I guess most teachers today use the communicative approach. But how do you address the weaknesses of this approach, i.e. The students is able to communicating but they making many the mistake.
Good question. I guess it's a matter of the pendulum swinging full the other way. Communicative competence and the communicative approach have been big buzz words for quite a while. We may see a shift back.

Obviously somewhere in the middle will be the goal. The problem is the middle keeps shifting as well.
