Abstract
This paper analyzed communicative language teaching (CLT) is a modern language teaching approach that puts emphasis on teaching languages holistically, based on meaningful communication and interaction. In CLT, languages are learned not only as skills but also as social behavior, by using tasks that learners would also do in the real world. New kinds of activities, such as role plays, games, debates, and discussions, are used, along with more interactive social forms, where students are asked to share their opinions in pairs or groups. An approach to language instruction that prioritizes target language interaction as each the overarching goal moreover as an avenue for accomplishing that goal. This approach focuses primarily on the development of students’ communicative competence in a meaningful cultural context.
