The document discusses the communicative approach to language teaching. It emerged in the 1970s due to criticisms of prevalent linguistic theories' inability to explain real communication. The approach emphasizes interaction as both the means and goal of study. It gives five key features outlined by David Nunan in 1991, including learning through interaction and using authentic texts. Classroom activities under this approach include pair work, language exchanges, surveys, games, and information gaps. The approach also provides a framework for analyzing communicative tasks.
