ENCOURAGING THE SHIFT FROM COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING TO COMPETENCE BASED TEACHING

This article examines the pedagogical importance of encouraging the shift from Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to Competence-Based Teaching (CBT) in modern foreign language education. The problem lies in the fact that although communicative language teaching has significantly improved learners’ ability to use language in interactive situations, contemporary educational systems increasingly require broader and more measurable learning outcomes. Communication alone is no longer sufficient; students are expected to demonstrate critical thinking, strategic learning, intercultural awareness, autonomy, and the practical application of knowledge in academic and professional contexts. The study is based on a qualitative theoretical methodology, including descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, literature review, and thematic interpretation. Competence-based teaching promotes not only communicative competence, but also linguistic, pragmatic, discourse, strategic, intercultural, and reflective competencies.
