This design was to be evolves at zero level which would teach students to do things through language, and at the same time keeping focus on their grammar. But the biggest problem in organizing the course was faced when language functions got disorganized. And to overcome this problem few of the models were investigated.

Teach language functions in some kind of orders. And the material should not contain any relationship between the function and the expression.

Things happened just right now, not to be included.

Lengthy grammatical material to be avoided for discussion.

Thematic areas should not be confused with centers of interests.

Despite the fact, it is too early to make any value judgments about the functional/nation approach, but one thing is clear that it is here to stay and any other writing material must be influenced by functional/nation consideration.

This obviously does not end here, and what we get to find next is the serious limitation of this idea when it comes to deal in vocabulary and sentence. Because it is not possible in a general group of class where a beginner level has no immediate communicative objective. A big contradiction between what ...
