Abstract
The Pandemic situation warranted the teachers to take a relook at the approaches of teaching and learning. The concept of communication crucial in English Language teaching is conspicuously missing. Today the fraternity of English teachers as they deal with digital natives needs to fine tune their pedagogical tools banking on technology. But it is also pertinent to safeguard their role and its sanctity amidst swarming sources. The concept of CLT has certain useful insights for ELT practitioners which are worth following considering the current trend of virtual teaching. The coral aspect of building competencies also demands attention. The web sources which exist in plentitude often confuse the teacher affecting the learner outcomes. The present paper Communicative Language Teaching in Virtual Classrooms – An Overview endeavors to discuss the relevance of CLT offering insights on the need to build communicative competence.
