Abstract

This paper offers a critical examination of the communicative approach (CA) with specific reference to a study of the teaching and learning experiences of a group of Thai university practitioners and students. It is argued that although the fundamental tenets of the approach
have served the profession well, it is now time to consider an emerging alternative paradigm in the form of a context-based approach (C-bA).
