The most important part of learning a language is being able to communicate, understanding others and making yourself understood. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a perspective on language teaching where the focus is on the students and letting them communicate and interact with each other in the learning language. CLT creates safe classroom environments and great knowledge in how to use the language in everyday life. The aim with the study was to investigate English teachers’ usage of CLT and attitudes towards using CLT in the Swedish classroom during English teaching. Seven English teachers in Sweden participated in the study by answering questions in a semi-structured interview that was designed to answer the study´s research questions. The main results show that although English teachers are not familiar with the concept of CLT, they still have a positive attitude towards many tools and activities that are in keeping with it – and they also use these tools and activities. Hence, to get the most out of what CLT has to offer in the Swedish classroom, support from schools in the form of a teacher-training program would be appropriate.
