Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores how Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) can address identified learning gaps in English proficiency among students at a private college in Northern Mindanao. The research investigates students' difficulties in applying communication models, analyzing reading materials, and composing structured academic papers. Employing a qualitative research design, data was collected through focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that CLT significantly improves students' engagement, confidence, and comprehension, particularly in applying communication theories, structuring written outputs, and critical reading. The study proposes an intervention program integrating CLT principles to enhance language instruction effectiveness. This research contributes to English language pedagogy by demonstrating CLT’s applicability in improving core competencies and fostering communicative competence among students in higher education.
