Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that emphasizes using the target language through interaction between students and instructors.

Key features include using authentic materials, engaging students in real communication, and developing fluency and accuracy. Principles of CLT are introducing authentic language whenever possible and giving students opportunities to express ideas through the target language at the discourse level in a social context.
