II. Review of Theories Applied (Rationales)

The curriculum theory and following principle

Focus on communication: By participating in communicative activities and utilizing real-world texts, students
acquire language skills through realistic communication.

Use of functional language: CLT places more emphasis on the capacity to carry out other tasks than just being
grammatically accurate, such as making requests, offering regrets, or expressing opinions.

Task-based learning: Classes are structured around assignments that students finish to mimic real-world
circumstances and promote communication.

Collaborative learning: Group projects and pair work are crucial components of CLT classes because they
encourage student interaction and meaning negotiation.

Student-centered learning: CLT emphasizes students' responsibility and autonomy in language development
while encouraging them to play an active part in their education. (studysmarter , n.d.)

ENGLISH FOR ADULT PROGRAMS

Participating communicative activities, collaborating with peers and taking ownership of their
learning, students in the CLT become more proficient and confident language users, capable of
using the language in a variety of real-life situations. (Burns)

The main education Methodology in the general English program for adults is Communicative language teaching.

Communicative language Teaching is a widely recognized teaching Methodology in English language programs
for adults, emphasizing the development of communicative competence through meaningful interaction and task-
based activities. In CLT, the focus shifts from traditional grammar -based instruction to providing learners with
opportunities to engage in authentic language use and communication in real-life situations. At the core of CLT
is the belief that language leaning is most effective when the learner is activity involved in using the language for
authentic purposes. Therefore, the teaching methodology in a CLT-based English program for adults revolves
around creating opportunities for learner to engage in communicative tasks that mirror real-world language use.

This could include activities such as role- plays, information- gap tasks problem-solving tasks, and collaborative
projects. In a CLT -based classroom, the role of the teacher shift from being a transmitter of language learning.

Teacher adopts a learner through activities and providing support as needed, while also encouraging autonomy
and leaner independence teachers serve as language models providing authentic language input and feedback to
help learner develop their communicative skills. CLT also emphasizes the integration of all language skills
(listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in meaningful contexts. Rather than isolating language skills in separate
activities teachers design tasks that require learners to learner to use a combination of skills to accomplish a
communicative goal. For example, learners might engage in a role [- play activity where they must listen and
respond appropriately to their partner, read and interpret information and write down key points or responses.

Furthermore, CLT encourages the use of authentic materials and resources that reflect real-life language use. This
could include newspapers, magazines, video, podcast, and online resources that expose learners to authentic
language input and cultural context.

Overall, CLT offers a dynamic and learner-centered approach to teaching English to adults, promoting active
participation, authentic communication, and development of communicative competence in real-world contexts.

An approach to teaching language that places an emphasis on interaction as both the means and the end aim of
leaning is known as communicative language teaching, or CLT. In response to the apparent flaws in conventional
grammar translation language instruction techniques, CLT was developed in the 1970s. Grammar and vocabulary
were taught separately in traditional techniques, with little attention paid to the communicative use of the language.

ENGLISH FOR ADULT PROGRAMS

Contrarily, CLT focuses on helping students become more adept at communicating in authentic settings.
(Yousafzai, n.d.)

According to Richards ‘one can become proficient in a language`s sentence construction rules and yet not be very
successful at using the language for meaningful communication. (Richards, 2006)

Language is an effective tool that people may use to communicate connect, and express their ideas. In language
education, a number of approaches and methodologies have been developed to support efficient language leaning.
Communicative language Teaching (CLT) is one method that highlights the value of interaction and conversation
in the language learning (Yousafzai, n.d.)

The Teacher Role in CLT

In a communicative language teaching program for adults the role of teacher is crucial in facilitating effective
language learning. The teacher serves as a guide facilitator, and resource for students creating an environment
where meaningful communication and interaction can take place.

The teacher encourages active participation and engagement among students, promoting real-life communication
situations where language is used authentically. This involves designing tasks and activities that encourage
learners to use the language to convey messages solve problem and negotiate meaning.

