There are two rules for commucative language teaching :
1.Teacher’s role
The teacher has to assume the role of a facilitator or monitor,
rather then simply being the model for correct speech and
the one with the primary responsibility of making students
produce plenty of error-free sentences. The teacher has to
develop a different view of students errors and his/her own
role in facilitating language learning.
2.Learner’s role
In the CLT, learners have to participate in classroom activities
that are based on a cooperative rather than in a individualistic
approach to learning. Students have to become comfortable
with listening to their peers in pair or group work tasks, rather
than relying on the teachers for a model.

Conclution
Conclusions

The process of natural communication will develop the learners’ communicative

competence. The teacher in teaching speaking should maximize the learners ‘exposure
to natural communication by providing them with appropriate materials to stimulate
them to speak that focus on the use of language, not on the usage.

The students’ tasks and materials applied refer to problem solving oriented that develop
more their language activities to be their language creativity. In CLT, communicative
competence must be the basis of teaching activities in which teacher not only pays
attention to verbal communication but also non- verbal communication that is practiced
well. Finally, the speaking teachers should create other innovative and creative
techniques for developing communicative competence in teaching speaking.
