BACKGROUND

Many learners are not able to speak English well because they seldom to practice it in their days caused of nervous. They feel afraid to make some errors in speaking English so, they decide to be quiet. They are afraid their friends will mock them when they make errors in talking. Using communicative language teaching is very effective to improve the learners speaking skill. this method makes students brave to speak. This method needs the speaker to be active because if the speakers are passive those activities cannot be entered. Pronunciation and vocabulary is also the most problem for common English learners. Both must be mastered by learner in other that they can communicate. Without English vocabulary learners cannot communicate in English. And without pronunciation mastery the misunderstanding between learners can be occurred. So pronunciation is very important. Many learners have problem in vocabularies and pronunciations even many vocabularies they know but they still do not know how to say those words correctly. Indeed pronunciation has rules that can be learnt. Besides that many learners who is not motivated to talk English. This problem can be solved by giving some effective methods to them by their teacher. Here English teacher is challenged to help students like that to give some effective methods to improve their speaking skill. Speaking is the most important skill in oral communication. And oral communication is the most often used to communicate by people. If someone cannot speak he cannot be communicate to another.

Communicative

approach.

communicative approach, language is primarily a tool of communication. This method focuses in language teaching on communicative proficiency rather than on mere mastery of structures. T h u s , l e a r n i n g a language means learning to perform communicative speech acts with it. The emphasis in Communicative Language Teaching on the processes of communication, rather than mastery of language. Now, we couldnt be described as 'learning to use' English, but 'using English to learn it.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
The communicative approach is a learner centred approach. This approach gives the learner not only grammatical competence but also a social skill as to what to say. How to say, when to say and where, in order to satisfy his daily needs as larger aim. In this approach, apart from fluency, accuracy and appropriateness are equally important. Thus an effective use of language needs to produce grammatically well formed. This approach tries to develop both the accuracy and fluency from the very beginning of language learning. In this approach the role of teacher is that of a co-participant not that of an authoritarian master. Teacher should provide all the resources necessary for communication to be effective in every context. Communicative approach stresses the purpose of writing and audience of it. So teachers using this approach, have extended the readership. Teachers specify readers outride the classroom. The goal of communicative approach is to make learners communicatively competency. In this approach the teacher is seen as a facilitators of his students, learning. Communicative approach is based on the idea that the aim of learning foreign language is to gain communicative competency. In this approach learner have to knowledge of the rules of use of language to generate language appropriately for certain situations. He should have also the knowledge of the use of techniques to communicate effectively. This approach draws attention toward on the use of language in every day life. Communicative Language teaching emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. The "term communicate" meant to express or convey the ideas verbally or non-verbally. This approach emphasizes the communicative capability of the learners. In English language teaching, the teacher tries to develop communicative ability in students or learners. Characteristics of Communicative Approach : 1 Communicative approach emphasis on communication of language because it plays important part in development of sociality of human creature. 2 The message or thoughts expressed in communication are always in form of function so this approach is very useful. 3 If this approach is used in classroom activities then it will be very useful for leaner because in many classes language is taught as to pass examination only so this approach enables students to develop communicative ability which is very important activity of life.

4 Through communicative approach, the leaner learn target language as he learns mother tongue. It means that the atmosphere of English language is created so that student could learn English directly. 5 Communicative approach enable student to learn language naturally because the environment of target language learning is created. 6 All the teaching learning materials are prepared according to child attitude and interest or individual difference so that child could learn language easily and effectively. This approach is learner centred. 7 In communicative approach every where, in schools, classroom, on stages, and seminars, we can say that the learner are taught as a native person learn his language. 8 The students should be provided real life situations. Creativeness of role play, simulation, project~ should be produced in students so that they could connect these all with real life situation. 9 In communicative approach, the emphasis on active mode of learning is given. Thus it makes students active in their activities including pair work and group work. 10 In this approach the visual aids are permitted. These aids help to provoke practical communication. They help to motivate and focus pupils' attention. 11 The language is never static: it is dynamic. This approach helps to learner to use language and according to accepted form and usage.

Principles:
1 How to use the language is basic principle of this approach. The communication is soul of the human lives. People use communication for verbal communication. 2 Communicative approach is based on natural acquisition of language. so this the second principle of this approach. Natural Acquisition is principle of this approach. When learner learns any language naturally then that is real and authentic. 3 The teaching should be related to real life situation so that students could understand the reality of the life. The teaching without relating real life situation is useless and vague. 4 We should not take language as a subject. In school it is taught as a subject. Student study it only to pass examination but it not proper. Teacher should teach it as a skill.

He should make his students to speak perfectly so that they could use it in their real life. So it should be accepted as skill. 5 In this approach teacher is a main hero and his role is different than conventional teacher teaching other subjects. The teacher should teach with heart but not the brain.

Merits :
1 Main function of communicative approach is to develop communication competences, so they are provided with optimum opportunities to use the language. 2 This approach create communicative environment among learners, teachers, and society. They are motivated to form the bridge of communication and to make use of real life language, in other words language in use. 3 This approach is child or learner centred. So it is very scientific. All the teaching materials are prepared according to mentality and interest of the students. 4 In this approach the modem methods are used make teaching very efective and interested. 5 In this approach every leaner are active during teaching because there are interaction among learner and teacher. They communicate verbally and non-verbally to each other, so every student is active. 6 This approach provides sufficient opportunity to students for practice of communication with other students or people .

PROCEDURE 1. The teacher tells each participant an adjective, one-by-one, going around in a circle. 2. Each student must say a noun to go with the adjective. 3. the student must think up and say full sentence using both the adjective and noun together 4. the student, next to him/her, has to give a question about the students sentence 5. the student should answer the questions and again the next student should give another question related to the answer for example, expensive expensive present S1 : I bought my sister an expensive present S2 : where did you buy it? S1 : I bought it at jamtoz S2 : where was it ? S1 : at STM atas 6. If the students enjoy this activity, get them to make up their own list of new adjectives and do the whole thing together on their own.
