Personally I think a group work is a great way of strengthen trust and fellowship
because students need to trust on one another. On the other hand it could lead to a
disaster, basically since students do not usually know how to handle leadership. That
is why the authors state some requirements for group work. Interdependence for
instance, comes as a requirement due to the fact that students need to understand
that their personal success is the group success, a great way of improving this is
giving each student an individual task to complete the entire work. I agree when the
concept of rewards mention by the authors, a healthy motivation can make the group
work more relevant to the students. In mi opinion students work in a better way when
each of them makes an equal contribution to the final work. And also, the teacher
should provide some rules such as responsibility and respect to give the students a
sense of personal responsibility.
To sum up, communicative language approach is both helpful and interesting to read
as a future teacher because it show us that the level of motivation and success of
our students depends on the kind of methods we use to perform a better learning
process.
