There has been a social turn in current foreign language education ingeneral and communicative language teaching (CLT) in particular. Formany people, CLT might be regarded as a way to facilitate the targetlearners to acquire and employ the target language communicatively.Despite all CLT’s favourable characteristics and the fact that itcaptures the fundamental nature of language use for communicativesituations of everyday life, its implementation in Indonesian contextshas not been without problems. This is due to the fact that many peoplein Indonesia might still have different interpretation of applying CLTin the classroom setting.Key words: reflection, communicative, language, teaching, Indonesia

Abstract

All physical aspects of the universe and all aspects of human life aresubject to change, and languages are no exception. Indeed, “one ofthe eternal truths about living languages is that they all change”(Winkler, 2007, p. 197). Individual changes can be quite abrupt andobvious, as when new words make an appearance and becomepopular. Normally, however, language change is gradual, almostimperceptible. In fact, its speakers are usually unaware of thechanges as they are occurring, as with the slow alteration inpronunciation when one generation speaks slightly different fromanother. In light of this, in the majority of cases, language change isthe consequence of changes in the socio-political structure of aparticular population.Key Words: language, change, socio-political structure
