Faizal Amir, Astri Anggitasari

Abstract


The schools have been implementing online learning during the pandemic. Teachers are required to be able to do online learning where these activities require the role of information and communication technology (ICT). Teachers cannot ensure that every student will understand the material taught during online learning. Therefore, the teacher must make several effective learning methods and approaches which can make students enthusiastic in learning and understanding the material presented. One approach that can be used by teachers is CLT (Communicative Language Teaching). Social interactions used in communicative language teaching can be done through dialogue, discussion, role-playing, etc. Nowadays, there are many applications implemented by teachers to support the online learning process such as Google Classroom, Zoom, and Sound Cloud to improve students' skills. CLT can be used to teach many things such as vocabulary development, communication among instructors and learners, minimal use of specialized language, use of language (in the general context of communication), use of Information Technology, information search skills, argumentation skills of personal opinions, non-verbal skills, and networking skills in a group.
