The Impact of Teaching English Language from Communicative Perspective: A Case Study of Universities and Schools in Yemen
It is a well-known fact that English is an international language and assumes great significance in various fields all over the world. Realizing this fact, the number of universities and schools in Yemen introduced English in their syllabus as a compulsory subject, and many students have been attempting to develop their ability to speak fluently in English with others.Apart from this, Yemeni parents have also realized the importance of the English language for learning Science, Technology, and developing their business in the present world. Hence, they are encouraging and insisting on their children to learn the English Language and acquiring mastery over it. However, most of the students in Yemen pay scant attention towards it. Hence, they are not able to talk or express themselves in the English language. Many factors are responsible for this state of affairs. One of the main reasons is that in Yemen teachers are teaching the English as a foreign language. Besides, the students do not have sufficient opportunities to practice English either in the classroom or outside. Consequently, the result of ELT in Yemen is far from our expectations.
