Currently, learning English cannot be separated from the classroom process. By learning English, students will be easier to communicate and compete to other students over the world. It happens because English has been existing as the international language used by almost whole people in the world. Related to learn English, there are four skills in English, they are listening, speaking, reading and writing. By considering those skills, speaking is the skill that shows the product during learning English. Unfortunately, numbers of students are lazy to speak because of the anxiety. The anxiety can set the students being unconfident to produce their oral communication. According to Hammer Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is the name which was given to a set of beliefs which included not only about what aspects of language to teach, but also a shift in emphasis in how to teach. based on the expert findings. Therefore, this paper is proposed to resolve the problem happened by giving the appropriate technique to this case.

Some countries much use English as an international language all over the world. Unfortunately, the use of English in some countries is different from each other.  In this case, Indonesia uses English as a foreign language. There are four English skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The mastery of vocabulary is a vital aspect in learning a language; we will not be able to speak to read, and write any language if we do not master it in vocabulary. Therefore, vocabulary has an essential role because it is his primary instrument of language. The student's mastery of English vocabulary is still low. Some factors that cause why the students' vocabulary is still low are the teacher's technique that does not motivate students in learning English. Instrument of the collecting data used by the writer is observation, interview, and test. In doing research, the writer uses a quantitative approach. It means that the data being obtained are presented by number and then interpreted by using statistical analysis. The conclusion of the research is the application of mastery of vocabulary on ability in making paraphrase. It is is know the result the student' of the mastery of vocabulary (X variable) in the average of 71.142 and the result the students' of ability in making paraphrase (Y variable) in the average of 68.00. Correlation of C variable on Y variable showing 0.418%. It means that 0.418 is enough to influence the correlation between applying the students' mastery of vocabulary on their ability to make paraphrase.

Learning English

At present English is an international language and we are required to be able to use English actively and correctly. But in learning English students still find it difficult to speak English actively and truly because they are not yet used to using and understanding English, making students less interested in learning languages English. Along with the development and advancement of computer technology makes everything start to switch to equipment that uses computerized systems. So it is not surprising if slowly computerized systems are applied in the world of education. In this case it is making a learning application English grammar for learners using Delphi 7.0. This application is specifically designed for students in Middle School which are presented in a simple form, so that they are easily understood and applied in everyday conversation. accompanied by discussion if students choose the wrong answer. This is done so that students are accustomed to practicing in working on English questions that might later be obtained at a higher level. It is hoped that by making this application can arouse interest in learning that was less interested in learning English will become interesting and more enthusiastic in learning English especially about grammar structure.

English Proficiency Index

This article discusses language teaching and the move from a predominantly psycholinguistic to a more sociolinguistic approach through Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), the Common European Framework of Reference Languages (CEFR) and English as an International Language (EIL). The context is four plurilingual and pluricultural societies in Southeast Asia and East Asia, (Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and China). These countries were chosen as they had similarities in the development of CEFR and consequently there were common factors that needed to be addressed in implementing CEFR. According to the English Proficiency Index (2020) a number of countries in the region have been described as being in the category of low or very low with regard to proficiency. To help improve such a situation, given the need for economic development, CEFR was introduced by various Ministries of Education in addition to the already existing official CLT syllabuses. English as an international language has also been widely proposed by a number of researchers, in terms of making teachers, students and educators aware of English as a world language as well as developing an attitudinal change with regard to ‘standard’ English. This article suggests that the basic principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) can be best applied through scaffolding using CEFR and EIL given the reality of teaching in relatively low English language proficiency contexts.

