Communication is mostly related to the speaking skill of a person. Most of the learners of English suffer from a ‘mental block’ which harasses the learners and makes them hurdle while learning to speak English. This block in the minds of the readers is due to the stress and anxiety that they face in the process of learning a foreign language. The anxiety mainly affects the speaking skill of the learners. CLT is one of the recent trends in the field of ELT and it plays a vital role in removing the anxiety from the minds of the learners. This paper discusses in detail about how CLT can be applied to help the English learners acquire the speaking skill comfortably.
