DESIGN - Objectives
The following are levels of objectives in a communicative
approach (Piepho, 1981):
An integrative and content level (language as a means of
expression)
A linguistic and instrumental level (language as a semiotic
system and an object of learning)
An affective level of interpersonal relationships and conduct
(language as a means of expressing values and judgments
about oneself and others)
A level of individual learning needs (remedial learning based
on error analysis)
A general educational level of extra-linguistic goals
(language learning within school curriculum)

The learner is a
negotiator (between
himself, the learning
process, and the object
of learning). The
implication is that the
learner should
contribute as much as
he gains, and learn in an
interdependent way.
Ss are expected to
interact primarily with
each other rather than
with the teacher.
Ss give and receive
information.
PROCEDURE
Pre-communicative Activities
Krashen and Terrell identified the Natural Approach with what they call
traditional approaches to language teaching. Traditional approaches are
defined as based on the use of language in communicative situations
without recourse to the native language - and, perhaps, needless to say,
without reference to grammatical analysis, grammatical drilling, or a
particular theory of grammar.
The Natural Approach, is regarded as a comprehension-based approach
because of its emphasis on initial delay(silent period) in the production of
language. What is novel is that the NA focuses on exposure to input
instead of grammar practice, and on emotional preparedness for
acquisition to take place.
Acquisition requires meaningful interaction in the target language natural
communication - in which speakers are concerned not with the form of
their utterances but with the messages they are conveying and
understanding.
The best methods are therefore those that supply 'comprehensible input' in
low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to
hear. These methods do not force early production in the second language,
but allow students to produce when they are 'ready', recognizing that
improvement comes from supplying communicative and comprehensible
input, and not from forcing and correcting production."

Natural
Approach
Use of language in
communicative situations
without recourse to the
native language.
Acquisition
is the product of a subconscious process very similar to the
process children undergo when they acquire their first language.
It requires meaningful interaction in the target language natural communication - in which speakers are concentrated not
in the form of their utterances, but in the communicative act.
Learning
is the product of formal instruction and it comprises a conscious
process which results in conscious knowledge 'about' the
language, for example knowledge of grammar rules. According
to Krashen 'learning' is less important than 'acquisition'.

DESIGN - Objectives
The Natural Approach is designed for beginners to help them
become intermediates.
Since the Natural Approach is offered as a general set of
principles applicable to a wide variety of situations, as in
Communicative Language Teaching, specific objectives
depend on learner needs and the skills (reading, writing,
speaking or listening) and level being taught.

Language
Premise 4 is that one learns how these cooperative
maxims are realized in ones native language
through casual, everyday conversational interaction.
Premise 5 is that one learns how the maxims are
realized in a second language through participation
in cooperatively structured interactional activities.

APPROACHES Theory of
Learning
Cooperative learning advocates on the theoretical work of
developmental psychologists Jean Piaget and Lev
Vygotsky. A central premise of CLL is that learners
develop communicative competence in a language by
conversing in socially or pedagogically structured
situations. CLL also seeks to develop learners critical
thinking skills.
The word cooperative in CLL emphasizes another
importance of CLL : CLL seeks to develop classrooms that
foster cooperation rather than competition in learning.
Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared
goals.

The syllabus
. CLL does not assume any particular form of
language syllabus, since activities from a wide
variety of curriculum orientations can be taught
via cooperative learning. Thus we find CLL used
in teaching content classes, ESP, the four skills,
grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. CLL is
the systematic and carefully planned use of
group-based procedures in teaching as an
alternative to teacher-fronted teaching.
