Abstract
The communicative approach used in the last decades as a predominant pedagogic line in the teaching of foreign languages, implies, in its pure manifestation, a deliberate dismissal of certain teaching strategies in an attempt to develop the functional aspect of the language, leaving the direct instruction of the form behind. This article presents the need to reconcile paradigms and proposes the incorporation of different approaches and ways of thinking with the aim of attaining a more profound and efficient integration of the target language.
