The communicative approach aims to make communication the goal of language teaching. It focuses on developing students' communicative competence through activities where students use language authentically and meaningfully to interact. Some key principles are that learning involves using language to communicate, fluency is important, and communication integrates different language skills. The teacher takes the role of facilitator rather than just instructor, and errors are tolerated as students practice communicating.
