Summary/Abstract: Gradually, the teaching methodology has acknowledged the communicative nature of language and established as its goal the development of the language system itself. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) introduced the concept of “doing things with the language” v ”knowing things about the language” to define the necessity of training students to use the language actively and engage in real communication. Limited as it might be by the differences between real communication and classroom communication, the achievement of communicative competence has triggered changes at all the levels of the communicative event: physical and psychological organization of the communication event, participants in the communication event and their roles and attitudes. The paper intends to review the concept of CLT as it appears in the researches’ works, with a special emphasis on the communicative nature of language and to contrast components of the communication events as seen by traditional teaching methods and the communicative approach.
