How Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Is Being Used In Kurdistan?

Abstract

Learning a language throughout a communicative approach is believed to be more effective as a procedure of teaching a foreign language such as English language. It is believed that the communicative approach assists learners to learn a language successfully by having them to communicate the real meaning.  In Kurdistan, schools relay a lot on CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) method as a new and effective way of teaching languages. Through this research, it has been advised to see CLT as an approach for teaching English as a Foreign language (EFL) in Kurdistan rather than as a method. In the current sunrise textbook that is being taught in Kurdistan schools are not merely CLT method based textbook but are a mixture of different communicative approaches which are seen in the examined activities in section Three. Overall, the textbook introduces English as a communicative mechanism to be used inside and outside the classroom with confidence in many aspects of life and give teachers an opportunity to try different teaching approaches that suits their students’ understanding, motivation, and communication with the target language.
