Reflection of Competence-Based Language Teaching

A Competence-Based Language Teaching consists of four elements:

  -  assessment of learner needs
   - selection of competencies based on those needs
   - instruction targeted to those competencies
   - evaluation of learners performance in those competencies.

Process work :
- Through the initial needs assessment and ongoing evaluation of learner goals and progress,      competency-based programs are continually adapted and refined. 

- The teacher first carries out a needs analysis to see how and where the students will need to use their English.

- The teacher then defines some competencies (tasks) that the students will need to accomplish.
- The teacher creates activities that will teach the students how to accomplish those competencies (tasks).
- Finally the teacher evaluates the students on their ability to perform those tasks.
