Abstract

This article examines three prominent approaches in contemporary English Language Teaching (ELT): Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and Project-Based Language Teaching (PBLT). It discusses their theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and educational benefits in developing communicative competence, learner autonomy, and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, it explores how these approaches can be integrated to foster meaningful, engaging, and student-centered learning experiences in modern classrooms.
