Аннотация

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has been widely adopted as an effective approach to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, promoting learners' communicative competence through interactive and learner-centered activities. In Uzbekistan, the implementation of CLT in EFL classrooms faces several challenges, including large class sizes, limited resources, traditional teaching practices, and insufficient teacher training. This article examines these challenges and discusses potential strategies to enhance the effectiveness of CLT in the Uzbek EFL context.
