- Abstract
-
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has become one of the most influential approaches in modern foreign language education due to its emphasis on meaningful communication, learner interaction, and communicative competence. The present study examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of CLT and analyzes its effectiveness in developing learners’ speaking competence in English language teaching. The article is based on an extensive review of scientific literature related to communicative competence, language acquisition, functional linguistics, and learner-centered pedagogy. The study investigates the contributions of prominent scholars such as Dell Hymes, Michael Halliday, Henry Widdowson, Canale and Swain, Littlewood, Brumfit, Johnson, Savignon, and Krashen to the development of communicative methodology.
