Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emerged in the 1970s, focusing on developing communicative competence rather than just grammar and vocabulary. It employs various classroom strategies like role-play, group work, and discussions, with teachers acting as facilitators and students as active participants. While CLT improves fluency and promotes collaboration, it can present challenges in assessment and may not cover grammar in depth.

PRESENTATION
By Jaivelis González
ORIGIN
🔹 Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emerged in the 1970s, primarily
influenced by the growing understanding of language and communication. Traditional
methods focused heavily on grammar rules and vocabulary memorization, often
neglecting the practical use of language. As the field of linguistics evolved,
particularly with the advent of theories from scholars like Noam Chomsky and Dell
Hymes, educators began to recognize the importance of communication in learning a
language. CLT was developed as a response to these insights, emphasizing the need
for learners to use language effectively in real-life situations.
DEFINITION
Communicative Language Teaching is an approach
that prioritizes the development of communicative
competence. This means that it not only focuses on
linguistic skills, such as grammar and vocabulary, but
also on pragmatic and sociolinguistic skills. In
essence, CLT prepares students to use the language
in various social contexts, ensuring they can
communicate effectively and appropriately.
