dc.description.abstract The research study advocates the use of the communicative approach in the teaching and learning of English Second Language (ESL) in Grade eight. In 1998, the re-birth of education has been introduced through Curriculum 2005 to advance teaching and learning in South African schools. Above all, the Outcomes-based Education (OBE) approach enhances the teaching and learning of ESL with modem, effective and communicative strategies in Grade eight (Senior Phase), the General Education and Training (GET) band. The OBE way of teaching and learning has moved away from a content-based curriculum, to a task-based curriculum. ESL teaching and learning IS a process, a shift from educator-centredness to a learner-centred approach. The educator facilitates the ESL activities by means of effective strategies while learners participate proactively. The process of each task-based activity is directed towards the capability task, and is characterised by the end products to show the Critical and Specific Outcomes in creating a meaningful learning. It is through the communicative approach that the use of learning support material in ESL activities derives a meaningful learning environment. Thus, the communicative approach, is the means through which the communicative strategies are utilised and competent learners happen to be developed en_US
