Abstract:
English is regarded as the language of communication worldwide. Nunan (2001:605) observes that today English permeates every part of our social spheres. ‘It is the language of business, technology, science, internet, and even sports.’
The primary objective of teaching English as a second or as a foreign language should be to develop the learners’ communicative competence, which is, mastering the use of English in a variety of situations, social contexts and professional areas. English should therefore be taught in a way that learners are able to master and internalize practical linguistic skills for communication purposes in their daily lives. (Lumala 2008)
