A abordagem comunicativa como estratégia de ensino e aprendizagem da língua inglesa em sala de aula

Abstract

The communicative approach has stood out as an effective methodology for teaching the English language, emphasizing authentic interaction and contextualized learning. The main objective of this study is to analyze the communicative approach as an effective strategy for teaching and learning the English language, identifying the characteristic elements of this approach and assessing its impact on the teachinglearning process. Based on theorists such as Wilkins (1970), Richards and Rodgers (2001), and Dörnyei (1998), this research analyzed its effectiveness in developing the four language skills. The methodology used was qualitative, with a bibliographic review and exploratory analysis, focusing on the importance of real communication in the teaching-learning process. The results indicate that this approach improves students’ fluency and motivation, promoting more meaningful learning. Additionally, educational technology enhances engagement and expands practice opportunities. In this context, the teacher takes on the role of facilitator, encouraging students’ active participation. However, challenges such as lack of infrastructure and resistance to innovative methodologies still hinder implementation. Despite this, the communicative approach has proven to be an efficient strategy for teaching English, preparing students for real-life communication situations and fostering their autonomy in learning.world.
