Professor Jack C. Richards - Communicative language teaching 

You are supposed to take notes on difficult topics. He is describing communicative language teaching, not communicative pedagogy teaching.

@@thomasmccormack4796 I was sharing my view, my personal opinion. If I taught my students just reading a pre-outlined lesson my students wouldn't learn as much, compared to when I speak in an way that's engaging, not reading a speech instead you help pull the students into the lesson. And they tend to learn much more. His information was concise and correct 100%. But the difference between it being read in a book and this video = no difference. A video format isn't meant in my opinion to be information read outloud. That's the purpose of Audio books. In my opinion I think 🤔 a video should be used because it's ability to capture the students attention in a kinesthetic learning style. But if the visual side isn't helpful 😕 😪. It can actually have a reverse effect. Causing the student to struggle to give the lesson thier full attention. But again this just my opinion that I've formed over the 5+ years of teaching students with a kinesthetic learning style. (Online English Classes)

i'm watching it for the same reason

I'm currently taking a course called "Teaching Methods" (my second time taking a methods course for education) and it basically discusses various types of teaching styles. Specifically for languages, there are various ways to teach a language: Do you focus on grammar, or communication? Do you teach via drills, or through role-playing? Depending on the course's instructor, these methods classes can be similar to browsing through pinterest and finding what methods you like, or as structured as learning each style and discussing the pros/cons of each. All of these involve lesson plan creation on the students' part. hopefully this answer helped a lil bit.

His books contain the same information that he provides here. Richards, J. C., & Rodgers, T. S. (2014). Approaches and methods in language teaching. Cambridge university press.

Really?

I couldn't stop staring at them! I don't think they look bad at all. They just grab your attention!

I think you ought to use it as one of many different approaches on the field.

It's very practical when it comes to (a) putting ss in groups, (b) presenting a topic of your lesson, and (c) helping ss notice their inaccuracies (error correction at the end of a lesson), but you need to use it in combination with Lexical Approach, meaning you need to draw your ss' attention to the words which are imprisoned between the pages of a book. In this case, CLT is useless as it provides very few pieces of advice how to deal with vocabulary that are not related to the current topic of a lesson.

@@antoninozunino7570 it's really hard to determine how to use this in practice. This is probably needed for authors of Student's Books but not for teacher. I am completely confused.
