Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
This study aimed to summarize the importance of using Communicative Language Teaching Method (CLT) in teaching English as a foreign Language in 9-year elementary school students in Albanian context. It also aimed to answer the research question and to describe the effect that the application of this method had in the classroom in comparison with other traditional methods. The data were collected with a qualitative method and the instrument used was Observation. The participants were 367 students divided in: 189 students in the Experimental Group and 178 students in the Control Group (age 11 to 15 years old). The results showed that learning a foreign language through communication is a more effective and satisfying way of learning. After analyzing the observations, we concluded that the communicative method affects teaching, learning, motivation, socialization and interaction of the students. In traditional methods the focus is on vocabulary learning, grammar rules and pronunciation through imitation, memorization, repetition with very little interaction where each situation is directed by the teacher and students' feelings are not taken into consideration and there is a lack of socialization and interaction.