The teacher provides language input and feedback tailored to the individual needs of the learners this may include
correcting errors providing explanations, and offering opportunities for practice and reinforcement

The teacher fosters a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students feel comfortable taking
risks and experimenting with the language. This involves being culturally sensitive and respectful of leaner’s
backgrounds and experiences.

The teacher serves as a model of effective communication demonstrating proper pronunciation intonation, and
usage of the language structures. Through their own language use, the teacher sets an example for student to
follow and emulate

Overall, the teacher in a CLT program for adults plays a dynamic and multifaceted role in facilitating language
learning, guiding students towards proficiency through meaningful communication and interaction

The student role in CLT

6
ENGLISH FOR ADULT PROGRAMS

In a communicative language teaching (CLT) program for adult’s students play an active and central role in their
language learning journey. Their engagement and participation are essential for the success of program.

The students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own leaning by actively participating in
communicative activities to express themselves, share their opinions, and engage in real-life language use
situations thereby developing their communicative competence.

The students are expected to collaborate with their peers in meaningful language activities, such as pair work and
group discussions. Through these interactions, they learn to negotiate meaning, seek clarification and solve
communication problems collaboratively

The students are responsible for seeking clarification and feedback from the teacher and their peers to improve
their language skills. they should be proactive in asking questions, seeking help when needed and incorporating
feedback into their language practice.

Thus, students in a CLT program for adults play a vital role in their language learning process by actively engaging
in communicative activities collaborating with their peers, reflecting on their learning progress and seeking
feedback and clarification. They take ownership of their leaning by participating actively, expressing their
classmates to achieve language proficiency.

One of the teaching strategies that is consistent with the student-centered approach is communicative learning
activities, CLT supports students` ability to communicative Language Teaching (CLT) recognizes the
interconnectedness of the language and communication and sets communicative competence states that
communicative competence as the goal of the language teaching and by acknowledging the interdependence of
language and communication. (Larsen-Freeman, 2000)

Teaching and learning

comprehensive reference to several kinds of Communicative Language Teaching activities and real-world
examples for a range of language skills. You will also find useful advice for creating engaging and successful
Communicative Language Teaching activities that are suited to the needs of your students, to ensure successful
implementation in your classroom. (studysmarter , n.d.)

In a communicative language Teaching classroom catering to adult learners, teaching and learning process
revolves around active communication, authentic language use, and learner-centered activities. CLT emphasizes
the development of communicative competence, focusing on the ability to use language effectively in real-life
situation rather that solely on grammatical accuracy. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) stands as a
cornerstone in English language education, particularly for adult learners seeking to enhance their language
7
ENGLISH FOR ADULT PROGRAMS

proficiency. In CLT programs tailored for adults, the focus is not merely on rote memorization of vocabulary or
grammar rules but on fostering meaningful communication and interaction in English. the key principles and
practices of teaching and learning within a CLT framework for English programs designed for adult learners’
places a strong emphasis on interactive activities that encourage learners to actively engage with the language.
Adult learners participate in various communicative tasks such as role-plays, debates, and problem-solving
activities, which mirror real-life language use scenarios. These activities not only enhance language skills but also
promote confidence in using English in practical situations.

Moreover, authentic materials play a crucial role in CLT programs for adults. Learners are exposed to a wide
range of authentic resources such as newspaper articles, podcasts, and videos, which provide valuable context
and exposure to natural language use. By interacting with authentic materials, adult learners develop their
language skills in authentic contexts, preparing them for real-world communication.

Task-based learning is another fundamental aspect of CLT programs for adults. Learners are given tasks that
require them to use English to achieve specific goals, such as planning a trip or participating in a group discussion.
Through these tasks, adult learners not only practice language skills but also develop critical thinking and
problem-solving abilities.