Collaborative Activities

There are various approaches of language teaching, in which communicative language teaching is the dominant approach worldwide. CLT approach allows language learners to express themselves and their views through collaborative activities undertaken during classes. This descriptive study has discussed CLT, offering both advantages and limitations. The CLT approach has led to major changes in such ways, in which language is taught and learnt. CLT aims to make “commnicative competence” the goal of language teaching and to develop procedures for teaching the four language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is well known that CLT approach allows language learners to express themselves and their views through collaborative activities, undertaken during classes. CLT, which is applied in schools, universities, colleges, and language institutes in most countries worldwide, stimulates learners’ interests in learning by infusing the learning environment with new types of activities and materials that are both interactive and authentic. CLT is becoming a major language and its being used worldwide. The learners of the language are more focused towards learning the concepts. The emphasize is not towards understanding the language structures and lexical collocations. The main aim of the CLT is to make individuals competent in communication.

Globalized World

In Japan, the ability to speak and understand English is widely regarded as essential for communication in a ‘globalized’ world. At the same time, however, many Japanese are reluctant to communicate in English because they perceive themselves (and are often perceived by others) to be poor speakers of English, despite the fact that they will have studied English for at least six years in junior and senior high school. In response to this, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has recently revised the national syllabus for English teaching. The revised syllabus places more emphasis on developing oral communication skills, and proposes a much greater use of communicative language teaching (CLT) methodology in order to bring this about. This paper describes the present situation of CLT in Japan based on questionnaire data obtained from 48 Japanese university students, and proposes that a more effective and practical approach to CLT and English teaching more generally may be obtained by adopting a ‘World Englishes’ point of view.

<p>The purposes underlying this study are (1) to describe an English textbook entitled “Passport to the World 1” in general; (2) to analyze the quality of the English textbook in developing communicative tasks and types of communicative materials. This research used a descriptive method. The data source of this research is the textbook for seventh grade of Junior High School, published in 2009 by PT Tiga Serangkai Pustaka Mandiri. In collecting data, this study takes four of ten units in the textbook randomly. The study uses theory of Cunningsworth (1995) to analyze the textbook in general and Communicative Language Teaching principles to analyze the tasks and material of the textbook. The result of the study shows that (1) the description of the textbook in general is fairly good (62.5 %); (2) the quality of communicative tasks is good (68.7%), and the quality of types of material in CLT is very good (75.03%). The textbook has all criteria of communicative tasks and materials, but each unit of the the textbook is still not complete. It means that the textbook is appropriate to be used and it  will be better if the teacher also completes each unit which is not appropriate communicative criteria by using other sources in order to develop students’ communicative competence.</p>

This study uses the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach to emphasize interaction in EFL study to prepare students for real life communication outside of formal language teaching contexts. Using mime drama techniques to show a range of literacy practices, the study seeks to show that establishing creative links between students’ language use and learning inside and outside of the classroom is essential for making formal education more relevant to students’ life experiences and identities. The study examines the benefits and challenges of experimental CLT in a Japanese university EFL oral communication class and concludes that bringing students’ ‘out-of-school’ literacy practices from outside the context of formal education into the EFL classroom acknowledges their investment in classroom language practices, secures student engagement, and yields perceived improvement.

Activity Information

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that has been the subject of many practitioners and researchers in the field of language teaching and applied linguistics in many countries like the Philippines because of the recent changes and educational reforms, including lessons and curriculum innovations. Anchored to the CLT theory, this study used quantitative-qualitative content analysis of the daily lesson plans of the 7 purposively sampled Senior High School (SHS) language teachers teaching Oral Communication in Context (OCC). This aimed to identify the activities by cluster, assess which activities are CLT strategies, and determine their alignment to standards in the curriculum guide. Results revealed that the strategies used as classified through content analysis, and according to type and frequency included task-completion activity, opinion-sharing activity, mechanical practice activity, information-transfer activity, reasoning-gap activity, information-gap activity, communicative activity, information-gathering activity, fluency activity, accuracy activity, meaningful practice activity, and others. A number of strategies matched the CLT principles and features but vary on their respective percentages in each of the four phases, i.e., Activity-Analysis-Abstraction-Application (4As) of the lesson. These CLT strategies were found to be aligned to the Department of Education’s curriculum guide in terms of content standards, performance standards and assessment types. Implications of the findings to language teaching in the Philippines were drawn.
