The article integrates theoretical perspectives and empirical studies to highlight the efficacy of these strategies in enhancing communicative competence. Key findings suggest that interaction-focused environments, constructive feedback mechanisms, and reflective practices significantly improve learners’ communication abilities. This research provides insights into optimizing language pedagogy to foster practical communication skills.
