Competency-Based Language Teaching

Resumen

Rooted in the importance given in competency-based education to outcomes, competency-based language teaching (CBLT) is a foreign language teaching approach that focuses on the importance of achieving the abilities and knowledge needed to survive in the target society. This procedure highlights the importance of recognizing learners' needs to design a method that will help them communicate effectively and face real-life situations successfully. This approach demands an active role of the learner, a facilitating role of the teacher, materials directed to output, and tasks and assessment methods oriented to identify what the learner is able to do with the language being learnt.
