INTRODUCTION

                            Language is the basic means of communication. Thus, one of the initial aims of language teaching is to enable communication in the target language. Communicative language teaching whose main aim is also to develop communication is one of the most widely used approaches in the world of language teaching today. In that project-work we intended to both inform the reader about communicative language teaching and show how to apply this approach to a real Turkish class in terms of a specific grammar subject taken from national curriculum. In that sense, first we have given the theory of the approach, and then we have shown adaptibility of it by preparing a worksheet to teach the subject we have chosen.
