Quasiexperimental design was adopted for the study with a pretest-posttest control group approach. The population consisted of 120,000 SS2 students across the five states from public schools in South-East Nigeria. Amultistage sampling technique was used. In the final stage, a simple random sampling method was used to select 50 students (25 for the experimental group and 25 for the control group) from each school, resulting in a total sample size of 500 students across the five states (10 schools) . The instrument for data collection was 40 multiple-choice questions and 5 short-answer questions on Igbo Poetry Performance Test (IPPT) and the CLT Method. The data collected were analysed using mean and Standard deviation. Based on the data analysed, the study identified students’ achievement on Igbo Poetry which includes: that CLT significantly enhances students' understanding, creativity, engagement, and performance in Igbo poetry, CLT positively influences students interest and motivation, although its impact on collaboration and critical thinking is less clear. The study also identifies challenges such as increased teacher workload and insufficient training, with recommendations for improving teacher support and resources. It is recommended among others that while CLT is beneficial, addressing implementation challenges can further enhance its effectiveness in secondary schools, Organizing Seminars and workshops for secondary schools, where parents, students and teachers should learn the importance of indigenous language in  \nInvestigating the Effectiveness of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Method… 33  \nIcheke Journal of the Faculty of Humanities Vol.22.

The Igbo language, one of the major languages spoken in Nigeria, a significant African language spoken predominantly in south-eastern Nigeria isnot just a means of communication but also a repository of the Igbo people's rich cultural heritage. Eze (2016) affirms that effective teaching of the Igbo language, particularly at the secondary school level, is crucial for preserving this heritage and ensuring that younger generations appreciate and sustain their cultural identity. Despite its cultural importance, the teaching of Igbo poetry has historically faced significant challenges, primarily due to the limitations of traditional pedagogical methods. These methods according to Anyanwu (2018) which often focus on rote memorization and repetitive exercises, fail to capture the complexities and cultural richness of Igbo poetry. Language and associated cultural knowledge face challenges in the educational context, particularly at the senior secondary school level. The declining interest and achievement in Igbo cultural studies among students necessitate an innovative pedagogical approach to revitalize engagement and learning outcomes.
