So far, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has been viewed differently by different authors:
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Communicative language teaching (CLT), or the communicative approach, is an approach to language teaching that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of study

CLT emphasizes on learners-centered teaching According to Savignon (1983:263), "Communicative Language Teaching has become a term for methods and

According to Bock (2000) CLT is tailored to get at meaning and learners negotiate meaning in class Meaning is considered as what is communicated He also states:
“Authentic materials, functional tasks, and groups and pair work are significant aspects of CLT”
According to Nunan (1989: 194), Communicative Language Teaching means:

1.1.2 Characteristics of Communicative Language Teaching
In approaches and methods in language teaching
Richards and Rodgers (2001) summarized the communicative view of language as:
• Language is a system for the expression of meaning
• The primary function of language is to allow interaction and communication
• The structure of language reflects its functional and communicative uses
• The primary units of language are not merely its grammatical and structural features, but categories of functional and communicative meaning

Therefore, having dealt with the importance of oral skills in language teaching and learning, it is essential that language teachers should pay great attention to teaching speaking skills
1.3.4 Approaches to the teaching of speaking
According to Byrne (1991:23- 24), there are three phases to develop learners‟ oral ability:

Byrne, D (1991) summaries ten different steps to present a dialogue as follows:
1 Establish setting by using pictures At this step, English is used as much as possible
2 Draw out learners‟ experience related to situation
4 Set the listening task by asking key information of the dialogue
5 Ask learners to listen without looking at the dialogue
6 Allow learners to have a look at their book when necessary
7 Ask learners to listen and repeat
8 Ask learners to pick up difficulties and explain them
9 Ask them to practice ( role- play)
10 Ask them to dramatize the dialogue

Byrne (1991:26) suggests that teachers should use the following nine steps to present a prose,
1 Introduce the topic by asking learners to look at the pictures or asking them about related things
2 Introduce the text New words and structures are given
4 Set the reading task: make questions
5 Ask the learners to read the passage in silence and find the answers
6 Ask learners to read again aloud and ask for the answer
7 Explain difficulties they still have
8 Do silent reading again because learners need to go on with step nine
9 Get the learners to talk about what they have to learn based on the previous answers

The teachers‟ perceptions of CLT are limited Moreover, they also encounter a lot of difficulties in their teaching speaking Therefore, teaching techniques in reducing with these difficulties are suggested
The 11 th form students at Bắc Sơn high school find the topics and activities in the textbook “Tiếng Anh 11” difficult The majority of students admit that English speaking skills is very important to them However, they are not really interested in speaking English and unwilling to speak in class The reasons for this question are various, for example: students have low level of English language proficiency or they are afraid of losing face Although the teachers have taken stock in improving students‟ speaking skills by applying the techniques suggested by CLT such as: they organize many games and activities as well as group work and pair work, etc However, sometimes teachers‟ current techniques do not motivate students They do not give students enough time to prepare the topics

“tolerance of errors” This encourages students to speak confidently
The results also show that there still exist some teachers whose reaction to students‟ mistakes is in an unfriendly and unhelpful manner Students are often interrupted during
36 their presentation It can be understood that the ways of mistake correction applied by most of the teachers at BS high school prevent students from speaking in class

Language 1 is used to help the weaker during pair work or group work It is seen as supplementary aid to keep their communication going However, the students in grade 11 at BS high school usually use Vietnamese a lot during groupwork because they find that speaking in Vietnamese easier than in English Gradually, using Vietnamese become a habit even when many students are quite capable of expressing themselves in English and that is why many of them do not have the habit of speaking English in class This has been a big obstacle for the teaching of speaking skills

Speaking activities need to be interesting to encourage students to speak Activities will be more attractive if teachers exploit from different sources like linguistic journals, magazines and internet

39 carefully Thus, teachers should pay attention to more kinds of activities such as communicative games, role - play, songs, dialogues
The most common types of communicative output activities are role - play and discussions:

There are certain tips teachers should bear in mind when applying role-play successfully into teaching speaking skills:
+ Prepare carefully: introduce the activity by describing the situation and making sure that all of the students understand it
+ Set a goal or outcome: be sure the students understand what the product of the role-play should be, whether a plan, a schedule, a group opinion, or some other product
+ Brainstorm: before starting the role-play, ask students to brainstorm as a class to predict what the language (including vocabulary, grammar, and idiomatic expressions) they might use
As it has been said in the findings section, discussion is used most in teaching speaking skills by the teachers at Bắc Sơn high school
However, teachers should carry out some procedures for discussion:

• Depend on the size of the class to divide learners into suitable groups
• Provide learners words or structures relating to the topic to help them widen vocabulary
• Suggest some main ideas about the topic
• Move around the class to keep an eye on learners and make sure that all of them are participating in the topic
• Encourage them to speak out their ideas

When the students‟ answers are correct or almost correct, the teacher should praise them by saying “Excellent”, “Great”, “Fantastic”, “You are on the right track”,
“That‟s very close”, “Almost” If students give out a wrong answer, the positive praise as
“Good try”, “Try another time” are truly to stimulate students to speak
