Communicative Teaching of a Foreign Language and its Practical Significance

Abstract

Recently, the concept of "communicativeness" and "communicative approach" in teaching have become especially popular in the field of foreign language studies. In foreign methodological literature, this concept is referred to as Communicative language teaching (CLT) or Communicative approach. In a broad sense, these terms denote such an approach in learning a foreign language, in which communication, the process of interaction with a speech partner is both a means and a goal of learning. This article focuses on these issues.
