Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop an English program based on nonviolent communication to improve students’ English communicative competence.
 Methods This program was developed based on the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stage. After being examined by an expert group, this program was conducted with 23 elementary school students.
 Results The study found that nonviolent communication relating to communicative competence could be associated with the 2015 revised curriculum. Secondly, according to the four components of nonviolent communication, communicative functions were categorized and the English program was designed in a way that nonviolent communication could be applied and practiced. Lastly, an example lesson plan was created and provided as guidance and executed in the classroom.
 Conclusions Based on the results, it was discovered that there is a possibility to adapt nonviolent communication to improve students’ communicative competence. Also, this study implied that this English program based on nonviolent communication could expand the scope of genuine communication. Further studies on nonviolent communication are required for English education.
