I.    Introduction

    Communicative approach originated from the reform of the traditional methods in Britain in the late 1960s. On the basis of the theory of the communicative approach, communicative approach emphasizes that in the process of language learning, it is necessary and important to use language to communicate. “The core content of communicative teaching is not learning language not even learning about the knowledge of language, but using language to learn and learning to use language” (Li 373). That is to say, language and communication are interdependence. Students can use the language to communicate with people, access to information, and cultivate their communicative competence in English. That is why linguists treated language as a communicative tool. In 1987, Widdowson published the book Teaching Language as Communication. Communicative approach emerged as a historic moment. This teaching method expressly points out the main and ultimate aim of English teaching in order to cultivate students “communicative competence”. Compared with the traditional methods, communicative approach has changed the traditional teacher-centered teaching method. The new mode of teaching is based on the behavior of students and teachers. In another word, students are most important subjects in studying while teachers only play a leading role. In the process of English teaching, teachers should focus on all developments of students and develop their comprehensive skills. It requires the teachers should pay more attention to the correction and appropriateness of using of language in teaching. In particular, with the development of Chinese society, international exchange and cooperation have a close relationship, and society has brought up superior demands to talents, which not only asks them to have professional knowledge, but also have the high ability on English teaching. Thus English teachers should change the traditional methods in teaching and make great efforts to development of students’ comprehension by using English ability. This paper introduces the communicative approach and its features and aims of teaching, then discusses some problems of present English teaching, and gives some advice on how to teach English with the communicative approach. On this basis, the application of communicative approach will improve students’ communicative ability, and also cultivate more communicative talents for our country. 论交际法在中学英语教学中的运用:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_23108.html
