CLT

1.       CLT represents a reaction to previous methodological principles.   They support what was called “the development of communicative proficiency in the target language”, rather than knowledge of its structures.   Three main principles can be inferred from CLT practices:

a.       The communication principle: learning is promoted by activities involving real communication

b.      The task principle learning is enhanced through the use of activities in which language is employed for carrying out meaningful tasks.

c.       The meaningful principle: the learning process is supported by languaje which is meaningful to the student. Activities should consequently be selected according to how they involve the learner in authentic and meaningful language use.
