Communicative approach

The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.
Example
Practising question forms by asking learners to find out personal information about their colleagues is an example of the communicative approach, as it involves meaningful communication.
In the classroom Classroom activities guided by the communicative approach are characterised by trying to produce meaningful and real communication, at all levels. As a result there may be more emphasis on skills than systems, lessons are more learner-centred, and there may be use of authentic materials. https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/communicative-approach

b) the teacher communicates a lot clearer with the learners in this approach, differently from other approaches.
c) The communication is free and happens without any guidance.
d) The level of interaction is high and learners succeed because they have to communicate real meaning.
e) Systems are emphasized to provide better results.
