Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical reflection about the foreign languages teaching process through the communicative approach and aims at showing the communicative approach in the teaching-learning process of a new language. On this work, we elaborated a bibliographic and qualitative research relating to the modern foreign language teaching as a communicative competence notion. The research is based on the theoretical contributions of Almeida Filho (1986, 2013), Brown (2000, 2001), Hymes (1972), Krashen (1982, 1983), Larsen-Freeman (2000), Littlewood (1981), Richards (2006), Richards e Rodgers (2001), Widdowson (1978), among others, who discuss the communicative approach on foreign language teaching. It is concluded from the theoretical reference that a meaning communication in foreign language results of the interaction among contents inserted in real contexts of communication.
