Structural Approach:• This approach

mainly focuses on the structure of the sentence as well as the grammar, vocabulary , form of the language etc.

• We will find this approach more in practice in the grammatical field.

• Teacher remain active, learners remain passive.

Structural Approach:• Through this

approach we can rectify learner’s error immediately.

• The learner can develop the habit of framing the authentic language structure.

• The learner also come to know about the different words, and new structural patterns.

Structural Approach:• We can say that

this structure is the blind repetition of the form of language.

• It is helpful in the early learning stages only.

• It may suffocate the creativity of the learner.

Communicative approach:• Communicative

approach is two way approach.

• It takes place only when really the ‘communication’ takes place.

• Here teacher remain passive whereas students take part actively.

Communicative approach:• Teacher ask

questions.• Classroom

discussion, Debate, and online sources are the best examples.

• Teacher can ask question one by one to all learners.

• Learners come out from their comfort zone.

Communicative approach:• Sometimes learner

may get the wrong information because of the lack of communication.

• Still some learners may not take part actively in the classroom debates.

• Teacher may not rectify learner’s error immediately.
