The study confirms that CLT is strongly favoured by these language teachers who, at the same time, encounter certain contextual constraints for practising CLT effectively. Meanwhile it also provides evidence that some newly emerged conditions have created a supportive environment and are conducive to promoting CLT. The study thus also calls for further research to address the identified constraining factors in this regard.展开更多
