From Comprehension to Communication
Overview
From Comprehension to Communication addresses one of the most persistent challenges in language teaching: why students who excel at grammar tests often cannot speak the language they have studied for years. This book offers a practical, research-based solution for teachers who want to help their students make the crucial jump from knowing grammatical rules to using language for real communication.Drawing on principles of first language acquisition and Total Physical Response (TPR), the book presents a comprehension-first approach that prioritizes understanding before production. It argues that traditional grammar-first instruction creates anxiety, inhibits speaking, and produces students who can analyze language but cannot use it. By reversing the instructional sequence-placing comprehension before communication-teachers can build a solid foundation for fluent, confident speaking.
