ANALYSYS OF THE CLT IN TERMS OF COVERAGE OF LANGUAGE SKILLS

Abstract

The article scrutinizes the Communictive Language Teaching method in terms of coverage of the language skills. Compared to other language learning methodologies, the CLT encompasses all four language skills. However, speaking and writing skills are developed in colloquial layer, not in academic layer. It means that the words prevailing in colloquial speech including contractions, jargons, argos are  extensively used in CLT. It has been revealed that the role of authentic materials, particularly in the development of listening skill is inevitable. The movies, TV shows, song clips and other entertaining programmes with subtitles help a lot while developing listening and speaking skills.
