Abstract
This article analyzes modern approaches to developing speaking skills in language education. It focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Learning (TBL), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and interactive methods like role-plays and debates. Based on the theories of Dell Hymes, Canale, and Swain, the study explores how these methodologies transform students from passive learners into active communicators. The research highlights the importance of integrating language learning with real-life situations to build communicative competence. The findings conclude that these interactive strategies effectively improve students' oral proficiency, critical thinking, and social interaction skills.
