Resumen
The Chilean Ministry of Education frameworks the teaching of English, by and
large, in the Communicative Approach. This study attempts to determine the degree of
congruence between the methodologies used within English classrooms and the tenets
proposed by the Communicative Approach, in three municipal schools in Hualpén. To this
end, data was collected from three English language teachers and five students randomly
selected from each the three teachers’ classes. A semi-structured interview was used with
the former participants and a focus interview with the latter. Also, a content analysis
procedure was used to carefully examine the teachers’ lesson plans. The results suggest that
despite the use of different proposals of the Communicative Approach, communicative
competence is not being enhanced among students who do not have the possibility to use
the English language as a communicative tool.
