Nowadays, teaching a foreign language to students has come a long way since its early days necessitating a lot of skills together with innovative approaches. So, modern teachers are investigating through different methodologies to facilitate learning process emphasizing organic exposure to authentic materials over rote memorization. As a result, educators are giving precedence to CLT( Communicative language teaching) to advance its effectiveness mainly due to a wide range of benefits it offers to learners. Especially, among four fundamental language skills reading is often argued as rather underrepresented in terms of CLT integration rather than the introduction of CLT into teaching receptive skills like listening and speaking. So, it is gaining worldwide attention though it is a comparatively new phenomenon. This article highlights the implementation of CLT in fostering reading proficiency effectively and making this process more engaging and less stressful in ESL classroom through different strategies and techniques.
