The communicative approach in language education emphasizes meaningful interaction, learner autonomy, and real-life communication. Reading, traditionally viewed as a passive skill, has been reimagined within this framework as an active, dialogic process. This article explores six innovative reading strategies— igsaw reading, joint reading, parallel reading, shared reading, shadow reading, and Jeopardy-based reading—that embody the communicative language teaching (CLT) philosophy. Each method enhances reading comprehension while fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and communicative competence.
