Abstract
There is no doubt that the communicative approach is one of the most important methodologies in teaching foreign languages to non-native speakers. Therefore, learners are required to use the language as efficiently as a native speaker. This research thoroughly examines the unique attributes of the communicative approach and offers insights into its effective implementation within the classroom setting. The foundation of this study lies in understanding the functional aspects of language and its practical application in real-world contexts. It explores the methodology for teaching communicative Arabic language skills to non-native speakers. Additionally, the research explores the concept of bridging the gap between linguistic competence and communicative competence among non-native Arabic speakers, highlighting the significance of teaching Arabic through this approach. This study not only provides valuable insights into how the communicative approach can be leveraged when teaching Arabic as a second language but also offers recommendations for its refinement and enhancement.
