Abstract
: In today's globalized world, effective communication in English has become an essential skill for academic, professional, and social success. As a result, English language educators continuously seek innovative teaching approaches that enhance learners' communicative competence. This article examines the impact of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on the development of students' speaking skills. It discusses the theoretical foundations of CLT, its advantages, classroom applications, and its role in improving learners' confidence, fluency, and interaction abilities. The study concludes that communicative approaches significantly contribute to successful language acquisition and learner-centered education.References
