Communicative teaching…. combined a learning theory based on ideas of habit-formation, and practice with a view of language as patterns and structures; it chiefly made students repeat sentences recorded on tape and practice structures in repetitive drills. Originating in the USA in the 1940s, its peak of popularity was probably the 1960s, though it was not much used in British-influenced EFL. was the name for any method that relies on the second language throughout. I.e. it can be applied to almost all the language teaching methods recommended since the 1880s. is a teaching method in which pairs of students alternately teach each other their languages ‘language of the day’, to teach each other their own language. based language teaching on the functions that the second language had for the student and on the meanings they wanted to express, leading to teaching exercises that made the students communicate with each other in various ways. From the mid-1970s onwards this became the most influential way of teaching around the globe, not just for English.

Which of the following precedes the others in the sequence of learning?. beginning – ‘On Tuesday I went to London’; they use wh-words at the beginning with no inversion – ‘Who lives in Camden?’; and they move auxiliaries to get yes/no questions – ‘Will you be there?’ Typical sentences at this stage are ‘Yesterday I sick’ and ‘Beer I like’, in both of which the initial element has been moved from later in the sentence. Next come question-word questions such as ‘Where is he going to be?’; the third person grammatical morpheme ‘-s’, ‘He likes’; and the dative with ‘to’, ‘He gave his name to the receptionist’. At this stage the learners are starting to work within the structure of the sentence, not just using the beginning or the end as locations to move elements to. Another new feature is the third person ‘-s’ ending of verbs, ‘He smokes’. At the next stage, learners discover how the preposition can be separated from its phrase in English – ‘the patient he looked after’ rather than ‘the patient after which he looked’ – a phenomenon technically known as preposition-stranding, which is the antithesis of the prescriptive grammar rule. They also start to use the ‘-ing’ ending – ‘I’m reading a good book’. Next learners acquire the typical word order of the language. In both English and German this is the subject verb object (SVO) order – ‘John likes beer’, ‘Hans liebt Bier’. This is the only word order that the learners know; they do not have any alternative word orders based on movement such as questions. So they put negatives in the front of the sentence as in ‘No me live here’ and make questions with rising intonation such as ‘You like me?’, both of which maintain the basic word order of English without needing movement. In the next stages the learners discover how to move elements about, in particular to the beginnings and ends of the sentence.
