THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) IN DEVELOPING SPEAKING FLUENCY
Keywords:
CLT, speaking fluency, interactive learning.Abstract
This study analyzes how Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) enhances speaking fluency through interactive practice. It argues that focusing on meaning rather than form bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. The results confirm that CLT significantly improves students' spontaneous communication skills.
