 1. Introduction 

In the end of the 1960s, linguists and teachers of foreign language are dissatisfied with the dominating teaching methods of language. It required language learners to use language in accurate grammatical forms, and the mastery of language structured the measures of competence in a foreign language. People criticize it because this teaching method may cause students’ incompetent communication though they master the structures well. Besides, people had more possibilities to attend communication with people all around the world when they travel around the world. The Council of Europe then paid more attention to these changes. A number of experts set us a scheme to teach the languages of Europe with the needs of adult learners in mind. Finally, people find the Communication Language Teaching.

Communicative language teaching sees language function projects as the program while the developing competence of communication as the goal. It is a teaching method based on a series of social linguistics theories. Communicative competence is the center of communicative approach while enabling learners to use the language in the form of language learning to communicate in different situations effectively and decently is the core of communicative competence. Communicative approach emphasizes not an abstract language form, but the actual use of different languages forms and the communicative function.
