Ideas about good teaching emerged from one-off ethnographic observations of six ’communicative’ university English language classes in China and India. The lessons were all taught by non-native speakers in classes of between 25 and 45. Through analysis of the behaviour and physical environment of the culture of each classroom, it emerged that aspects of a popular view of ’communicative’ connected with groupwork, oral practice and teacher withdrawal may be questioned. Instead, cultural continuity between traditional and innovative forms emerges as an essential feature of successful communicative language teaching.
