Communicative Language Teaching

This paper aims at emphasizing the significance of communicative language strategy in foreign language learning and teaching. It summarizes the background of communicative language teaching strategies, defines the concept of a language teaching strategy. Whether CLT should be considered an approach or a methodology is a more abstract debate and here I would like to deal with its more practical aspects. In fact, it is those very elements, and the name itself, which have been used to challenge the future relevance of CLT.
