This Study is concerned with the problems arising
from the application of new ideas in communicative
language teaching for EFL adult learners in Vietnam,
and the solutions to these problems.
The Study argues that to learn to communicate
effectively in a foreign language does not mean merely
to master the linguistic forms of the language, but also
to be able to use them in an appropriate way: to
acquire what is called communicative competence. The Study
also suggests that in Vietnam, the structural system of
the language cannot be neglected if teaching/learning is
to be successful. Accordingly, the Study attempts to
search for an appropriate approach to develop communicative competence in the EFL adult learners of Vietnam.
In order to achieve this aim, the Study enters into
consideration of the relevant literature with reference
to the development of the concept of communicative
competence, and communicative language teaching. Then
the Study makes a survey of some communicative-approach-based
textbooks pointing out the practical values of
different syllabus design models and teaching strategies
discussed in the literature.
Finally the Study proposes a communicative-structural
approach to syllabus design for the target group, the
teaching strategies as well as some techniques and
activities associated with the suggested approach.
