BENEFITS AND STRATGIES OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING

             Communicative competence not only decode a language can begin to

manipulate the language in a private dialog.  This language will resist atrophy, longer than language learned strictly trough grammatical explanation and translation exercise.  

            There are some strategies in many modern language classrooms.

1.    Encourage private dialog among students:  where they can express their opinion, desires and have the ability to engage in private dialog.  In order of progress they have to move in three regulations:  objective regulation, other regulation and finally to self regulation.  Emphasis on communicative competence have to be together which the need of explicit training in grammatical structures.  The oral fluency provides a means of engraving the language to level of deeper retention.   Techniques as visual aids can also foster a desire to communicate. 

2.   Establish an immersion environment of instruction:  when the target language also serves as the language of instruction.  Learner is able to think in the target language and the language accelerates dramatically.  The immersion education has received increasing attention. 

3.    Aid retention by instructional songs:  selected components such as alphabet numerals, and grammatical structures with melody to aid retention.  Not only the visual learning process are used for the student learning, the songs can improved retention achieved when the information is transmitted.  When the students hear the language sounds they will be able to progress toward communicative competence.  Repetitive melody that can carry the desired word list or phrase into the memory of students. 

These three strategies are very useful when teaching and trying to get the

student attention.  Over the years teachers need more innovator techniques for the learning language. The students needs the way to learn more easier and faster so they can use it on the daily living.