Furthermore, CLT adopts a student-centered approach, where the teacher serves as a facilitator rather than a
lecturer. Adult learners take an active role in their learning process, with opportunities for self-expression and
autonomy. This student-centered approach creates a supportive learning environment where adult learners feel
motivated to engage with the language and take ownership of their learning.

Feedback and error correction are integral components of CLT programs for adult learners. Teachers provide
constructive feedback focusing on communication effectiveness rather than mere accuracy. Adult learners are
encouraged to learn from their mistakes and use feedback to improve their language skills continuously.

In conclusion, teaching and learning in CLT programs for English language education for adults are characterized
by interactive activities, authentic materials, task-based learning, a student-centered approach, and effective
feedback mechanisms. By embracing these principles and practices, CLT empowers adult learners to develop the
communication skills they need to succeed in various personal, academic, and professional contexts.

Needs analysis

The objectives and subject matter of a course are the primary targets of needs analysis. It looks at what the students
already know and what they still need to know. The needs analysis ensures that the course material is pertinent
8
ENGLISH FOR ADULT PROGRAMS

and helpful. It serves as the GPS for creating language curricula. It displays your current location, your desired
destination, and the path to get there. Proper requirements analysis entails posing pertinent queries and
determining the best course of action for obtaining the answers. (I.S.P.Nation, 2020)

Conducting a Needs Analysis is an essential step in language curriculum design as it helps identify the specific
requirements, goals, and preferences of the learners, as well as the contexts in which they will use the language.
Here's an exploration of the conducting a Needs Analysis:

Understanding Learners' Proficiency Levels:

One of the primary necessities in a Needs Analysis is assessing the learners' current proficiency levels in the target
language. This involves evaluating their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills to determine their
strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. By understanding where learners stand in terms of language
proficiency, curriculum designers can tailor the curriculum to meet their specific needs and provide appropriate
instruction and support.

Identifying Learners' Language Learning Goals:

Another crucial aspect of Needs Analysis is identifying the learners' language learning goals and objectives. These
goals may vary depending on factors such as learners' personal interests, professional aspirations, academic
requirements, or social integration needs. By eliciting learners' goals through surveys, interviews, or self-
assessment tasks, curriculum designers can align the curriculum with learners' desired outcomes and ensure that
it addresses their specific needs and motivations.

Assessing Learners' Linguistic and Communicative Needs:

Needs Analysis also involves assessing learners' linguistic and communicative needs in the target language. This
includes identifying the types of language tasks and activities learners will encounter in real-life situations and
determining the language skills and competencies they need to perform these tasks effectively. By analyzing
learners' communicative needs, curriculum designers can develop a curriculum that focuses on relevant language
functions, vocabulary, and discourse strategies necessary for successful communication in various contexts.

Considering Learners' Cultural and Contextual Factors:

In addition to linguistic needs, Needs Analysis should also take into account learners' cultural and contextual
factors that may influence their language learning experience. This includes factors such as learners' cultural
background, socio-economic status, educational experiences, and learning preferences. By considering these
factors, curriculum designers can ensure that the curriculum is culturally responsive, inclusive, and relevant to
learners' lived experiences, thereby enhancing their engagement and motivation in the language learning process.

Involving Stakeholders and Experts:

Finally, conducting a Needs Analysis often involves consulting with stakeholders such as learners, teachers,
administrators, employers, and language experts to gather valuable insights and perspectives on learners' needs
and expectations. By involving stakeholders in the Needs Analysis process, curriculum designers can gain a
holistic understanding of the learning context and ensure that the curriculum reflects the diverse interests and
priorities of the stakeholders involved. conducting a Needs Analysis is essential in language curriculum design
as it provides valuable insights into learners' proficiency levels, goals, communicative needs, cultural contexts,
and stakeholder perspectives. By addressing these necessities, curriculum designers can develop a curriculum that
is tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of the learners, thereby enhancing their language learning
outcomes and fostering their engagement and success in the language learning journey.
