Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) focuses on meaningful communication rather than grammatical structure. It emphasizes using language communicatively through tasks and interaction between students. CLT aims for communicative competence and fluency over accuracy. While CLT improves student interest and develops language skills, it may not provide enough correction for beginners and does not ensure accuracy in pronunciation and grammar.
