CBLT (Competency-Based Language Teaching)

a. Background
CBLT is demands that language be connected to a social context rather than being taught
in isolation. CBLT requires learner to demonstrate that they can use the language to
communicate effectively (Paul, 2008; Richards & Rodgers, 2001; Wong, 2008). It means that
we use language in order we can communicate with the society in which we stay in. And also
CBLT is helping the students in expressing what that they have achieved. By the end of the
1970, CBLT is used to teach a language programs for adults. And in 1990, CBLT has been
used by refuge in the United State to receive a federal assistance and in order the refuge can
study another language as a second language which they live. It can be easily the refuge to
communicate with the society around them in a new environment.

interpersonal relation in order they can communicate between individuals. And also
language is tool to creating a social relation.
