| Descripción: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the substantial implementation of communicative approach in teaching English as a foreign language at higher secondary level in Pakistan. It also attempted to differentiate between public and private institutions in CLT application. A questionnaire, observation schedule and subsequent interviews were used to collect data. The results revealed that big gap is found in what teachers claim to do in class room and what they actually materialize. The teaching methodology adopted by the private domain teachers was found comparatively closer to the tenets of communicative approach. During the interview, the respondents tried to justify their inconsistencies in teaching style. Examination washback effect was a commonly forwarded justification by the teachers of both domains. Inexperienced teachers, physical environment, strategic facilities, over-crowded class rooms and non-availibity of teaching material were some of the other excuses given by the interviewees. Key words: ELT, teaching methodology, CLT, GTM, inconsistencies. |
