 I NTRODUCTION TO CLT.
The communicative lan-
guage teaching was found
in U.K looking for the func-
tional and communicative
potential of language. The
necessity of being success-
fully in real communica-
tion carries the creation of
a new theory that prioress-
es the oral language in-
stead of the written lan-
guage.
THEORY APPROACH
Theory of language as communication.
• Teachers needs to identify learn-
ers needs.
• Students learn a language
through using it to communi-
cate.
• The develop of fluency in com-
munication should be the goal
of classroom activities.
• Learn a language involves crea-
tivity from students and teacher.
• Trial and error are an important
part of the learning process.
