Communicative Language Teaching (11/10)

• CLT  (Communicative Language Teaching) represents a reaction to previous methodological principles.
• The support what was called “the development of communicative proficiency in the target language”, rather than knowledge of its structures.
• Three main principle can be inferred from CLT practices:

1. The communicative principle: learning is promoted by activities involving real communication.
2. The task principle: learning is enhanced through the use of activities in which language is employed for carrying out meaningful tasks.
3. The meaningfulness principle: the learning process is supported by language which is meaningful to the student. Activities should consequently be selected according to how well they involve the learner in authentic and meaningful language use.
