Real-Life Communication: CLT prepares learners for practical language use in conversations, travel, and work. Active Learning: CLT encourages active participation, creating an engaging classroom environment. Fluency Development: CLT prioritizes communication, fostering natural language expression and fluency.

Role of the teacher

Teachers monitor students' interactions, provide feedback on language use, and address any misunderstandings or errors that may arise during communication. Create a Supportive Environment Assessment in CLT often focuses on students' ability to communicate effectively in real-life situations, rather than just their grammatical accuracy.
