dc.description.abstract The main objective of this study was to investigate teachers’ perceptions, their actual classroom practices, and implementation challenges of Communicative Language Teaching in English Classrooms. The study was conducted in a teachers' training college in Jigjiga, Somali Region. All English teachers in the college were participants of the study recruited using the availability sampling technique. The necessary data was collected using three data gathering instruments, such as Questionnaires, Semi-structured Interviews, and Classroom observations. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used for the study. The data gathered through questionnaires and observations were analyzed quantitatively using frequency, percentage, and mean. On the other hand, the data obtained using interviews was analyzed qualitatively in words. The findings revealed that the teachers are aware of CLT principles and have positive attitudes towards CLT. However, it was observed that they face many challenges to implement it in a well-organized manner based on the current trends of language teaching methodologies and language learning principles. Among the challenges arise by teachers so far were students’ background knowledge of the spoken language, fear, lack of confidence, and so forth. In addition, large class sizes, lack of sufficient facilities, and less motivation from the teachers were also mentioned as challenges that hinder for good implementation of CLT in English classrooms. Based on the findings, some recommendation for foreign language teachers to practice Communicative language teaching in foreign language classroom was made. This recommendation focuses on ways of dealing with foreign language teaching communicatively and suggestions to practice accordingly. en_US
