What is competency based instruction in EFL?






 COMPETENCY BASED INSTRUCTION
IN IFL



Competency Based Language Teaching is based on the idea that knowing an abstract idea about a subject does not translate into being able to use that information. Someone may memorize irregular verbs but not actually be able to put them into a logical sentence to use in context.

You focus on objectives which you can measure by having students demonstrate skills. For instance, a goal could be that by the end of the lesson "Students will be able to use past tense when talking about their weekend."





Most people will want to know conversational and social skills, like chatting about sport or movies.Using CBLT means having students learn the language through the use of authentic situations. So in language learning you need to know why your students are learning the language to begin with. You then cater the activities and goals to match what students would encounter in the real world.



As it has been said, Competency based language teaching demands that language be connected to a social context rather than being taught in isolation. CBLT requires learners to demonstrate that they can use the language to communicate effectively.

Most of the students are capable in preserving their memories about the learning materials given by the teacher, but they don’t really understand how to use it. They still have difficulties to use English. Whereas they need it related with environment and society for they will be work and live with.
