Introduction

Background

For about three decades the Ministry of Education
(MOE) has been trying to improve the English as a
foreign language (EFL) curriculum in Egypt.




                         5                 www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Introduction

Gap

The new curriculum innovation has failed because
previous scholars found it was difficult for teachers
who have learned English through the traditional
approaches suddenly turn to familiar classroom
methods in favor of newer ones.




                          6                   www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Purpose of the study

This study examines the communicative approach
influence on student learning and motivation to
illuminate continuing calls for communicative-based
teacher training programmed in Egypt.

Research Questions




               8     www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Literature review
Savignon advocates that ‘represent a context that attracts
researchers and curriculum developers, offering a study
framework for integrating linguistic theory, research, and
teaching practice’.
                                (Savignon, 1991, p.263).




                           9                 www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Literature review
CLT involves genuine communication, communication
through the target language, collaborative activities and
use of authentic materials.
                               (Grenfell & Harris, 1999)




                          10                www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Methodology


  Questionnaires       Interview        Observation




  Four sections to   Semi-structured   Observe how
  teachers and       Cross-case        teachers teach in
  students.          comparison        the class




                         11                www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Methodology




              12   www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Cross-case comparison
This is a method that researcher used in case study which
is to compare the difference of two or more case in the
study. For example:

Questionnaires




                 20   www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Results & Findings
Q1 : What are the teachers’ conceptualizations of
CLT?

      Both teachers agreed that CLT comprises genuine
communication through the target language, tolerance
about student mistakes and authentic materials.




                         21                www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Results & Findings
Q2 : Is there a gap between teacher cognition of CLT
and their actual classroom practice?

       Only the first case (Terry) operationalized it in his
classroom. The second-case findings, Mark, held CLT
beliefs but never translated them into classroom practice.




                            22                 www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Results & Findings
Q3 : What is the impact of CLT on student cognitive
and affective change?
       The first-case (Terry) found that CLT had a
positive impact on student.

       The second-case (Mark) found that was not
communicative, did not help his students to improve
their abilities to use English or increase their motivation
to learn.



                           23                  www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Conclusions
   The current study concludes that use of
   communicative syllabuses are not enough
   for teachers to run actual communicative
   based teaching.

   This study recommends CLT as valid and
   effective for underpinning EFL curriculum
   innovation and development.




                      24                www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Limitation
      Future researchers are encouraged to use ability
measures to assess student learning and     performance
measures to assess teacher pedagogy.




                          25                 www.1ppt.com   LOGO
Reflection
      I learned how to conduct a case study, although
these were complex method, it was worth to learn a new
information about the design.
