Based on the idea that successfully learning a language comes from having to communicate real meaning.

The main goal of the Communicative Approach is to present a topic in as natural a context as possible.

This approach's typical activities include games, problem-solving tasks, and role-playing. The activities should include an information gap, a choice, and feedback.

Most current textbooks feature a syllabus with functional and structural content which is carried out through units containing a) real-world or adapted texts with comprehension questions b) communicative activities for pair work or group work and c) grammar explanations with grammar exercises

Role plays, cue cards, activity cards, or pair-communication practice materials. They come in the form of “activity packs”, “workbooks”, or simply appear as an appendix at the end of the textbook.

Proposes that languages are made up of these "chunks," and that the key to fluency in any language is the nuanced use of these phrases, which native speakers spew in everyday conversations, without regard for grammatical soundness or word meaning.

When you think about it, native speakers don't consciously follow grammar rules every time they speak. They simply converse.

Refers to the natural exposure to the language that native speakers have on a daily basis. English speakers, for example, get their news from their favorite English news channels. Germans enjoy reading German novels. The French enjoy watching French films. When the Italians go out to eat, they read the menu in Italian.

Your students will initially find it difficult to judge which words in the sentences come as a group.

It will be your responsibility to highlight them. On the board, circle them. Repeat them aloud, and ask the class to do so as well. Explain what they mean to the students.

Make the phrases come alive for your students by giving them a sense of what their equivalent expressions in English are. This would open their eyes to the numerous occasions when a specific lexical chunk is appropriate.
Of course, the conversion is never perfect, and there isn't always a proper translation available, but if one exists, use it.
