1. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) APPROACH Compiled by Group 4

2. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) APPROACH Definition: The Communicative Approach, also known as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), is a language teaching approach that emphasizes the ability to communicate meaningfully rather than simply mastering grammar rules Characteristics of CLT: It emphasizes student-centeredness. This means that learners are given more responsibility and an active role in the learning process. The main goal of CLT is to develop communicative competence, which places more emphasis on fluency rather than merely accuracy. Learning activities in CLT are usually in the form of discovery learning and group work, instead of only teacher-fronted examples. CLT is also influenced by a humanistic perspective, which views language as an expression of personal meaning, not merely grammatical rules or cultural standards. According to Thornbury (2003), CLT considers that meaning is more important than structure. Thus, although grammar is important, learners are still encouraged to communicate confidently.

3. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) METHODS 1. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT / TBL) Learning is organized around tasks (problem-solving, projects, role-plays). Students use the target language to achieve specific goals. Example: planning a holiday, conducting a job interview, or solving a mystery. 2. Content-Based Instruction (CBI) Language is learned through meaningful content (e.g., science, history, culture). The focus is on understanding and using language while learning subject matter. 3. Project-Based Learning (PBL) Learners work on long-term projects (e.g., making a class magazine, designing a campaign). Encourages collaboration, creativity, and authentic language use. 4. Cooperative Language Learning (CLL) Group work and pair work are central. Emphasizes social interaction and peer teaching to build communicative competence.

4. COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) TECHNIQUE Technique under the Communicative Approach : Role Play Focus: Practicing real-life communication and improving fluency. Activities: Acting out situations (e.g., ordering food in a restaurant, shopping for clothes, at the hotel). Pair Work Focus: Encouraging interaction and collaborative learning. Activities: Practicing dialogues, asking and answering questions, problem-solving in pairs. Repetition Drills Focus: Building accuracy, pronunciation, and automaticity. Activities: Repeating vocabulary, phrases, or sentence patterns after the teacher.

5. CONCLUSION Integrating the Communicative Approach, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and role-play helps teachers create lessons that are meaningful and effective. Studies show that role-play within TBLT ( Waluyo, 2019 ) can improve communicative competence, while research by Yan and Lowell (2024) proves that task-based role-play increases authenticity and learner confidence. Other findings ( Zulianingrum, 2025; Dimastoro & Bharati, 2022) also confirm that role-play builds vocabulary, fluency, and confidence across different learning styles. Overall, this combination supports both fluency and accuracy, motivates students, and prepares them to use the target language in real-life situations.
