This document summarizes a study that examined the influence of a communicative-based curriculum on student learning and motivation in Egypt. The study compared two teachers - Terry, who implemented communicative language teaching (CLT) methods effectively, and Mark, who understood CLT in theory but did not apply it in practice. Results found that Terry's CLT-based classroom had a positive impact on students, improving their English abilities and motivation, while Mark's traditional methods did not achieve the same effects. The study concluded that providing a communicative syllabus alone is not enough for teachers and that CLT represents a valid approach for curriculum development.
