Communicative language teaching and language taught in relation to context help in promoting self-actualization, emotional stability, social sensitivity, respect and tolerance of self and others. Personal development and inter-personal skills are further reinforced. Classroom activities that are learned-centred provide an interactive and meaningful approach to learning and personal development. The teacher has a vital role to play in this cognitive and affective development. He must be aware of and respond to pupils' individual needs, abilities and interests.
Language is structured.
The key to mastering a language is understanding its structure. Therefore the pupils must be exposed to the structure of language. Language is an important tool. Like all tools it can be misused. The teaching of English must involve an appreciation of th behaviour expected in writing, reading, speaking and listening.
