Communication is the most basic one in human relationship. Through communication, one can change ideas, share experiences with others, help, and understand others and maintain good social relationship with others. In real situations, communication is always meaningful and more spontaneous; it does not consist of only fluent sequences of grammatically incorrect forms. It is due to imposed by performance limitation. Communication practice provided in schools differs from that in real life situations. In classroom interactions, communication does not serve the primary function of exchanging ideas and of acting in various ways by means of language or linguistic forms, but rather has the function of making students or learners learn.
