definitions of CLT: 1. CLT helps students develop the four competences instead of merely focusing on their linguistic competence or grammatical competence 2. CLT enables learners to use the language for meaningful purposes in authentic situations. Learning language forms are not the aim of the approach, but to enable them to engage in authentic interactions 3.

With an increasing amount of non-English speakers entering the country each year, the population of students who speak English as a second language or no English at all increases as well.

tablets, multimedia and many other technologies. Ramamuruthy and Rao (2015) describe students today with the term “digital native” because they are exposed to technology everyday (p.24). Since education plays a significant role in society, it needs to be developed in order to meet the demands of the 21st century. In other words, students need to be educated in a way that keeps up with their daily lives. Teaching English to non-native speakers is a field that can have much better outcomes when educational

Language is used as a tool for communication. To learn a foreign language like English, students need mental involvement. Modern classrooms require the learner centered approaches.

I will highlight in this research precisely at how to avoid the lack of communications in the classroom by clarifying the big rule of Communicative language teaching (CLT) in both, improving communications skills and creating the best field of practicing new vocabulary, grammar rules and pronounce words correctly. I will give a lesson to a number of Intermediate School students from the age of 11 to the age of 15 about one or tow simple rules of grammar using Communicative language teaching methods
