Description: The guiding principle of "Making Communicative Language Teaching Happen" is the premise that communication is the expression, interpretation, and negotiation of meaning, and not simply oral expression. Following that framework, "Making Communicative Language Teaching Happen" helps instructors develop communicative classroom environments that blend listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
