How to develop communicative activities
People engage in communication because they want to say something to each other, they have some communicative purpose and, from their language store, they select and use the forms of expression they consider to be appropriate for the particular situation. People engage in communication because they want to say something to each other, they have some communicative purpose and, from their language store, they select and use the forms of expression they consider to be appropriate for the particular situation.
From these generalizations about the nature of communication, we can obtain the following characteristics of communicative activities:
I. Learners are motivated to do them; therefore, they are usually dealing with a variety of language, either receptively or productively; II. Learners usually have some kind of communicative purpose, and their attention is centered on the content of what is being said or written and not the language form that is being used;
III. While learners are engaged in the communicative activity, the teacher usually intervene, for example, by telling them that they are making mistakes, insisting on accuracy, or asking them to repeat aspects of the activity;
IV. The teacher may participate in the activities, while also watching and listening in order to be able to give feedback.

Language Development
A child creates first his child tongue, then his mother tongue, in interaction with that little coterie of people who constitute his meaning group. In this sense, language is a product of the social process. A child learning language is at the same time learning other things through language — building up a picture of the reality that is around him and inside him. (Halliday M. A. K. Language as Social Semiotic: The Social Interpretation of Language and Meaning, London: University Park Press. 1978.)

The Disappearing Honeybee
- Honeybees do more than just make honey. They fly around and pollinate flowers, plants, and trees. Our fruits, nuts, and vegetables rely.....................these pollinators. One third.....................America’s food supply is pollinated.....................the honeybee.
Have you seen or heard a honeybee lately? Bees are mysteriously disappearing in many parts of the world. Most people don’t know about this problem. It is called “colony collapse disorder” (CCD). Some North American beekeepers lost 80% of their hives from 2006-2008. Bees in Italy and Australia are disappearing too.
The disappearance of the honeybee is a serious problem. Can you imagine never eating another blueberry? What about almonds and cherries? Without honeybees food prices will skyrocket. The poorest people always suffer the worst when there is a lack of food.
This problem affects other foods besides fresh produce. Imagine losing your favourite ice cream! Haagen Daaz is a famous ice cream company. Many of their flavours rely on the hard working honeybee. In 2008, Haagen Daaz began raising money for CCD. They also funded a garden at the University of California called The Haven. This garden helps raise awareness about the disappearing honeybee and teaches visitors how to plant for pollinators.
Donating money to research is the most important thing humans can do to save the honeybee. Some scientists blame CCD on climate change. Others think pesticides are killing the bees. Commercial bee migration may also cause CCD. Beekeepers transport their hives from place to place in order to pollinate plants year round.
