    Functional Approach

    a) Functional approach is one kinds of approach that used for strategy of language
    teaching that derives the content of learning from an initial analysis of the
    learners need to express three different kinds of meaning like Functional ( the
    social purpose of the utterance); Modal (the degree of likelihood); Conceptual (the
    meaning relations expressed by forms within the sentence (categories of
    communicative function). These methods of language teaching is categorize along
    with others under the rubric of a communicative approach. The method stresses a
    means of organizing a language syllabus.
    In 1972, the British linguist D.A. Wilkins published a document that proposed a
    radical shift away from using the traditional concepts of grammar and
    vocabulary to describe language to an analysis of the communicative meanings
    that learners would need in order to express themselves and to understand
    effectively. At the end of the 1970s, the first course-books to be based on
    functional syllabuses began to appear. Typically, they would be organized on the
    basis of individual functions and the exponents needed to express these functions.
    b) The Concept of Functional-notional Approach
    (1) Communication is meaningful behavior in a social and cultural context that
    requires creative language use rather than synthetic sentence building.
    (2) language is constructed around language functions and and semanticgrammatical notions
    c) Explanation of specific terms : notions, A function , situation , Exponents, Code,
    Code-switching
    d) The essential components found in functional-notional syllabi are as follows like
    situations, topics, language activities, language functions
    general notions , the specific (topic related) notions, language forms, degree of
    skill the learner
    e) Main characteristics of the functional-notional approach :
    a. a functional view of language
    b. a semantic base, as opposed to a grammatical or a situational base
    c. a learner-centered view of language learning
    d. a basis in the analysis of learner

    e. learner-centered goals, objectives, and content organization reflecting


    authentic language behavior and offering a spiraling development of
    content
    f. learning activities involving authentic language use
    g. testing focused on ability

    f) functional approach is is a method of language teaching that categorize along


    with others under the rubric of a communicative approach that the classification
    of skill levels should be based on what people want to do with the language
    (functions) or in terms of what meanings people want to convey (notions). A
    Functional Notional Approach to language learning places major emphases on
    the communicative purposes of speech or in speaking skill. Then The function of
    functional approach are

    For the learners


    I.

    help learner use the real language or appropriate language when


    communicating

    For the teacher


    I.
    II.

    ORAL APPROACH

    helps the teacher to be able to teach the purposes of speech


    helps the teacher to identify the needs of the learner and analyze
    the needs in order to draw the syllabus, beside that also to teach
