There are three types of practice in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). They are: (1) mechanical practice, meaningful
practice, and (2) communicative practice. Exercise sequences in many CLT course books take students from the first type of
practice, to the second and to the third.

communication, people normally communicate in order to get (4) information they do not possess. The activites that apply this
principle are called (5) information-gap activities.

SEGMENTALS vs. SUPRASEGMENTALS

Pronunciation instruction historically has emphasized mastery of individual sounds  or segmentals. With the advent of
Communicative Language Teaching, the focus shifted to fluency rather than accuracy, encouraging an almost exclusive emphasis
on suprasegmentals  (word stress, rhythm, intonation, etc.). However, just as ESL teachers have acknowledged that an emphasis on
meaning and communicative intent alone will not suffice to achieve grammatical accuracy, pronunciation has emerged from the
segmental/suprasegmentals debate to a more balanced view, which recognizes that a lack of intelligibility can be attributed to both
micro and macro features. It is clear that learners whose command of sounds deviated too broadly from standard speech will be
hard to understand no matter how target like their stress and intonation might be. Thus, it is no longer a question choosing between
segmentals and suprasegmentals but of identifying which features contribute most to lack of intelligibility, and which will be most
useful in the communicative situations in which our learners will need to function. (Goodwin, 2001)

Which  do segmentals refer to?

a. rhythm b.individual sounds  c. word stress d.intonation The correct answer is:individual sounds
