		Since the 1970's, the communicative approach has been influential in foreign language teaching. The main objective is to have students become competent i.e., able to use the language appropriate to a social context.
Choose the item which is  not a characteristic of the communicative approach?
	
	
	
	Students need to use the target language forms, meanings, and functions in negotiating meaning.
	
	
	Real communication takes place outside and inside the classroom.
	
	
	Foreign language teaching must be concerned with reality.
	
	
	A characteristic of this approach is the fact that we don't need to use authentic materials.
	
	
	The learning atmosphere must be supportive and must promote opportunities for expression.

		We ought to clear out the concepts of approach and  method
	
	
	
	because while method refers to the way a teacher considers content while deciding how to teach it, approach refers to the way a teacher ultimately decides to teach it (for example, as a lecture, an activity, a discussion, etc.).(www.enotes.com)
	
	
	because methods are not used anymore.
	
	
	since these are topics which may be pretty interesting.
