Communicative Language Teaching in an EAP Program

As many universities seek increased enrolment from
the international student population,the art of
developing and implementing effective teaching
methods for English for Academic Purposes EAP)
learners continues to present a challenge. Although
there is a growing body of literature on this topic
from the perspective of language teachers,this book
attempts to examine the role of Communicative
Language Teaching(CLT)in the classroom from the
perspective of language learners, the end users of
any language program. This book aims to examine the
views of learners toward perceived communicative
teaching approaches,their self-reported language
assessments in reading, writing, speaking and
listening,and their feedback preferences. The
analysis draws on CLT teaching approaches that are
valuable in developing EAP focused language
acquisition and should be beneficial to
professionals in Education and Modern Languages who
are committed to facilitating communicative
competence in English within an academic
environment.
