COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING: ENHANCING LANGUAGE SKILLS THROUGH INTERACTION

Abstract
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. This article explores the principles and practices of CLT, its impact on language acquisition, and how it prepares students for real-world communication. By focusing on communication in authentic contexts, CLT fosters fluency, encourages active learning, and develops a deeper understanding of language use in social situations (Richards & Rodgers, 2014).
