This document provides examples of classroom activities that can be used in a communicative language teaching (CLT) approach. It lists 10 activities - such as sharing experiences, opinion sharing, role playing, and debates - and briefly explains why each activity is suitable for CLT. The activities aim to give students practice using the target language through communication and interaction. An advantage noted is that CLT is learner-oriented, while a disadvantage is its potential focus on fluency over accuracy. Students are assigned to prepare for a quiz and recitation on this topic next week.
