- Abstract
Communicative approach, that is communicative language teaching, has been used for many years as the most comprehensive approach in teaching foreign languages. This approach was accepted a long time ago in teaching English, but the demand for new ideas which will improve teaching is always present. Besides the description of the communicative approach to language teaching, this paper pays special attention to group work, as one of the most important techniques in communicative language teaching. The aim of this paper is to give insight into students‟ perceptions towards group work when learning English. Research was conducted by means of a questionnaire administered among the students of the Business School of Applied Studies in Blace upon completing the Business English course in the winter semester of 2014/2015. The questionnaire examines the students‟ attitudes towards group work. After the analysis of the results and a discussion, it was concluded that some of the advantages of group work are creating team spirit, developing creativity, as well as improving communicative competence, while the negative aspects of this type of a teaching method are unequal participation of all the group members, as well as the time necessary for organizing activities in group work. Finally, several pedagogical implications which could be significant for the improvement of teaching a foreign language have been proposed.
