Communicative-oriented  language teaching methodologies need to have a central role in the current foreign language education. In fact, language teachers are expected to shift away from traditional language teaching methods that have proven to be ineffective for language learning. Nowadays, a movement, which favors and embraces interaction, communication, and negotiation of meaning, is growing in language education; therefore, pre-service and in-service teachers of English need to be responsive to and become aware of the importance of these key aspects. With these notions in mind, the present article can be seen as a contribution  to help language teachers gain an understanding of key theoretical notions related to the emergence of communicative language teaching and its most well-known methods – CLT and TBLT. Additionally, this work analyzed CLT and TBLT as these two language teaching methods are not opposing but in line with the communicative  approach. The importance of implementing communicative-oriented lessons into the English classroom was also examined. In this sense, a table made up of specific guidelines was elaborated by using works of leading experts in language teaching and learning. The table is intended to help teachers to be better equipped to design and implement  TBLT lessons into the classroom, which may have a positive impact  on foreign language learning.

Communicative language teaching has emerged in second and foreign language pedagogy due to the inadequacy of previous language teaching methods to enhance English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ communicative competence. However, old language teaching methods, mainly, grammar-translation and audio-lingual, are still prevalent in EFL contexts. One of the reasons behind EFL teachers’ hesitance to shift entirely to communicative language teaching (CLT) is the absence of clear guidance, including examples for classroom activities appropriate for this approach. Thus, the aim of this study is, first, to bridge this gap by suggesting digital storytelling as a classroom activity that is well-aligned with the principles of the communicative language approach. Second, to assess the effectiveness of digital storytelling activity on improving some linguistic aspects of students’ communicative competence. To this end, the study incorporated a case study design using multiple qualitative methods such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews and analysis of participants’ scripts and recordings to measure the improvement, if any. Participants were a class of 32 10th graders who collaboratively created five digital stories over 12 weeks. Results showed students’ favourable views to digital storytelling activity, particularly the ample opportunities it creates for communication inside the classroom. As for communicative competence, improvement in phonology, grammar, and lexicon were the most notable. Finally, suggestions for effective integration and possible future research venues based on these findings are provided.

The advent of innovation in teaching English as a foreign language has taken a long practice of ideas and concepts of classroom teaching practices.  An interplay of psychology of learning, classroom management, teaching procedures responding current issues in language uses and needs has promoted itinerary of teaching models.  The first role of applied linguistics is prominent to place how teaching issues and its practices are perceived contextually on the track.  The psychological perspectives have put learning models are viewed from various angles from which learning theories and language contents are interrelated.  First major ideas deal with development of teaching methods considered traditional, e.g. grammar translation that focuses on rules, silent way that stresses problem solving learning, and communicative language teaching that emphasizes on the uses of language for real communication.  The second major ideas promote innovative language teaching involving among others quantum teaching and learning, collaborative learning, effective teaching, multiple intelligences, from which language teaching methods are exposed for practices.  This way, along with the development of teaching process, teaching methods are adaptive to recent trend.  The resistance of language teaching method, thus, indicates flexibility of the method to absorb new needs in context.
