Saudi EFL Students' Beliefs on Communicative Language Teaching
Hameed, Paiker Fatima Mazhar
TESOL International Journal, v15 n3 p6-19 2020
This paper explores Saudi EFL students' beliefs on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) at the University of Qassim. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach. Eighty-nine students have responded to the researcher-made questionnaire addressing six areas of the CLT (students' belief, the grammar function; the function of students' native language; work in pairs and classes and errors and correction). The findings show that students have a positive belief in the CLT, particularly in terms of teachers' and students' roles. In the teachers' position, mother tongue and pair and class functions, teachers and schoolchildren held different CLT opinions. This study indicates that CLT in the Saudi context is favorably accepted in the Language teaching process. Implications of the study are presented and discussed.
