FROM TEXTBOOK TO REAL TALK: STRATEGIES FOR AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION PRACTICE IN THE EFL CLASSROOM

Аннотация

While English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction often begins with structured textbook-based learning, there is a growing agreement among language educators that authentic communication skills are best developed through interaction beyond the page. This paper explores pedagogical strategies that promote meaningful, spontaneous language use in the classroom. Drawing on communicative language teaching (CLT), task-based learning (TBL), and project-based methodologies, the article outlines practical approaches for bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Key words:EFL (English as foreign language) learners, CLT (communicative language teaching), TBL (task based learning), textbooks, peer collaboration, real time communication.
