Stephen Bax's critique of CLT has to do with the context of its implementation. Bax asserts that many researchers associate the use of CLT techniques with modernity and so the lack of CLT techniques as a lack of modernism. That way, those researchers consider teachers or school systems that fail to use CLT techniques as outdated and suggest that their students learn the target language "in spite of" the absence of CLT techniques, as if CLT were the only way to learn a language, and everyone who fails to implement its techniques is ignorant and cannot teach the target language.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Bax|first=Stephen|date=2003-07-01|title=The end of CLT: a context approach to language teaching|journal=ELT Journal|volume=57|issue=3|pages=278–287|doi=10.1093/elt/57.3.278|issn=0951-0893}}</ref>

Another important point is that the English language has a structure that can not be changed by anybody. People must respect languages and their formforms if they do not do it they will end up creating new languages what will bring confusion, misunderstanding and separation.

Americans and Englishmen think that modernization means change. Modernization means perfection. The CLT approach does not encourage students to be perfect. People must not forget that communication has as a main goal to transmit messages efficiently without errors.
