Main aims
Oral skills are used systematically to emphasize communication. The foreign language is taught for communication, with a view to achieve development of communication skills.
Practice is how the learning of the language takes place. Every language skill is the total of the sets of habits that the learner is expected to acquire
Oral learning is emphasized. Stress is put on oral skills at the early year of the foreign language course and is continued during the later years.
