Effective communication and academic achievement in language acquisition depend heavily on the development of speaking and listening abilities. Conventional teaching methods frequently place an emphasis on academic information and memory while ignoring the practical skills that students need to develop. The emphasis is shifted toward quantifiable skills, performance objectives, and real-world application with a competency-based approach (CBA). This article examines how competency-based training, bolstered by various techniques like task-based learning, communicative language teaching, technology-integrated instruction, collaborative learning, and performance-based evaluations, can enhance speaking and listening skills. The importance of developing learner-centered environments where skills are developed through real-world tasks is emphasized in the essay.
