Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that emphasizes developing students' communicative competence as the goal of language learning. CLT aims to teach the four language skills through interaction in the target language using authentic texts. It focuses on enhancing students' personal experiences and linking classroom learning to language use outside of class. CLT involves students interacting with each other in roles as negotiators and joint problem-solvers, while teachers facilitate communication and act as independent group participants.
Among all the methods and approaches to language teaching there is one that may not have a strong basis on its Theory of Language but an excellent background on its Theory of Learning, the Natural Approach, based on the principles of the Theory of Language Acquisition proposed by Stephen Krashen.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Definition of CLT
Communicative Language Teaching is an
approach to foreign or second language
teaching which emphasises that the goal of
language learning is communicative
competence . According to the same

character
istics :
An emphasis on learning to communicate
through interaction in the target language
The introduction of authentic texts into
the learning situation
The provision of opportunities for
learners to focus, not only on language
but also on the learning process itself
An enhancement of the learner’s own
personal experiences as important
contributing elements to classroom
learning.
An attempt to link classroom language
learning with language activation outside
the classroom.
5. Learner Roles
The emphasis of CLT on the proccess of
communication leads to different roles of
learner . The role of learner as a negotiator
emerges from the role of joint negotiators
within the group . The learners are expected to
interact primarily with each other and
correction of errors may be absent or
infrequent .
6. Teacher roles
The teacher has main roles
Faciliate the communication proccess
between all participant in the classroom ,
and between these participants and the
various activities and texts
Closely related to the objectives of the first
roleand arises from it
Act as ‘an independent’ participant within
the learning teaching group
7. Meaning is paramount
Dialogues center around communicative functions
Contextualization is a basic premis
Language learning is to communicate
Effective communication is sought
Drills occur peripherally
Comprehensible pronounciation is sought
Any device which helps laerners is accepted students
attempt to communicate from the very beginning
L1 is accepted where it is feasible
Translation may be used
Reading and writing start from the first day
Student learn L2 through communication proccess
The features of CLT
8. Communicative competence is the goal
Linguistic variation is a central concept in materials
and methodology
The sequence is determined by consideration of
content , function , and meaning
The teacher helps learners to motivate them to work
with the language
Language is created through trial and errors
Fluency is the primary goal
Students interact with other people
The teacher can’t know what language the student
will use
The instrinsic motivation will spring from an interest in
what is being communicated
10. Conclusion
CLT is best considered an approach rather
than a method . It refers to a diverse set of
principles that reflect a communicative view
of language and language learning and that
can be used to support a wide variety of
classroom procedures .
