"Exploring the Effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching in Enhancing Learner Interaction Fluency and Communicative Competence in Second Language Classrooms"

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in developing learners’ interactional fluency and communicative competence in second language (L2) contexts. With communication at its core, CLT has gained global traction as a response to traditional grammar-focused methods. Drawing on existing literature and classroom-based studies, the research investigates how CLT empowers learners through interaction, collaborative learning, and real-life communication tasks. The findings highlight that CLT significantly enhances fluency and real-world communication skills, although challenges such as teacher preparedness and curriculum rigidity remain.
