IMPROVING LISTENING AND SPEAKING VIA COMPETENT BASED APPROACH BY USING DIFFERENT METDODS

Abstract

The development of listening and speaking skills is central to effective communication and academic success in language learning. Traditional teaching approaches often emphasize memorization and theoretical knowledge, overlooking the real-world competencies learners must acquire. A competency-based approach (CBA) shifts the focus toward measurable skills, performance outcomes, and practical application. This article explores how listening and speaking abilities can be improved through competency-based instruction supported by diverse methods such as task-based learning, communicative language teaching, technology-integrated instruction, collaborative learning, and performance-based assessments. The article highlights the significance of creating learner-centered environments where skills are practiced through authentic tasks.
