Abstract

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Libya. Despite CLT being a widely accepted approach globally, it faces resistance in Libyan classrooms due to cultural beliefs, teacher preparation, exam systems, and traditional educational practices. The author argues that successful implementation of CLT requires an understanding of local educational values and calls for a flexible, culturally sensitive approach to teaching English in Libya.
