9. Сonclusion

Practical part was realized as an experiment in the classroom. I
presented the same target language for two groups of students, using
different approach for each.
Phenomena proved during the practical part could be summed up in
short:
- grammar-translation students tend to use rather narrow range of
language with problems to integrate it within context
- conscious learning of rules does not lead to language acquisition
- communicative approach prepares students for real communication,
students are not anxious about experiments with language and they are
able to respond the context well.
