Competency-based language teaching (CBLT) focuses on the outcomes of learning rather than instructional processes. According to Richards and Rodgers, CBLT applies the principles of competency-based education to language teaching. In competency-based education, the emphasis is placed on what students can do with their knowledge rather than on the instructional techniques or classes themselves. CBLT aims to specify clear learning outcomes for language learners and to demonstrate what they can do with their language skills.
