Abstract
The main objective of this research is to determine the effectiveness of using The Communicative Language Teaching approach with the Genially tool in enhancing English fluency in an eighth-grade class at Instituto Superior Julio Acosta Garcia High School in 2025. This study`s addresses the low level of English fluency among high schoolers by creating engaging activities based on games in an interactive learning environment. The study follows a research design where an observational assessment and teacher interview are first applied to obtain general information of the group and students in order to address them. Then, a pre-test along with a checklist is developed to identify student`s initial challenges in fluency, and after the first stage of the research, six sessions using the Genially tool based on a CLT approach are caried out. After applying the Genially activities, a post-test along with a checklist is applied to measure the student’s level of fluency after the use of the tool. Finally, a third checklist is carried out to analyze the features of the tool in terms of how well Genially influences students' engagement and interest in learning English. The activities developed in class are game-based using genially templates encouraging students to speak through interactive tasks. Results showed significant improvement in student`s English fluency, with an increased willingness to participate in oral activities. The study concludes that integrating the CLT approach with the Genially tool effectively enhances English-speaking fluency.
