Communicative Language Teaching

Background this method because the goal of most of the methods so far is for students to learn to communicate in the target language. The students could produce sentences accurately in a lesson, but could not used them appropriately when genuinely communicating outside of the classroom.

Communicative Language Teaching aims commonly to apply the theoretical perspective of the Communicative approach by making communicative competence the goal of language teaching and by acknowledging the interdependence of language and communication. In this method, knowing structure and vocabulary are not enough. So, In order to communication, we need more than linguistic competence. There is needed Communicative competence (Hymes, 1971)-knowing when and how to say what to whom.

The Principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT):
1. The goal is to enable students to communicate in the target language, the students need knowledge of the linguistic forms, meanings, and function. Communication is a process; knowledge of the forms of language is insufficient.
2. The teacher facilitates communication in the classroom.
3. CLT is that almost everything that is done is done with a communicative intent. Students use language in real communication.
4. Students interact a great deal with one another.
5. One of the basic assumptions of CLT is that by learning to communicate students will be more motivated to study a foreign language since they will feel they are learning to do something useful with the language.
6. Language is for communication. Linguistic competence, the knowledge of forms and their meanings, is just one part of communicative competence.
7. Language functions might be emphasized over forms.
8. The students' native language is permitted in CLT, to give the instruction in assigning homework.
9. A teacher evaluates not only students' accuracy, but also their fluency.
10. The teacher may note the errors during fluency activities and return to them later with an accuracy-based activity.

Equivalence in Translation

Equivalence is the important thing that must be achieved in translation process, a translation product can be said successfully if the readers or listeners of that translation product do not know that they are reading or listening of translation product that means responds of the readers or listeners when they read and listen the source text is same when they read or listen the translation product. Equivalence can be said to be the central issue in translation. The thing that is found out of translator is the equivalence meaning from source language (SL) to target language (TL). The concept of equivalence nevertheless broadened out when the American Bible theorist and translator Eugene Nida (1964) recognized the polarities ‘dynamic equivalence’ (same function) and ‘formal equivalence’ (same form, probably with a different function). There were thus different kinds of equivalence that could be established, independently of whatever was considered ‘natural’ before the translator ente

EXAMPLES OF TRANSLATION PRINCIPLES

Based on Allan Duff, the principles of translation must be following these: 1.       Meaning:  the translation should reflect the meaning accurately. For example: I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason enough in the last few months— but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. Aku tidak pernah terlalu memikirkan bagaimana aku akan mati, meskipun aku punya cukup alasan  beberapa bulan terakhir ini, tapi kalaupun memiliki alasan, aku tak pernah membayangkan akan seperti ini. (Source: Twilight and its translation) I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Aku menatap ruangan panjang itu tanpa bernafas, ke dalam mata gelap sang pemburu, dan ia balas menatapku senang. 2.       Form: The words order should match the original as closely as possible. Example: She hugged me tightly for a minute, and then I got on the plane, and she was go
