7、e Lecturer1 IntroductionWith the globalization in 21st century, the application of English becomes a universal language. It is necessary for us to use English now and then. English is a required course in middle schools. So it is necessary for a English teacher to take effective teaching approach in

8、 English teaching. But the traditional English teaching approach in China is guided by the examination，emphasizes on students vocabulary and grammar learning and hence ignores training students communicative ability. But it is important and useful for students to communicate in English. The conflict

9、 between teaching approach and teaching results requires middle school teachers to find an effective teaching approach to train students communicative ability, and solve the problem between teaching and application.Communicative approach emphasizes on communication，so it can improve students communi

10、cative ability obviously.Communicative approach has appeared since 1950，and it has been widely accepted and achieved a lot，such as improving the listening ability, communicating ability and reading ability. This article analyzes the advantages of communicative approach and the application in English

11、 teaching of middle schools. Communicative Approach requires that teacher should take real language and real scene to teach, and advocates that students should use language every now and then. Based on this, we can know that the application of communicative approach can improve students communicativ

12、e ability, can meet the demand of nowadays society, and can create excellent communicative ability.2 Communicative Approach2.1 The definitionCommunicative approach recommends the theory of teaching in accordance with the principle that the students and teachers should frankly communicate with others

13、 using the target language. It is a good way to teach foreign or second language which focuses that the goal of language learning is communicative ability. Teaching materials in Communicative approach often teach the language by expressing and understanding different kinds of functions. The approach

14、 goes after a National syllabus and focuses the processes of communication to collect information, and apply language for social interaction with others. So as to answer what is communicative approach, we may identify it at the following three aspects. 2.2 Four Skills Four broad fields of skill can

15、sum up a persons communicative competence. (Littlewood ,1981)(1)The learner must achieve a high degree as a linguistic competence. (2)The learner must make a distinction between the forms that he has known well a section of his linguistic competence and the communicative functions that they act. (3)

16、The learner must improve skills and strategies for using language to communicate representing effectively in specific situations. (4)The learner must get on to the social meaning of language styles. If we could reach those four skills, we could make better use of communicative competence.2.3 Two Ver

17、sionsThere are two versions of communicative approach, one is the weak version of communicative approach, and the other is the strong version. (1)The weak version: It stresses the importance of providing learners with opportunities in using English for communicative goals and typically attempting to

18、 integrate such activities into a broad program of language teaching. One learns to use English in the weak version. In terms of what has been described, we get the fact that one learns English for using. In other words, only one can learn English well firstly, can he have the ability to communicate

19、 with other people. Anyway, this description divides the English learning from approach. Most Chinese junior English teachers acclimatize themselves to weak version of communicative approach. A great number of teachers in teaching procedure still use the traditional teaching method in class, and the

20、y only focus on language structure language. The specialist believes that one should use English to learn it, which should be received in middle school English teaching. (Stern,1999)(2) The strong version: It comes up with the claims that language is acquired through communication. Students dont nee

21、d to pay too much attention to English learning; and they could learn the grammatical principals in communicating. Students use English to learn it within this version. 2.4 Two principles Among a great deal principles of communicative approach, there are two kinds of principles, which are more signi

22、ficant in Chinas English teaching.(1)Create more realistic situation The current teaching methods dont focus on the real world situations and fail to train students spontaneity. More actual situation is required in using communicative approach. The students can have the opportunity to use and to pra

23、ctice the sort of language, particularly the vocabulary related to that situation by putting them in actual situation. Therefore, learners are rehearsed for real life. Moreover, whatever the situation it is, they can express what they want to say. By creating the actual situation the teacher affords

24、 the best conditions for learning. Autonomous kind of communicative interaction required for acting a duty with the context of situation relevant to the real world. Artificial conventions and handmade question-and-answer sequences are short of the flexible. This kind of classroom teaching isnt based

25、 on their realistic needs and urges learners to talk about things that are not of their own choice. On the contrary, they are supplied a strict set of guided structures in isolation. When they are confronted with the read to produce the language in connection with a specific situation，the learners r

26、egular fail for taught in this way.(2)The class should be students-centered Communicative approach requires the focus of classroom be shifted from the teacher to students，which is students-centered. Communicative approach requires the classroom instructor to act as an assistant role, trying to keep

27、stress on the students not on him and encouraging students to communicate among themselves. In general，the rule is makes learners to be themselves. The teacher is asked for “lead from behind”. For example, if possible, teachers should act more as adviser and participate in the interactions. The stud

28、ents-centered principle fixes the role and relationship between the teacher and students. In other words, the students are the lead role in communication, and the teacher helps the students with communicating. The teacher can act as several roles in the class: he manages the class activities, devise

