How can we improve the page on Communicative language teaching?
I'm not sure 'context' and 'notion' are synonymous in the functional-notional tradition, as the article suggests. Something like 'shopping' was usually called a 'situation', not a 'notion'. 'Notion' was used to describe semantic domains, rather than places in the real world - for example 'weight', 'price', 'colour', 'texture'.

Recent critiques of CLT include an article by Stephen Bax entitled: "The end of CLT: a Context Approach to language teaching" in which he argues that the dominance of CLT has led to the neglect of one crucial aspect of language pedagogy, namely the context in which that pedagogy takes place. Bax argues that it is time to replace CLT as the central paradigm in language teaching with a Context Approach which places context at the heart of the profession. The article argues that such a shift is taking place already and will eventually change our practice radically.
