The Application Of Communicative Approaches In Non-state Run Schools ESL Teaching

Teacher-centered　approach　in　English　Language　Teaching　is　not　adapted　to　the　requirement　of　quality-oriented　education.　With　the　strength　of　relationship　between　China　and　the　world,　functions　of　English　communication　become　the　main　purpose　of　English　teaching.　English　teaching　of　non-state　run　schools　pay　attention　to　examination.　So,　most　of　English　teachers　neglect　to　develop　the　communicative　competence　of　students.　Students　cannot　communicate　correctly　in　class.　　　　　　　Communicative　approaches　are　not　single　and　fixed　patterns.　The　role　of　communicative　approaches　are　"using　languages　to　learn"　and　"learning　to　use　languages"　rather　than　"learning　languages"　let　alone　"learning　knowledge　about　languages".　The　purpose　of　communicative　approaches　is　to　let　students　attain　communicative　competence.　In　class,　students　study　English　in　communicative　environment.　They　can　acquire　English　language　and　communicative　competence　by　listening,　writing,　reading　and　speaking.　　　　　　　This　paper　firstly　analyses　the　theories　of　communicative　approaches,　point　out　the　roles　of　teachers　and　learners　in　learned-directed　activities,　put　forward　the　functional　communication　and　social　interaction　activities.　In　student-student　interaction,　teachers　and　students　can　interact;　students　can　take　part　in　communication.　In　the　post-questionnaire,　85%of　the　students　are　for　communicative　approaches.　Communicative　approaches　need　students　to　participant　and　stress　fluent　languages　to　communication.
