The situational approach is a teaching method that emphasizes the importance of context and real-life situations in language teaching. It believes that learners learn best when they are engaged in authentic language situations that reflect the target language and culture.
Key Principles:
• Focus on communicative competence: Students should be able to use language effectively in real-life situations.
• Authenticity: Learners interact with authentic language materials and engage in realistic tasks.
• Contextualization: Language is introduced and practiced in meaningful contexts that are relevant to students' lives.
• Student-centered: Learning is tailored to the individual needs and interests of students.
