But, does communicative approach involve only speaking? It is a way to develp another ability naturally: by reading, interpreting and then writing.
If you consider that they are not interested in poetry or literature, do you think that finding a way in a camping map would be interesting to everyone? I thought that in this fucntional activities an objective to solve problem to solve would be the key. If it is, my activity has a purpose: reading critically in order to write specific texts, it does not maen that it always have to be poetry, it can also be any narrative or descriptive text.
I still have doubts in this activities suggested by Littlewood, some of them are not connected with student's reality neither their interests. Maybe that is why I thought this activity would fit.
Do I have to re-design an activity? Do I have to consider basically speaking and listening?
