In the past it was sufficient to focus only on structural accuracy when learning a language was an entirely academic advantage and an obsession to acquire a new language. But in today’s world, language learning is no longer considered a luxury but an obvious need. Students now have the world at their fingertips. They are experiencing that world through technology in a way that their parents and teachers never did. Today’s language classroom is vastly different from that of the mid- to late twentieth century. The focus is no longer on grammar, memorization and learning from rote, but rather using language and cultural knowledge as a means to connect to others around the globe.
Language teaching methods in the past were based on linguistic competence. The establishment of basic principles of communicative language teaching (CLT) was a reaction in opposition to them. CLT aims at developing and improving knowledge and skills that facilitate the learners to make their message effective and successful, since that is the main goal of communication, not the achievement of grammatical correctness. As a result, the modern trend is very much inclined towards oral practice too.
