Abstract
Abstract: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a learner-centered approach to language instruction that emphasizes meaningful communication and real-life interaction over rote memorization of grammar and vocabulary. CLT focuses on developing learners’ ability to use the target language effectively in authentic contexts, promoting both fluency and accuracy. This article explores the principles, methods, classroom activities, and benefits of CLT, highlighting its role in enhancing communicative competence in second language acquisition.
