THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) IN PROMOTING COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Аннотация

Language teaching methods have undergone significant transformations in the last few decades, with a growing emphasis on approaches that prioritize communication and real-life language use. One of the most influential methods to emerge is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Developed in the 1970s, CLT has become a dominant method in language education, particularly for teaching English as a second or foreign language. Its central goal is to enable learners to communicate effectively in real-world situations, thus enhancing their communicative competence.
