Abstract
2013 Curriculum now has been implemented so widely in Indonesia, especially in English teaching and learning process. It delineates some focal points like student-centred active learning and contextual teaching which hopefully brings the students to learn more effectively. Furthermore, there is an apparent unanimity that the curriculum may lead the meaningfulness of learning. In relation to English teaching approach, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is likened to the latest curriculum. CLT emphasises on the context and authenticity. Thus, this approach should go along with 2013 Curriculum. This study aims at finding out the implementation of CLT in line with the curriculum, since many previous studies alert some problems happening while CLT is applied not in ESL as its birthplace, yet in EFL context. In fact, Indonesia perceives English as foreign language. But, there are still few studies related to this approach. After observation and document tracking are conducted, it is concluded that Scientific Approach and Communicative Language Teaching Approach are able to blend to create more effective communicative learning.

Summary
Teaching practice is reliant on the theory used. When a teacher has broad insight on the teaching theories, it can be assumed that the teaching and learning process will always be fun and varying. This can be understood as the teacher can adjust the teaching methods with the students’ interest, their conditions or moods, the availability of media, etc. English teaching is one of the teaching practices having bunches of interesting theories. They cover what both the students and the teacher need. Born from the theories, some approaches and methods give various choices for English teachers. The approaches as well as methods offered are such as Silent Way, Desuggestopedia, Content-Based Instruction, and Communicative Language Teaching
