Abstract

The process of acquiring language is intricate, encompassing diverse approaches and methodologies. One notably influential approach that has garnered substantial attention in recent decades is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). This paper endeavors to investigate the impact of CLT on language acquisition by delving into its theoretical underpinnings, fundamental principles, and empirical support. By scrutinizing existing literature and studies, the objective is to furnish a comprehensive comprehension of CLT's efficacy in fostering language acquisition within second and foreign language contexts. The outcomes of this research aim to provide valuable insights for language educators and curriculum developers seeking to enhance language learning environments.

Keywords
