Nowadays, teaching is a difficult and annoying task due to many factors, but teaching English in a classroom is even more annoying for most of the students. They do not see the importance of learning a target language and they just do not care about it. One reason for this is that teachers do not motivate them, teachers just give the content basing on structures and grammatical rules, what make students get bored and tired of studying those structures. Also, teachers do not base the contents on real life situations what makes English even boring. The idea of being a teacher is being creative, teachers need to be able of motivating students, giving functional contents and being willing of making changes. In order to do this, some approaches and methods allow teachers teach in more dynamic way within a classroom. One of those approaches is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which can be applied and used by EFL teachers. Richard and Rodgers points out that this is an approach to teach a target language where interact the learners and the learners’ experiences. In a way, this is truly important due to the fact allows students learn on their own and work with their personal experiences that help to learn a second language effectively. In addition, the instructional material used on this approach is really important and useful because is authentic and from-real life materials. This is what facilitates the students knowledge because the material is from realia thus they can work with that knowledge inside and outside the classroom. Another important aspect of CLT is that is focused on the Communicative Competence rather than the Linguistic Competence. According to Hymes (2006) states that the goal of the CLT is the communication, that is why, he highlighted the CC. He does not focus on the Linguistic Competence, because that is acquired through the time when the learners start learning on their own. To sum up, the CLT is a great option to use within a classroom in order to teach a target language effectively thus students learn in a better and dynamic way.
