methods applied in oral English class, with respective emphasis, advantages and theoretical basis.
Audio-lingual method is the representative of traditional English teaching methods which focus on the linguistic competence rather than the communicative competence. Therefore, Audio-lingual method should not be totally abandoned and should be applied in oral English class with the combination of CA which emphasizes on developing English learners’ communicative competence and creating a not threatening classroom atmosphere.
One of the characteristics of Audio-lingual method is teacher-centered classroom atmosphere. Although the teacher-centered classroom atmosphere is criticized as lack of interest and motivation, and mechani, it still has significance on English learners, especially the freshmen in college to some extent. For the freshmen in college, they hen’t developed the ability of learning by themselves and they need more guidance about how to learn a language form their teachers.
