COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH IN TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Abstract

The old ways of teaching language were seen to be ineffective. It was stated that their methods were ineffective in teaching students to communicate because contexts were lost. Even without acceptable social standards, gestures, or expressions, the pupils were not learning enough realistic, entire language4, because traditional practices did include such information5. In conclusion, it is strongly urged that context be included in language training. As a result, proponents of CLT argue that teaching language should focus on developing students' 'Communicative Competence.' Apart from identifying which language should be taught in the classroom, communicative competence implies that language should be taught with all other aspects of communication. Linguistic, sociocultural, actional, strategic, and discourse competence are the most common communicative components in language teaching today.
