By contrast， teachers in communicative classrooms will find themselves talking less and listening more. The teacher has two main roles： the first role is to facilitate the communicative process between all participants in the classroom， and between the various activities. The second role is to act as an independent participant within the language-teaching group. The teachers set up the exercise， but the students’ performance is the goal. So， the teachers must step back and observe， sometimes acting as a monitor. A classroom during a communicative activity is not quiet. The students do most of the speaking， and the classroom during a communicative exercise is active. To participate， students may find they gain confidence in using the target language. Students are more responsible mangers of their own learning. Thus creativity is incorporated into communicative competency. Focusing purely on language form i.e. syntactic structures was considered too narrow. Communicative language teaching therefore seeks to bring learners into closer contact with authentic language examples together with the promotion of fluency over accuracy.
Conclusion
By creatively adopting CLT and SLT principles and activities， an English teacher may be able to solve problems in various teaching situations， such as students’ reluctance to talk in English. However， none of teaching approach is a cure-all that is sufficient enough to be used as the sole basis of teaching， and we must subtract the essence out of each teaching approach and apply it creatively to our own teaching situation. Both SLT and CLT can be used to teach oral English， but we need to compare them， evaluate them and adapt principles that suit to our own teaching situation best. Every teacher should find a best teaching method that will give students most benefits.
