The CLT approach includes the introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation, which means using real-life materials such as newspaper articles or videos to expose students to authentic language use. This helps students develop their language skills in a more realistic and meaningful context. Additionally, the CLT approach aims to link classroom language learning with language activities outside the classroom. This means encouraging students to use the language they learn in real-life situations outside of the classroom, such as through interactions with native speakers or by engaging with authentic language materials outside of class.Rate this question:

CLT is usually characterized as a broad approach to teaching, rather than as a teaching method with a clearly defined set of classroom practices. As such, it is most often defined as a list of general principles or features. One of the most recognized of these lists is David Nunan’s (1991) five features of CLT:
- An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language.
- The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.
- The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on language but also on the learning process itself.
- An enhancement of the learner’s own personal experiences as important contributing elements to classroom learning.
- An attempt to link classroom language learning with language activities outside the classroom.
