We aim to develop students’ overall communicative competence, which includes not only grammatical accuracy but also fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary use, and cultural awareness. Students are encouraged to communicate meaningfully and effectively, even if they make errors.

We integrated skills: The communicative approach emphasizes the integration of the four language skills – listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Rather than teaching these skills in isolation, they are interconnected and practiced together in authentic language use situations.

We contextualized learning: Language is taught in meaningful contexts, such as discussing a specific topic, describing real-life situations, or engaging in interactive tasks. This helps students understand how language is used in different situations and develops their ability to adapt their language to various contexts.

We encourage task-based learning: Tasks and activities are used to promote meaningful communication. Students are given tasks that simulate real-life situations and require them to use the language to achieve a specific goal. This helps students see the relevance of language learning and motivates them to use the language.

The focus is on the student as an active participant in the learning process. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, engage in collaborative activities, and express their opinions and ideas.
