Curriculum Goals and evidence
• Language skills and knowledge revolve around communicative competence.
• Evidence used to evaluate achievement of these goals also relies on communicative competence.

Learning experiences

Learning experiences and scaffolding
• Many, many other communicative activities can be designed as simple “scaffolds” or learning ladders to help students take steps along the way to achieving the larger goals.

Communicative activities
• Have an authentic purpose
• Focus on a practical task
• Use real language (even if textbook practice precedes the activity)
• Focus on mean and function rather than form

Communicative activities
• Most communicative activities exist outside the parameters of the textbook
• The textbook can provide excellent scaffolding for an activity which then uses the target language in an authentic way

• In large classes, communicative activities are best accomplished through group work so that the teacher can circulate to hear language output
