This article examines the role of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in developing fluency among learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). In many EFL contexts, students have limited exposure to authentic English communication outside the classroom, which makes fluency development particularly challenging. Communicative Language Teaching emphasizes meaningful interaction, learner-centered instruction, and real-life communication tasks. The article discusses the theoretical foundations of CLT, including the concept of communicative competence introduced by Dell Hymes and later expanded by Michael Canale and Merrill Swain. It also explores practical classroom techniques such as role-plays, information gap activities, discussions, and task-based learning. Furthermore, the article analyzes the advantages and challenges of implementing CLT in EFL classrooms. The findings suggest that CLT significantly contributes to the development of speaking fluency by increasing learners’ participation, confidence, and communicative competence.  \nKeywords: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), EFL learners, speaking fluency, communicative competence, learner-centered approach, task-based learning, interactive activities, language acquisition, second language teaching.  \nIn today’s globalized world, English has become an essential tool for communication in education, business, science, and technology. For many learners, English is studied as a foreign language (EFL), which means they have limited exposure to it outside the classroom. As a result, developing fluency—the ability to speak smoothly, confidently, and spontaneously—becomes one of the most challenging goals. Among various teaching approaches, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has gained wide recognition for its effectiveness in promoting real-life communication skills. This article explores the role  \nof Communicative Language Teaching in developing fluency in EFL learners, examining its principles, classroom practices, benefits, and challenges.  \nUnderstanding Communicative Language Teaching. Communicative Language Teaching emerged in the 1970s as a response to traditional grammar-based methods such as the Grammar-Translation Method and the Audio-Lingual Method. Unlike these earlier  \napproaches, which focused heavily on memorization, translation, and structural drills, CLT emphasizes meaningful interaction and authentic communication. The main objective of CLT is to develop communicative competence, a term introduced by the linguist Dell  \n29  \nEuropean science international conference:  \nMODERN PROBLEMS IN EDUCATION AND THEIR SCIENTIFIC  \nSOLUTIONS  \nHymes. Communicative competence goes beyond grammatical accuracy; it includes the ability to use language appropriately in different social contexts. Later, scholars like Michael Canale and Merrill Swain expanded this concept by identifying several components: grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence. In CLT classrooms, language is not treated as a set of isolated rules but as a tool for communication. Students are encouraged to express their ideas, share opinions, solve problems, and participate in discussions using the target language.  \nThe Concept of Fluency in Language Learning. Fluency refers to the ability to speak or write in a language smoothly and naturally, without excessive hesitation. It does not mean perfect grammar or pronunciation. Instead, fluency involves speed, coherence, and confidence in communication. For EFL learners, fluency is often difficult to achieve because they may lack opportunities to practice English in real-life situations.","cbCairm5q9ZKIEQ6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairm5q9ZKIEQ6","pdf",311944,6,"English","# Abstract\n# Understanding Communicative Language Teaching\n# The Concept of Fluency in Language Learning\n# Key Principles of CLT that Promote Fluency\n## Emphasis on Meaning over Form\n## Use of Authentic Materials\n## Interactive Activities\n## Learner-Centered Approach","[{\"question\":\"Why is developing speaking fluency difficult for EFL learners?\",\"answer\":\"EFL learners often have limited exposure to authentic English communication outside the classroom.
