Summary/Abstract: This paper is an argument for the recommended approach to foreign language acquisition in the current socio-economic context. It unfolds a short presentation of the communicative approach to second language teaching. A basic principle underlying all communicative approaches is the fact that learners must learn not only to make grammatically correct statements, but they also have to develop other skills to apply the language effectively in either studying or working environments. A comparison between traditional and communicative approaches is then drawn to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed approach, followed by exemplifications of communicative activities. The roles of teachers and learners are also presented, as well as the part played by factors such as motivation, materials and environment in the classroom management involved in communicative language teaching.
