INTRODUCTION 
           1.1 Background  
              Communicative  approach  has  become  a  central  attention  in  foreign 
           language education in Indonesia. It is because the government has purposed the 13 
           curriculum (K-13) as the compulsory guidance for the teacher which contains 
           some standard competency that emphasizes the communicative language teaching 
           as  a  framework  for  developing  students’  proficiency  that  drives  students  to 
           become more interactive and communicative in the learning activities. If we look 
           carefully,  textbook  in  this  country  is  redesigned  to  fit  with  communicative 
           approach in which the language content is arranged representing real life context 
           bring students to get the meaning easily when they communicate in the classroom. 
           In addition, the content of every chapter is for integrated skills. So, the material 
           leads the students to explore their language skill. 
              Therefore, teaching English as a foreign language aims to make students 
           proficient  in  both  written  and  spoken  language  that  is  expected  to  achieve 
           communicative  competence  of  integrated  English  skills  such  as  listening, 
           speaking, reading, and writing. Communicative competence is the ability to use 
           language that should learners know not only knowledge about language but also 
           the  skill  to  apply  that  knowledge  in  a  communicative  event  (  Bagaric,  2007). 
           There are some factors in order to reach those objectives; facilitation, materials, 
           teachers, etc. the same as others, the teacher has an important role in improving 
           students'  communicative  competence  in  the  process  of  teaching  and  learning. 
           Achieving  communicative  competence  is  challenging  because  teacher  must 
           encourage  learners  to  talk  as  much  as  possible  to  convey  the  messages  of 
            
                              
           communication which is more important rather than let them to think about the 
           grammar rules they use. That is why an English teacher must be creative to think 
           about an effective approach when they teach English in the classroom and also 
           present material which is more interesting to avoid learners to feel bored. In order 
           to make teaching and learning will be received well by the learners and easier to 
           be learned. 
              However from researcher’s experience at teaching practice when doing 
           class  observation  revealed  that  English  teacher  did  not  teach  the  students 
           communicatively because the students mostly receive the information from their 
           teacher it makes the class is passive. Teacher did not create variety of learning 
           activity such as mostly students were asked to do the exercise in pair from text 
           book  after  that  teacher  and  students  answered  the  exercise  together.  So,  the 
           learning situation was not interactive and attractive. Also, when researcher invited 
           student to speak English, most of students tended to use first language they afraid 
           in  making  mistakes  in  pronouncing  the  words  and  some  of  them  just  silent 
           because they had lack of vocabulary.  Because of these problems the goals of 
           communicative learning was not reached well.   
              As stated problem above, communicative approach is effective way to help 
           teacher to achieve communicative learning in the class. According to Littlewood 
           (1981) in more (2019) communicative approach is not only about how to teach the 
           structures of language but also must develop strategies to teach the structure that 
           connect  to  their  communicative  function  in  real  situation  and  real  time.  The 
           necessity  in  implementing communicative approach should know its principals 
           because  teacher  has  an  important  role  in  improving  the  quality  of  learners’ 
            
                              
                            communicative  competence.  In  contrast,  communicative  approach  is  different 
                            from  traditional  teaching  approach.   Therefore,  when  implementing  any 
                            communicative  approach  teacher  needs  to  learn  some  consideration  about 
                            communicative approach that is taken from some research findings or literature in 
                            order  to  guide  teacher  in  teaching  effectively  and  help  teacher  to  solve  the 
                            problem that might come in the future. For this reason, it is important to conduct a 
                            study  that  informs  teacher’s  approaches  with  its  procedures  when  teaching 
                            English in the classroom. 
                                     Therefore,  the  researcher  is  interested  in  conducting  research  entitled 
                            “The Implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-
                            Based Language Teaching in English Class: A Case Study at SMAN 4 Jambi”. 
                            This research focused on teacher’s approach in teaching English. The researcher 
                            decided  to  choose  a  senior  high  school  to  conduct  this  study  because  of  this 
                            reason, middle      students still    focusing     on    their cognitive     and     memory 
                            development. While secondary school emphasizes students to develop their social 
                            and organizational development such as personality and emotional formation in 
                            addition to the regular subject matter as the preparation to enter the college or the 
                            workplace. On the other hand, high school students are better prepared to take 
                            some responsibility for their own learning and can take personal action to solve 
                            problems, resolve conflicts and discuss to take alternatives than  middle school 
                            students.  Therefore,  high  school  students  have  a  chance  to  receive  task  based 
                            language teaching approach in the learning activity. 
                                     
                             
                                                                            
                            1.2  Research Question 
                                     According to the Background of the research, the research problems are 
                            Formulated as follow: 
                                         1.     How does English teacher implement teaching approaches in 
                                                English class at SMAN 4 Jambi? 
                                         2.     What are the procedures of every approach implemented in 
                                                English class at SMAN 4 Jambi? 
                            1.3 Research Objectives 
                                     Based  on  the  formulation  of  the  research  problems,  the aims of  this 
                            research are: 
                                         1.  To identify the English teacher’s approaches in teaching.  
                                         2.  To identify the procedures of approaches implemented in English 
                                             class. 
                            1.4 Limitation 
                                     This study was conducted at SMAN 4 Jambi City. The participant in this 
                              research  was  teacher  who  teaches  English  and  also  has  been  using 
                              communicative approach in teaching English; Communicative language teaching 
                              and  Task-based  language  teaching.  This  study  identified  the  teacher’s 
                              approaches  that  they  used  in  the  classroom  during  teaching  and  learning 
                              activities. In order to make this research manageable, researcher limited of the 
                              research by observation, interview, record and etc. This study focused on one 
                              public senior high school at SMAN 4 Jambi city, therefore this study could not 
                              be generalized widely to other similar senior high school.
