Communicative method

The material is written to be aligned with the communicative approach to learning a foreign language. There is some attention to grammar, but more attention is given to vocabulary development and communicative fluency in the form of interactive language tasks. Besides that, the material meets the criteria for the communicative method in the following ways (Rambe, 2017):

1. Focus on realistic communication - every speaking activity is an example of real-world teacher language;
2. Space for fluency practice - the speaking activities build up in levels of difficulty and include activities where the learners practice short tasks again and again;
3. Use of authentic texts - every speaking activity is based on input texts found in the real world, including online articles, TEDx talks and blogs;
4. Connecting the material to the world outside - in this case, the material connects to actual language one might expect in the context of the school, inside and outside of the classroom, during meetings and conversations with other educators, pupils, parents and professionals.
