Reflection on week 3 Tutorial

For this week, we had to answer four questions, which is based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Before we proceed in answering the four questions given, we had a group discussion on how we should answer the questions. Our first problem was understanding the questions itself, we got confused especially question C) Locate principles supporting CLT within the KBSM English Language Curriculum and F1 English Language. However, after consulting other group members, we were able to understand the questions better. Then, we decided to divide the questions where I would take on question C), so that it would not consume our time because later we would explain it to one another.

Personally, I had to re-read last semesters notes on CLT, so that I would see the flow of what I have learnt about CLT last semester and connect to what I learnt this semester. It would seem that what I have learnt last semester for CLT is little compared to what I learnt for this semester. This semester, we looked at the communicative competence which have different components to it. Thus, it was challenging, it terms of understanding the different components of communicative competence. However, with the help and guidance of our lecturer, we were able to comprehend the different components of communicative competence.

After our tutorial class where we have discussed the four questions, it seems that we did not answered the questions correctly. So, after the discussion, we redo and manage to answer them correctly. It was really a challenging task, however, because of that task, we were able to better understand CLT.
