In the CLT approach, the focus is on communication, as opposed to grammar, as this is believed to lead to an improvement in language learning and acquisition in students. Data for the study was collected from two classes at beginners and intermediate levels in a university in Malaysia. The teachers' classroom interactions with the students were audio taped and analyzed to identify occurrences of signals that would invite modified output from the learners.
