"THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) METHOD IN ENGLISH COURSES AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS"

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method in English language courses at public schools and focuses on its role in enhancing students' communication skills. It emphasizes authentic communication in learning and learner-centered pedagogy, with the aim of improving speaking and listening abilities. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach and includes classroom observations, interviews with teachers, as well as analysis of instructional materials, through which it evaluates how CLT enhances language acquisition. The results indicate that the integration of ICT tools and multimedia resources, alongside interactive activities (IA), significantly enhances student engagement and motivation in English Language Teaching (IELT), Information and Communication Technology (ICT). However, challenges remain, particularly regarding resource availability and teacher preparedness. This study highlights the adoptable potential of CLT and offers recommendations for curriculum design and teacher development to optimize English language teaching in public schools.
