Beginning in the 1960s, British applied linguists developed the communicative approach as a reaction away from grammar-based approaches.

*AUTHENTIC MATERIALS:
To overcome the typical problem that students cannot transfer what they learn in the classroom to the outside world
and to expose students to natural language in a variety of situations.
*SCRAMBLE SENTENCES:
The students are given a passage in which the sentences are in a scrambled order. This may be a passage they have worked with of one they have not seen before. They are told
to unscramble the sentences so that the sentences are restored to their original order.
