This *oo$ attempts to investigate and sharpen our definition of +communicative,
to consider the implications this has for the classroom and- finall#- to suggest wa#s of
e&ploiting the creative potential of learners to give them a clearer notion of what it is to
communicate with a spea$er of another language.
In the /01s it was often stated that the o*2ective of an# F' Course was to ma$e
the stt use that language with the proficienc# and fluenc# of a native.
3ar# Finnochiaro sa#s: +A well designed curriculum should +reflect realistic
o*2ectives, starting from the $nowledge and s$ills the learners for whom the
curriculum is intended need in their immediate future- and how much one can
reasona*l# hope to accomplish in the time availa*le,.

Introduction
7e will spea$ a*out methodological competence of universit# teachers which is
an indispensa*le ingredient of a professional. A professional $nows that teaching-
irrespective of the su*2ect or discipline taught- is done not in the manner of an effective
in@put followed up *# chec$ing and assessment- *ut *# focusing on the development of
the conitive intere!t to re!earch- personal finding. In other words- ever# teacher
must teach students how to learn.
The B;!CO materials state that a niversit# should *ecome a la*orator# -ho!e
mi!!ion i!to anal#e the past- chec$ the present and prepare the alternatives for the
future. The first concern of a humanitarian education is the student"s active cognitive
outloo$. No factual .no-lede can !u1!titute it.
7e have entered the new era when the fate of our planet full# depends on the
level of our consciousness which is the source of all our ideas- actions- desires and
thoughts.
!pea$ing a*out changing instruction methods educationists mention onl# two
strategies:
. general changes must *e made in the in!tructional environmentincluding
the material used
). the activities and the manner of use of materials must *e modified.
Dut these are the outwardl# means to perfect the teaching process. The
con!ciou!ne!! of the !tudent remain! intactwhen the teacher provides him with
communicative opportunities onl#. The student"s inner world is responding when his
*rain has a relevant pro*lem- when he discusses options- ma$es life@true decisions and
esta*lishes accounta*ilit# and *ears responsi*ilit# for what he does while wor$ing in a
team.
Bot den#ing the importance of the two strategies mentioned a*ove we must
accentuate the indispensa*ilit# of the Creative Performance Approach discussed
further. 'oo$ at the scheme and give #our ideas a*out it to #our partner.
