I teach the communicative approach that is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When students are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.
For Example: Practising question forms by asking learners to find out personal information about their colleagues is an example of the communicative approach, as it involves meaningful communication.
In class the activities are characterised by trying to produce meaningful and real communication, at all levels. The lessons I give are more learner-centred, and there may be use of authentic materials.
