Communicative lessons

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communicative teaching is a form of teaching in which the hierarchy of teachers to learners is to be broken up in favor of mutual interaction and communication .

With the concept of communicative teaching, the following five quality criteria in teaching should be met:

  • Communicative teaching is a concept of teaching and learning that implicitly expresses and prepares the orientation towards democracy by preparing the learner at an early stage for a communicative exchange of opinions, interests, views and different information.
  • Communicative teaching is a didactic approach that does justice to the heterogeneity of current developments. Therefore, the exchange of various findings and information must be systematic.
  • Communicative teaching is an essential basis of basic education . This includes that experimental experiences, observations at the exploration site and statements of aesthetic images are transformed into a phenomenon in educational content. In addition, the linguistic expression is the means of transformation. From this point of view, communicative teaching is also educational teaching.
  • Communicative lessons structurally enable learning from one another in the sense of "children learn from children".
  • Communicative teaching is a model of the risk society in the classroom and enables content not to be received as prefabricated "materials", but rather to work out new interpretations and aspects of the subject in the interaction of the learners.

Understood in this way, communicative teaching is also a way of preparing students for tolerance in a heterogeneous society by taking different approaches seriously and consciously accepting them. It is not about finding the one truth, but about enduring different views.
