Communicative language teaching


An approach to language teaching that emphasizes these principles:



  • Students learn a language best through using it, not just by learning about it and
    memorizing rules and vocabulary.

  • In the classroom, students should participate in real communication about their
    own interests and experiences by using the target language.

  • Language learning should be linked to the kinds of communication students will
    need to do outside the classroom.

  • Teachers should use authentic texts and real-life language as much as possible.

  • Students should focus not only on the language itself, but on how they are
    learning it.

  • It’s all right to take chances and make mistakes. That’s how we learn.
