      Today I learned about CLT(Communicative Language Teaching). I knew the famous phrase “learning by doing” was came from CLT. There are four communicative competence. Linguistic, strategic, socio-linguistic, and discourse. From structural to communicative activities we did the speaking. A’s person spoke the phrase which was written and B did the same, but the last phrase was blank so B had to think the phrase. Then we had to think how we can speak naturally from the context. It was a little difficult but interesting for me.        Actually I didn’t know about CLT so firstly I couldn’t understand clearly, but gradually I could know about it. I thought CLT is important to teach the language.

 Today I have finished learning the 英語教育講義’s the first half. Through this time I could learn a lot of things. For example the process of the brain or how to teach or about a first language and so on. Now I’m taking a class of 日本語教授法 and there are some alike points between them. It was interesting for me. I will study hard the latter of the class, too.
