It explores the impact of activities such as pair work, group discussions, role-playing, and open speaking exercises on enhancing students' oral abilities. Furthermore, the paper contrasts traditional teaching methods with communicative approaches, explaining the greater effectiveness of communicative techniques in boosting classroom engagement.
