Abstract
The development of communicative competencies is a central goal in contemporary language education. Traditional grammar-focused methods often fail to prepare learners for authentic communication, highlighting the need for innovative approaches. This study explores the application of diverse mixed methodsincluding task-based learning, collaborative activities, peer feedback, reflective practices, and technology-supported instructionto enhance learners communicative skills. By integrating both qualitative and quantitative strategies, these methods provide a holistic framework for improving fluency, accuracy, pragmatic awareness, and learner engagement. The findings indicate that a mixed-methods approach fosters a comprehensive development of communicative competence, promoting both linguistic proficiency and strategic interaction in real-life contexts.
