IMPLEMENTING COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

In recent decades, teachers of second languages in many countries, including Ukraine, have been encouraged to use an approach known as communicative language teaching. This approach advocates the development of communicative competence as a primary goal through the extensive use of the second language as a means of communication during classroom lessons. The authors analyze the essence of communicative language teaching and suggest some ways of incorporating this approach into second language teaching.