29、s the situation of communication, and also he act as an adviserguiding and solving the matters in communication. Meanwhile，the teacher should be a cooperator of communication-he participates in the students communication. Certainly, the students should put themselves into communication energetically

30、. By communication they can learn the target language，and improve their listening and speaking ability. 2.5 The Necessity of Learning Communicative ApproachMei said, language was a tool of communication, was also the carrier of culture, and the goal of English teaching was to train the students and

31、made them have abilities to use language in real context (Mei, 2004). That is the collective consciousness in the kingdom of English teaching all over the world. The new version English teaching Materials request English teachers to use communicative approach in class, and give their attention to th

32、e communicative function of English teaching. Communicative approach stresses that English teaching should use a lot of communicative activities, make students practice listening and speaking firstly, then drill reading and writing. A great number of English teachers go along with this teaching appr

33、oach.Communicative approach is beneficial for students to communicate with each other in real conditions ，and focuses on communicative ability. Therefore，we should change the Chinese traditional English teaching approach and use communicative approach in middle schools. Many places in China have Eng

34、lish course from primary schools, and the students take six years English study in middle schools. In the condition of economic globalization, someone even says that English teaching should be started from childhood. The duty of English teaching in primary schools is chiefly about cultivating the in

35、teresting of study. It focuses on use daily language, and doesnt care for the foreign language structure and language system. The study period in middle schools is students fundamental and developing period of English learning, and their study period in high schools is the boost period of English le

36、arning. They have two goals of English teaching in middle schools. Firstly, English teaching in this period acquires the students have knowledge and some ability in using English. Secondly, it makes the students be ready for the further English study in high schools and colleges. 3 Advantages of Eng

37、lish Teaching in Middle SchoolsThere are a lot of advantages of English teaching in middle schools. If we want to study the communicative approach well, we had better know the middle school students very well.3.1 At AgeDifferent students in different age stages have different advantages for in Engli

38、sh teaching. Middle school students are most from 11-17 years old, and have obvious advantages in English learning. Firstly, their cognitive abilities have been arrived at a higher level. Then, their abilities of imitation and their abilities of remembrance are strong. Thirdly, they can use more lan

39、guage communicative strategies than children can use. Middle school student will benefit from these advantages in learning English.3.2 In IdeationThe adolescents feeling and consciousness are sensitive, theirlearning becomes stronger and stronger, their logical and abstract ideation abilities take u

40、p the master position, and their ideation of common logical ideation has been changed to dialectic ideation, they can use more theoretical ideation to handle things, and their consciousness becomes more independent, critical, and created. The adolescents start to use critical attitude to consider th

41、eir surroundings. Middle school students have formed their own views and fond of suspecting and discussing. Their consciousness becomes more and more perfect and has been changed from the single operation and simple operation to the abstract operation. That is to say, they can be independent to thin

42、k and learn. They begin to know how to dispose complex information and real study materials. Language reflects the consciousness concretely, and the way to learn English reflects the western conscious model. The western conscious model do good to analysis, it concern more on analyzing the details, a

43、nd it also puts emphases on the relationship between independent function of each component and its interaction. In English teaching, teachers should use various effective ways to guide students to study.3.3 In PsychologyMiddle school students have changed a lot both in psychology and physiology. Th

44、eir psychology is changed from half-mature to mature, and has formed their own special characters, which benefit to English learning. For example: they become more active in daily life, they become like to show themselves, and they have the courage to answer teachers questions actively. They have st

45、rong curiosity and consciousness, and many cognitive interests; they also appear much passion to every new things. They like taking challenges in study, and have strong ambitions to win. They would like to show their talent to attract teachers and classmates attention and recognition. There are rich

46、 in emotion, and full of passion. Middle school students can also do good to communication. They have their own opinions and ways to communicate. They can recognize, evaluate, and control themselves well, which are good conditions for the acquirement of English teaching.4 Ways to Apply Communicative

47、 Approach to PracticeThe National Syllabus shows that the English teaching in middle schools should emphasize “communicative principle, culture principle, and functional principle” ，and requires cultivating English talents who can use English to communicate freely at every turn. The National Syllabu

48、s also shows that training communicative ability is a significant target of English teaching. With the globalization in 21st century, the application of English seems more and more important. It is useful and necessary for us to use English now and then. We provide some ways to solve the existing pr

49、oblems in order to apply the communicative approach more effectively. 4.1 Getting Rid of the MisunderstandingSince the communicative approach appeared for the first time，it had revealed its advantages. We met many problems when it first began to use in China. But we all known, before a new idea is accepted by people ，it must be
