Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
CLT is a functional approach to language learning. In 1972, this language course was proposed in Europe. The main aim is to develop the communicative competency of the learner. His need of understanding and expressing in the L2 is the main focus of this method.
OBJECTIVES OF CLT:
1. To produce effective communicative competency in learners.
2. The focus is on meanings and functions of the language.
3. More importance on the learner and his learning.
4. Language is acquired in CLT.
5. The teacher is a facilitator in language acquisitions.
6. Involve the learner in the learning process thro’ problem solving, tasks, participation and interaction.
7. All the four LSRW skills are equally treated.
It is an eclectic approach. CLT involves many classroom activities like group work, pair work, language games, role play, question-answer sessions. It is not confined to any set of text books. The learners are mostly introduced task based and problem solving situations.
