Using the communicative language learning approach to develop speaking fluency in A2 students in the at the Dr. Segundo Wong Mayorga Educational Unit

Abstract

This study examines the use of the Communicative Language Learning Approach as an effective strategy to develop speaking fluency in A2-level English students. The research focuses on promoting meaningful interaction through communicative activities such as role-plays, pair work, guided discussions, and task-based learning. These activities are designed to encourage students to use language in real-life contexts, reducing anxiety and increasing confidence when speaking. A qualitative–quantitative approach was applied, including classroom observations, speaking assessments, and student feedback. The findings indicate noticeable improvement in learners’ fluency, coherence, and willingness to communicate in English. Students demonstrated greater spontaneity and accuracy in oral production, as well as improved interaction skills. The study concludes that the Communicative Language Learning Approach significantly enhances speaking fluency in A2 students by creating an engaging, learner-centered environment that prioritizes communication over memorization.
