Abstract:Communicative language teaching should make the language content as the center of teaching, rather than language structure. And fostering students’ communicative competence is its main goal. Teachers are no longer the masters of the classroom, but play the role of the multi-identity. Through exploring the features and principles of communicative language teaching deeply, adopting creative methods reasonably and the language model which mixes the semantics and pragmatics in a real-life situation, we can fully mobilizie the enthusiasm and initiative of students. By doing so we can enable students to truly become a learning center, thereby promoting students’ abilities of communication.

Key words: Communicative Language Teaching; features and principles; promoting communicative competences
