1.Introdaction
TheoriginsoftheCommunicativeLanguageTeachingaretobefoundinthechangesintheBritishlanguageteachingtraditiondatingfromthelate1960s.Inthelatesixties,thecurrentsituationalapproachwasquestioned.Britishappliedlinguisticsbegantoemphasizethefundamentaldimensionoflanguageteachingatthattime-thefunctionalandcommunicativepotentialoflanguage.ScholarslikeChristopherCandlinandHenryWiddowsondrewontheworkofBritishfunctionallinguisticssuchasJohnFirth,andHalliday,AmericanworkinsocioliguiticislikeDellHymesaswellasworkinphilosophyandargueforfocusinlanguageteachingoncommunicativeproficiencyratherthanonmeremasteryofstructures.
In1971,agroupofexpertsbegantoinvestigatethepossibilityofdevelopinglanguagecoursesonaunit-creditsystem.Atthattime,Wilkins,aBritishlinguistproposedafunctionalorcommunicativesyllabusforlanguageteaching.Heattemptedtodemonstratethesystemsofmeaningthatlaybehindthecommunicativeusesoflanguage.Hedescribedtwotypesofmeanings,thenotionalcategoriesandcategoriesofcommunicativefunctions.HehadhisideaspublishedinNotionalSyllabus(Wilkins1976).
Chomskyhaddemonstrated,inSyntacticStructures(1957),thatthecurrentstandardstructuraltheoriesoflanguagewereincapableofaccountingforthefundamentalcharacteristicoflanguage—thecreativityanduniquenessofindividualsentences.Consequently,anewlanguageteachingapproachisneededthatnotonlyshouldemphasizeonmeremasteryofstructuresbutalsooncommunicativeproficiency.
CommunicativeLanguageApproach(CLA)isasystemofteachingmethodthattakeslanguagefunctionasthekeylinktocultivatestudents,communicativeability.Thetheoreticaloriginofthisapproachcanbetracedbacktotheworkofanthropologicallinguists(e.g.Hymes,1972)andthefunctionallinguist(e.g.Halliday,1973),whotaketheviewthatlanguageisforinteractionandcommunicationandlanguagehasfunctionsrelatedtosociety.Inthislight,languagestudyhastolookattheuse

CommunicativeLanguageTeaching(orCommunicativeApproach)isanapproachtoforeignorsecondlanguageteachingwhichemphasizesthatthegoaloflanguageteachingiscommunicativecompetence.Communicativelanguageteachingcanbeunderstoodasasetofprinciplesaboutthegoalsoflanguageteaching,howlearnerslearnalanguage,thekindsofclassroomactivitiesthatbestfacilitatelearning,andtherolesofteachersandlearnersintheclassroom.AlthoughCLTisregardedbymanylinguistsandteachersasthemosteffectiveapproachamongthosecurrentlyusedinELT,thequestionofwhetheritisadaptableforEnglishlanguageteachinginChinaisstillancontroversialissuethathasarousedlotsofheateddiscussions.
