Methods and techniques
In the foreign language learning process we use grammatical exercises along with the creativity developing exercises. All definitions in these directions are focus on the communicative competences. Focusing on the communicative competences in the foreign language learning process is considered to be the bases of European Language Union’s language teaching program. Practical exercises are supported by the interconnected communicative competences like (reading, listening) and exercises for developing speaking skills (writing, speaking). That’s why all the foreign language learners should be able to take an active part in the cultural activities of the nation whose language is being taught, and that will help them to master the language easily and in a short time.
