CLT ( Communicative Language Teaching) & CLTs (Challenges of Language Teaching)

<< < (2/4) > >>

Dear Fatema,
I kept in mind the overwhelming majority of the millions of  YLs of English in rural Bangladesh and incapacity of the English teachers to deliver the CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) tackling the Challenges of Language Teaching (CLTs). Yes, e-learning is helpful; yes, even some elements of GT method will still be helpful; yes, there are few success stories about the "so-called successes" in ELT in Bangladesh; yes, many "awards" and "rewards" are heard about for those "successes" in ELT; but my 64 million dollar question is: "Why are the standards of English among the learners from the KG to PG levels have been dropping down by any counts?"
I hope and would request you and others in the Forum to think deeply and come out with at least one good suggestion to respond to my humble question.
Thank you.

To ALL members of faculty in the English Department:
I'm just trying to have a feel among our colleagues about delivery of our lessons in 100% TL (Target Language) which is English. They say 100% use of TL is a prerequisite for Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).
My question is:
Are we delivering our English lessons, be it English language or, be it English literature, in 100% TL? If not, why not?

Or, does code switching help learners learn better? If yes, how?
I'd request my colleagues to join in the debate. Thank you.

A small correction of my earlier question:

Does code switching help Foreign/second language learners learn better? If yes, how?
