  • When considering the question of �traditional� versus �communicative�, the first essential is definition. This article first of all attempts to clarify these ill-defined concepts before considering the degree to which they may or may not be dichotomous. The results of a small-scale study are reported involving a survey of teaching approaches employed by a group of Turkish teachers who were then asked to comment on the factors which they felt constrained their teaching practice. The article concludes by considering underlying assumptions relating to teaching approaches before suggesting areas for further research.
