Communicative Language Learning:

It is known as CLL. This method promotes different language skills but how it is used into the target language. In other words, the main objective of CLL is that students can learn to use the new language in real situations. For this reason, communicative competence is required because this exposes the knowledge about when and how to say what to whom. Also, communicative competence has a variety of elements which helps to students in the development of language. These elements are: authentic language, and authentic materials; both are very important in learning process. Moreover, the correct use of this method could be beneficial because to involve to learners into the specific social context where language is developed.  Another characteristic of CLL is how activities are prepared. There are three relevant stages information gap, choice, and feedback. These have certain features to allow a good communicative interaction among the students. At this point, the stages help to students learn some skills such as coherence and cohesion. I could say that these skills are significant because learners acquire new knowledge about the use of language into social context and culture. On the other hand, the teacher has an important function he or she is a facilitator. In this way, teachers or facilitators show a communicative plan where students should implement their communicative faculties. In conclusion, communicative language teaching is a good approach which helps to have an assertive communication.
