In the past, the aim of language
teaching or learning was for the students to master the form of the language. However,
in this age of communication, modern language teaching method provides great
emphasis for communication and trains individuals who will finally be able to
use the language for communicative purposes. Equipping students for
communicative skills that enable them to use the language in the real world is
the primary goal of communicative language teaching. According to Wilkins (1976),
as cited in Macaro, Vander plank, and Murphy (2010), communicative language
teaching developed in 1970s on communicative functions, grammatical notions and
English for Specific Purposes.
