초록
Communicative language teaching (CLT) has become an innovative way in the field of English education to promote “communicative competence” of language learners. The paradigm of English education in Korea is moving toward the notion of CLT. Since students in EFL settings have trouble in practicing their communicative language learning experience outside the classrooms, some special efforts should be made to help students practice their communicative language learning in their everyday lives. This study outlines the rationale of how Korean hi-tech credentials with the rapid progress of technology and their application to language education can be a solution for providing real and authentic learning environments for CLT. This study will explain what CLT means in English education and then examine how we can help students expand their language learning experience outside the classroom. This paper will investigate the advantage of building a language community for a college writing course through the web in order to provide students with less threatening learning environments and promote students’ communicative competence and inquire how teachers’ positive and supporting feedback through e-mail exchanges can boost the students’ communicative competence.
Abstract
Communicative language teaching (CLT) has become an innovative way in the field of English education to promote “communicative competence” of language learners. The paradigm of English education in Korea is moving toward the notion of CLT. Since students in EFL settings have trouble in practicing their communicative language learning experience outside the classrooms, some special efforts should be made to help students practice their communicative language learning in their everyday lives. This study outlines the rationale of how Korean hi-tech credentials with the rapid progress of technology and their application to language education can be a solution for providing real and authentic learning environments for CLT. This study will explain what CLT means in English education and then examine how we can help students expand their language learning experience outside the classroom. This paper will investigate the advantage of building a language community for a college writing course through the web in order to provide students with less threatening learning environments and promote students’ communicative competence and inquire how teachers’ positive and supporting feedback through e-mail exchanges can boost the students’ communicative competence.
