This paper depicts the characteristics of communicative activities that are likely to be carried out in the classroom language teaching and learning process. These activities are conducted based on the belief that language is naturally functional for communication rather than just substantially formal and structural, consisting of multi-layered components. The strong belief underlying such classroom activities is that it is possible to acquire communicative competence regardless of the knowledge about grammatical rules. When the activities have focused the conveyance and reception of meanings, are likely to happen in real-life social interaction, and are stimulating the learners to be active and participative, we can say that the activities are compliant with the characteristics of communicative activities. This article is conceptual and descriptive in the sense that the writers present some thoughts concerning the features of communicative activities in the language classroom and describe them based on the data obtained from a teacher training session |
