    Balancing participation in foreign language classes with the communicative approach: addressing dominance and passivity
    (Видавнича група «Наукові перспективи», 2024) Kornytska, Yuliia Anatolyivna; Haidenko, Yuliia Oleksiivna
    The communicative approach is widely recognized as one of the most effective methods for ESL training, enhancing both individual learner autonomy and group interaction skills through discussions, role-playing, and collaborative projects. This method encourages learners to set personal goals, make decisions, and self-regulate, promoting independent and critical thinking, thus supporting both language acquisition and personal development. Despite its advantages, the communicative approach poses challenges, particularly in managing uneven participation where dominant students overshadow their introverted peers, affecting class atmosphere and communicative competence. This study aims to investigate and address these challenges by identifying effective strategies to balance participation, creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. A comprehensive literature analysis was conducted to understand the reasons behind dominant and passive behaviours, their impact on class dynamics, and strategies to address them. Key findings suggest that confidence levels, prior educational experiences, and personality traits significantly influence student behaviour. Effective strategies identified include structured group activities with role assignments, mutual support agreements, regularly changing group compositions, and clear criteria for oral comments. These strategies aim to mitigate the dominance of active students while encouraging contributions from quieter members, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Data were collected through systematic observations and surveys in ESP classes at the National Technical University of Ukraine. Statistical analyses assessed changes in student engagement, revealing a more balanced participation rate by the end of the study. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the implemented strategies in enhancing educational outcomes and improving class dynamics. Despite research limitations, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on effective ESL training practices, offering practical solutions for educators to manage diverse classroom dynamics.
