These days the English teaching is emphasized the improvement of the linguistic competence as well as communicative competence in real situations.
According to this trend, the seventh curriculum started in 2001 is emphasized English teaching for improving communicative competence through student-based, task-based language teaching program rather than accuracy-based.
But until now, the study on the teachers' perceptions and teaching methods of improving communicative competence have not been studied much.
The purpose of this study is to suggest the methods of ideal language teaching for the improvement of communicative skills.
Therefore, I researched the teachers' perceptions of the communicational improvement, collected data in the classroom observation and analyzed how the teaching learning activities are conducted for improving learner's English speaking skill through dialogues by means of questionnaire
As the questionnaire investigation found, many teachers believe English class should be designed to improve fluency and language use for communicative skills. However, even though they feel the necessity in their existing teaching methods, they do not apply and use communicative methods in their own. Therefore, their classes are for the most part teacher-dominated. English teachers are of the opinion that there is an urgent need for the development and supply of teaching materials for better English teaching and they need training related to teaching speaking skills.
Second, the various methods and activities to give an interest the students of language teaching according to learners' level were shown to be insufficient. For example, the step of introduction only consisted of simple greetings and confirming the last class(6.6%) and the rest of class mainly consisted of development and practice steps(50%).
Third, the result of classroom observation is that teachers have to select the best way to elevate English communication ability such as free talking based on dialogue, role play, information gap activity, making a dialogue, etc and the traditional activity such as grammar explanation, Phrases drill, interpretation are not good way for fluency.
In summary, the teachers' perception research and observation in the classroom help us recognize that the current English teaching skills needs to change.
Therefore, teachers have to apply the various developed teaching-learning material and injection methods which are tried not by teacher-based, but by activity-based and task-based learning.
Along with these, when the teachers study teaching skills constantly supplied the information of applicable methods in the classroom and teachers' efforts for their own quality improvement are increased, the English communication ability of the students will also be improved.
