The end of CLT

Bax is quick to argue that CLT is the overbearing majority method teachers use to teach a second language. He claims that this method is the fad of the times and does not adequetly give a substantial form of teacheing. He claims that everybody believes, "The communicative appraoch is the way to do it, no matter where you are, no matter what the context" (p281) I disagree, although this approach is very popular it is not the only method being used and no one teacher truely uses a CLT approach. As we have discussed good teachers overlap methods and use what is best suited for their students. I believe he is a little too critical of the CLT approach.
