Teachers should provide classroom work which involves students in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language. This paper deals with the importance of effective teaching, the role and the task that a teacher should have in his/her class, using the right techniques and strategies of teaching helping students reach their goals. It is seen not just with theoretical plan but even a practical side of it. What students learn in class cannot be transferred in the real world. To overcome this difficulty, we have to expose them to the real language or situations which are provided by the use of authentic materials. There are made surveys of the teaching process in elementary and high schools in Vlora to conduct this study.展开更多

Therefore, in the skills of reading, writing, listening, interactive speaking, and in the spoken production of giving a speech or presentation, should fall the teacher＇s （and by extension, his students＇） competencies--linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic.

This paper postulates on the teaching of communicative competence, as it brings teachers to terms with the task of preparing students for their new role in the classroom And, the research recommends strategies to enhance the communicative competence of the Nigerian teacher for effective classroom teaching of English beyond the traditional ESL concems.展开更多
