The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in real conversation, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.

This approach uses the same method that the an infant or toddler uses to acquire their mother tongue: through mimicking and speaking. This also takes off the pressure of trying to learn for the sake of learning and turns it into an enjoyable experience which in turn evokes the desire to learn more.

Just like a caring parent to a toddler, the teacher is there not to control but to guide the learner and lets them create their own conversations and experiences.

This approach is fantastic as it fits learning a language at any age. The communicative approach uses a fool-proof method that has worked without fail for people who want to learn a new language regardless of age: living with native speakers and speaking the language regularly with the natives yields faster learning than any book ever will. It obviously is easy for younger children to acquire a new language that older people (due to their still developing brains) but the communicative uses that innate ability to mimick to its advantage and accelerates the learning process.

The communicative approach helps to significantly improve a student's discourse and strategic competence because it drastically increases the student's confidence while they speak. The approach focuses on function over form, meaning that learners' ability to create sentences and communicate ideas is much more important than knowing the language structures and conventions.
