Challenges in Teaching Communicative Competence to Students

The teaching of communicative competence in language education is crucial for fostering effective communication skills in students. This paper explores the challenges faced by educators in teaching communicative competence, focusing on linguistic, sociocultural, and pedagogical factors. The study identifies barriers such as limited exposure to authentic language use, diverse student backgrounds, and curriculum constraints. Recommendations for overcoming these challenges include adopting interactive and context-based learning methods, enhancing teacher training, and promoting learner autonomy. The findings underscore the importance of addressing these challenges to improve the effectiveness of language teaching.
