Abstract: This paper investigates the pivotal function of interactive discourse in enhancing language acquisition within communicative classroom settings. It emphasizes how discourse-oriented approaches contribute to the development of not only language proficiency but also learners’ critical thinking, social engagement, and independent learning. The study reviews effective strategies such as pair work, group collaboration, and dialogic teacher-student interaction, along with the use of digital tools to support both synchronous and asynchronous exchanges. By addressing typical instructional challenges and sharing practical examples, the article provides valuable recommendations for educators aiming to build dynamic, communication-focused language learning environments.
