Communicative language learning
 Edit   Communicative language teaching  (CLT) emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. Despite a number of criticisms, it  continues to be popular, particularly in  Japan ,  Taiwan , a nd Europe. In India CBSE ( Central Board of Secondary Education) has adopted this approach in its affiliated schools.   The  task-based language learning  approach to CLT has gained ground in recent years. Proponents believe CLT is important for developing and improving speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills, and that it prevents students' merely listening passively to the teacher without interaction.Dogme is a similar communicative approach that encourages teaching without published textbooks, instead focusing on conversational communication among the learners and the teacher.
