Abstract

In this paper, it is proposed that Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) should be adopted as a method/ approach for English language teaching at University of Sindh, Pakistan (USJP). In the beginning, English language teaching situation at USJP are given in which it is argued that our students study English language but can hardly communicate effectively. The paper further discusses literature review explaining what CLT is, how to apply CLT, misconceptions about CLT, criticism against and defence of CLT. Then, the paper presents analysis and implications of CLT application at University of Sindh. Finally, it concludes with optimism that CLT will equip our learners with communicative competence if adopted properly in USJP.
