Effective communication skills are essential in today's interconnected world, and it is crucial to develop these skills early on in education. This study introduces an interactive teaching method aimed at enhancing communication skills among students. The method utilizes various interactive strategies, including group discussions, role-playing, multimedia presentations, and real-world simulations. By actively engaging students in the learning process, this approach fosters the development of effective communication abilities, such as active listening, clarity of expression, nonverbal communication, and conflict resolution. The study investigates the impact of the interactive teaching method on students' communication skills through pre- and post-assessments, student feedback, and observation of classroom interactions. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the method in enhancing students' communication skills and its potential for widespread adoption in educational settings.
