Abstract
this article is dedicated to the field of language learning, focusing primarily on the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) methodology. It discusses its key principles, the significance of language learning as well as teaching, its advantages along with shortcomings, differences from traditional approaches, and its application educational process. The article also analyzes the adaptability of CLT in various cultural contexts. The aim of the study is to explore the role of CLT in enhancing students’ English language proficiency. This examines how the application of CLT principles, such as interaction, learner-centered activities together with real-life communication, promotes the improvement of learners’ fluency, accuracy, as well as overall ability in English. Along with this, it seeks to identify the challenges faced during the application of the approach in lessons, as well as to offer effective strategies to overcome these obstacles and make the process of English language mastery more efficient.
