Communicative language teaching differs from all the previous teaching approaches.It emphasises to teach learners how to use a language as well as teaching the language itself.Knowledge of register and language functions are important.Register means the formality of the language we use,what language to use in which context.Language functions might be confusing for learners at first.They may have difficulty to understand the function of the statement.For instance, if someone offers a drink and the response to it is "I'm working." then there might be confusion in understanding the function which is to refuse the offer, because it is less obvious.
The main qualities of communicative language learning can be listed as:
- For effective communication we need to know both the language itself and how to use it.
- Learners best learn a language when they actively use it.
- Learners benefit most from activities that provide meaningful communication.It makes it easier for them to use their additional language in unrehearsed context in real life.
- Teachers are facilitators rather than instructors.
