COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING AND ITS IMPACT ON ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
Authors/Creators
Description
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has become one of the most influential approaches in English Language Teaching (ELT) over the past several decades. Unlike traditional methods that emphasize grammatical accuracy and rote memorization, CLT focuses on meaningful communication and the practical use of language in authentic contexts. This article examines the theoretical foundations, principles, implementation strategies, advantages, challenges, and impact of Communicative Language Teaching on English proficiency. Drawing upon contemporary research and pedagogical practices, the study highlights how CLT contributes to the development of learners’ communicative competence, fluency, confidence, and overall language proficiency. The findings suggest that CLT enhances students’ ability to use English effectively in real-life situations while promoting learner-centered instruction and active participation. Despite certain implementation challenges, CLT remains a highly effective approach for improving English language proficiency in diverse educational settings.
