The End of CLT

I feel that "The End of CLT" was a very biased and opinionated article.  "CLT

has always neglected one key aspect of language teaching—namely the context in which it takes place—and that the consequences of this are serious, to the extent that we need to demote CLT as our main paradigm, and adopt something more similar to what I term a Context Approach."  I really liked learning about the Communicative Language Teaching Approach, and actually didn't feel that it lacked in the importance of context.  I agree that the consequences of not including context are serious, because that delves into how something is more appropriate in this situation rather than that, etc.  However, after reading the article, I don't think I agree with it's position.  I felt that because I support the CLT approach, that I was attacked in the article in some way.  I also thought that it wasn't that effective in that the arguement against CLT was based off of assumptions.  For example, "The learning context may be claimed to be important, but since it is not top of the list of priorities, it is, in practice, considered as of relatively minor importance."  I might be misunderstanding this though!  I understand both approaches, the Context Approach and the Communicative Language Approach, but only in the way that it is portrayed in our previous read articles, not in this one.
