THE IMPACT OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING ON FLUENCY
Keywords:
Communicative language teaching, fluency, language learning, interaction, speaking skillsAbstract
This paper explores how authentic communication and task-based activities within student-led learning spaces assist CLT in enhancing student performance leading to more natural speech abilities. The widely implemented CLT approach targets actual language usage because educators use it to advance learner competence. The authors examine how communication-focused language instruction leads to better speaker naturalness and confidence in language learners. The study investigates student expression through peer discussion sessions and the use of real-world materials to check their progression toward smooth verbalization.
