Abstract

 This article explores innovative approaches in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), with a particular emphasis on developing communicative competence among learners. The shift from traditional grammar-focused methods to learner-centered, communicative techniques reflects the evolving needs of 21st-century language learners. This paper examines several contemporary approaches, such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and the integration of digital technologies, and discusses their effectiveness in enhancing learners’ ability to use English in real-life contexts.
