CLT origins, can be found in changes in theBritish Language teaching tradition in the1960s.
Back then, the Situational Language teachingapproach was the norm.
SLT consisted in internalizing the structuresof a language.
Mostly, learning grammar rules withoutvocabulary development.

The SLT did not fillthe need to developlanguage competence in Language teaching.
A group of experts saw the need to focus incommunicative proficiency rather than
mastery of structures. (Richards, J.C. &Rodgers, T.S. p.64)
Sandra J. Savignon, Christopher Candlin, D.A.Wilkins and Henry Widdowson along with
others promoted the CLT approach. Along with the changes in Europe it helped to
reform the language teaching.

During research, I realized that my elementaryteachers rarely used this teaching approach.
I rarely got any oral practice in my Englishclass.
Therefore, to my future students I plan to usethis approach so that they can lose the fear ofspeaking a second language.
I will help them overcome their fears and
boost their confidence by the differenttechniques available.
