Abstract

As a significant aspect in the history of teaching approaches, communicative teaching deserves our deep contemplation for its significance and value. This article attempts to explore the development process of communicative teaching in the history of Chinese education, starting from its origin background. It aims to redefine its essential characteristics and further examine some highlights and shortcomings of communicative teaching. In addition, with the help of existing research, explore the practical application of communicative approaches in English teaching and propose certain teaching application suggestions. Finally, some comments and prospects were made on the future of communicative teaching.
