The Communicative Approach (CA) has emerged as a dominant methodology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, prioritizing meaningful interaction over rote memorization and form-focused drills. This study investigates CA’s effectiveness in enhancing EFL learners’ communicative competence, fluency, accuracy, motivation, and autonomy. Conducted over one academic year with150 learners across three institutions, the mixed-method research combines quantitative assessments (pre-/post-tests, performance scales) with qualitative data (classroom observations, interviews, learner journals). Results indicate that CA significantly improves learners’ ability to negotiate meaning, sustain discourse, and self-correct, while increasing motivation and learner autonomy. Nevertheless, successful implementation hinges on teacher proficiency, supportive curricula, and balanced attention to form. Implications for EFL curriculum design and teacher training are discussed.
