摘要

Since the 1970s. the Communicative Approach has been introduced into the field of EFL in China. From then on. EFL experts, teacher trainers and textbook compilers have made enormous effort to reform ELT in areas such as teacher training,course development and classroom practice.For a while.Communicative Approach has been regarded as the only best method to language teaching because of its proposals and principles like authentic material, learner-centeredness and taskbased teaching model. However. nowadays, there are still some traditional textbooks used in many colleges and universities.Many of the contents are not authentic and the exercises are not aimed to develop students' competence to use language for communication. Does it mean that we can't adopt the Communicative Approach to deal with the traditional material?Through the author's own experience, it can be concluded that the Communicative Approach is also applicable to the teaching of reading course even with the traditional textbooks.
