Subject: Task 8

My English’Learning was based in the structural approach. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to study English outside of school, so for me It was usual to learn English through repeated words. The English’class during my high school used to emphasise the “reading and writing”. I and my classmates have never left the traditional classes to practice English in real situations. Today, however, It can be seen in several Englisgh’courses: the learners take part in theaters and dialogues. This contributes for the understanding of language and to a fluent speaking.
My teachers used to correct me when I made my mistakes of pronunciation when I read a text; thus I didn’t want to speak in the classes.
The educational books demanded accuracy in the answers and I didn’t have any context situations. The activities was always very repetitives.
Considering the communicative approach I couldn’t identify any similar activity in my learning’history because my course used to emphasised old practices.
