Conclusion

According to the author, communicative competence encompasses the following aspects of language knowledge: knowing how to use the language in various situations, knowing how to vary the use of the language according to settings and participants (formal and informal speech), being able to understand various types of texts, and so on. When utilizing communicative activities in the classroom, a difference should be made between fluency and accuracy, with fluency being defined as the natural language usage that occurs when speakers participate in a discussion despite their communicative competence limitations. On the other hand, accuracy refers to the development of accurate examples of language usage. 

The advantages of research in this journal

The advantages presented by the authors in this journal are that the findings of this study clearly show that authentic language contexts allow students to practice all the principles they have learned in class; Also, trying to use English on their own will definitely be an example of a native language application they will use when appearing as professionals.

Disadvantages of research in this journal

The shortcomings encountered by the authors in the research on the application of the CLT approach to speaking comprehension are that due to differences in English level, it is sometimes difficult to classify students; one possible solution is to give students a placement test so that they can be grouped homogeneously later. Another problem with large groups is that it is difficult for teachers to track their students' progress in communicative exercises.
