An example Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) class from Jeremy Harmer’s Book ‘The Practice of English Language Teaching’ with DVD Pack. We look at Rolf’s Lesson (Upper-Intermediate) as he tells a story about a British Christmas to teach grammar inductively. We give our expert opinion on the teaching in this demonstration CLT lesson.
What is Communicative Language Teaching?
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a teaching method that emphasizes developing learners’ ability to communicate effectively in the target language using authentic language in real-life situations. It focuses on holistic development of language skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with the goal of producing competent and confident communicators.
In the ELT (English Language Teachers): Under The Covers react series, expert teachers break down teaching scenes from movies, TV shows and viral videos of classroom clips – and react to them with a light-hearted spicy commentary on the teaching situations/practices shown within them.
