BRIDGING THE GAP: THE POWER OF THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Abstract

In today's fast-paced, globalized world, knowing a language means more than just memorizing grammar rules and translating texts word-for-word. When students ask, "Why can I read and write in English, but I still can't speak fluently?", the answer often lies in the outdated methods they experienced. This is where the Communicative Approach (CLT) steps in as a game-changer for English teachers.
