Abstract

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a prominent English Language Teaching model in
Malaysia. It is an approach to language teaching which focuses learners’ need for developing
communication skills. However, the implementation of CLT in the classrooms has proven to be
difficult and needs to be revisited and re-examined again with careful and in-depth research.
Thus, the present study hopes to investigate the implementation of CLT in selected primary
schools within Kota Tinggi district in Johor. The study is hoped to provide insights on the
teachers' perceptions, challenges, and expectations implementing CLT in the classroom. Based
on a qualitative descriptive research design, data collected from the questionnaire and
supplemented with interviews with a smaller group of teachers, will contribute in investigating
the actual perceptions, challenges and expectations of the teachers in the implementation of
CLT. The findings of the study will also contribute to the body of knowledge about
Communicative Language Teaching, especially in the Malaysian context.
