Introduction.
Communicative lenguage teaching (CLT)

It is an aproach to teach a language, CLT emphasizes interaction as both the means and the target language. I mean, it is based on communicative competences. CLT also emphasizes "humanism", which focuses on students need and individual affective. It was developed in the UK in the 1960 and 1970 and then it was popularized in America. Learners can communicate orally and in writing with native speakers in a appropriate way.
Some characteristics are:
- Focus on negotiation of meaning and meaningful communication.
- Learners collaboration is so important to interact (active learning and active learners)
- Teacher as facilitator.
- Tolerance for errors.

CLT is focus on the four skills not just in face-to-face oral communication. Other principles inside of the CLT are reading and writing, that’s why teacher need to have portfolio assessment which include some information from the students and this an evidence of the student´s develop. This kind of collection may include the following aspects:

- Essay writing.

- Class presentations.

- Poems.

- Reports.

- Stories.

- Videotapes.

- Similar projects.

 As we can see, the CLT is really important to our own life, because we can adapt some main points about the approach just to apply them into the real world, and by this way achieve all the objectives proposed by ourselves.
