COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT)
Keywords:
CLT prioritizes interaction as both the process and ultimate goal of language learning. CLT prioritizes students' ability to communicate effectively and fluently in real situations.Abstract
Language is the very basis of human communication, and language teaching practices have evolved through time to accommodate new understandings of how people learn languages. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emerged in the 1970s as a reaction to traditional ways of teaching a language, particularly grammar-translation and audio-lingual methods.
