A modern approach to communicative language teaching in English classes in high school

摘要

In this article we observe various methods of teaching foreign language in oral form within a certain situation. We claim, that when learning a second language, in addition to phonological and lexical-grammatical knowledge, students need to master the ways of communicating with other people. We stress on the need to form an integrated approach in the preparation and realization of classes and tasks for the effective development of students’ oral speech skills. We also examine the methodology known as Communicative Language Teaching or CLT and explore its origins and evolution since it was first proposed in the 1970s, and how it has influenced approaches to language teaching today. The research consists of the 6 main sections (abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion and references).
