Abstract

The discipline of Communicative Language Training (CLT), based on CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), emphasizes real-life communication, fluency development, and student-centered learning. It trains educators to implement interactive, task-based methodologies that prioritize meaningful language use while integrating speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. CELTA-based CLT focuses on guided discovery, context-driven instruction, and effective error correction strategies, ensuring lessons are engaging and communicative. Teachers learn to balance fluency with accuracy, adapt to diverse learner needs, and create dynamic classroom environments.
