Teaching Communicative Strategies in the Classroom

Sunday, December 14th, 2003, 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM

Speaker: Ron Murphy, Ehime University

Communicative Language Teaching theory holds that negotiating meaning is a key element in learning a foreign language. However, the ability to negotiate meaning is dependent upon one's ability to use communicative strategies effectively. Communicative strategies are strategies employed when people encounter a communication problem during conversation. This presentation will review what communicative strategies are, and the function they serve in achieving meaning.
