Some Misconceptions about Communicative Language Teaching.
Thompson, Geoff
ELT Journal, v50 n1 p9-15 Jan 1996
Presents four misconceptions surrounding communicative language teaching (CLT) and discusses the reasons for their existence. These misconceptions are: (1) CLT means not teaching grammar; (2) CLT means teaching only speaking; (3) CLT means pair work, which means role play; and (4) CLT means expecting too much from the teacher.
