CRITICAL REFLECTION ON CLT APPLICATION IN INDONESIA
Abstract
There has been a social turn in current foreign language education in
general and communicative language teaching (CLT) in particular. For
many people, CLT might be regarded as a way to facilitate the target
learners to acquire and employ the target language communicatively.
Despite all CLT’s favourable characteristics and the fact that it
captures the fundamental nature of language use for communicative
situations of everyday life, its implementation in Indonesian contexts
has not been without problems. This is due to the fact that many people
in Indonesia might still have different interpretation of applying CLT
in the classroom setting.
Key words: reflection, communicative, language, teaching, Indonesia
