This study investigates how effective Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is in boosting students' English speaking proficiency. Through an analysis of ten chosen journal articles, the research consistently demonstrates that CLT notably improves speaking skills in diverse educational contexts. CLT promotes greater fluency, self-assurance, drive, and involvement among students, encouraging active participation and moving the classroom towards a learner-focused setting. Activities such as role-playing and group discussions create authentic learning situations, increasing students' enthusiasm for speaking English. While challenges like large class sizes and limited resources were identified , CLT is still a very effective and flexible method for developing communication skills. These findings highlight CLT's importance as a core approach for teaching English.
