This did present us with a dilemma. After considerable deliberation, we decided that our priority should be the ‘situated understanding’ (Sakui 2004) of teachers, their perceptions of what the two terms meant, and how they were interpreted in practice. So, instead of de?ning ‘communicative’ ourselves, thereby contributing to the ‘millions if not billions of words’ already written, many of which will be familiar to ELT Journal subscribers, we elected to refer readers to two CHCauthors for their theoretical perspectives on the broad tenets of CLT (Hu 2002) and on the theoretical origins of the term (Hiep 2007), a survey, incidentally, which is rather more comprehensive than the one Grif?ths provides. We also had a fairly clear idea of whatwe meant by ‘traditional’ (see below), but not what teachers meant by it.
