Communicative competence in teaching speaking

CONCLUSION
The process of natural communication will
develop the learners’ communicative competence. The

---

teacher in teaching speaking should maximize the
learners ‘exposure
to natural communication by
providing them with appropriate materials to stimulate
them to speak that focus on the use of language, not on
the usage. The students’ tasks and materials applied refer
to problem solving oriented that develop more their
language activities to be their language creativity. In
CLT, communicative competence must be the basis of
teaching activities in which teacher not only pays
attention to verbal communication but also non- verbal
communication that is practiced well. Finally, the
speaking teachers should create other innovative and
creative techniques for developing communicative
competence in teaching speaking.
