It is always desirable to practice language in the classroom as it is used in the real world| since students will have to use the target language in real communication outside the classroom. However| it is not always possible to do so because classroom is after all different from the outside world no matter how hard you try to simulate the real world situation. And it is not always necessary to do so. Language teaching is conducted at several stages. At the drilling stage| when the focus is on language form| the “real world” does not have to be practiced. But when the focus is on meaning and students are engaged in communication activities| the “real world” practice does matter much. It is where the students learn to use the target language for real communication| and to use it appropriately.</p>
