dc.descriptionCommunicative Language Teaching (CLT) has been broadly explored and studied by many researchers in the English language teaching field. However, there are only few studies that explicitly focus on CLT and its use in the Malaysian polytechnic context especially after the shift in the Polytechnics English syllabus from English for Specific Purposes to Communicative English in 2011. After six years of the implementation of Communicative English (CE) in the polytechnics, polytechnics students’ English proficiency level is still not satisfactory. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the use of CLT in the teaching of English course among lecturers in Malaysian polytechnics focusing on the issues/challenges faced by the lecturers, lecturers’ level of understanding and level of CLT implementation. Respondents for this study were 90 English lecturers teaching in the southern zone polytechnics. The main modes of data collection consisted of questionnaire, classroom observation and structured interview. The collected data was analysed using SPSS 22.0 for descriptive and inferential analysis. Standard deviation was used to identify the lecturers’ level of understanding of CLT and the overall lecturers’ level of understanding is moderate which is 0.45. As for level of CLT implementation, the CLT implementation is high which is 0.21 and the issues/challenges faced is moderate which is 0.42. MANOVA analysis results revealed that there was no significant difference between lecturers’ understanding of CLT, CLT implementation and the issues/challenges based on highest degree earned and teaching experiences. On the other hand, the result demonstrates that there is significant impact of interaction between highest degree earned and teaching experience on the issues/challenges. The result from the observation reveals that overall the lecturers are implementing CLT in their classroom and the interviews reveal that most lecturers face some issues/challenges from students and educational system. The result suggests that by overcoming the issues/challenges, the lecturers and students can benefit from CLT in the English language classroom, thus helping polytechnic students to communicate well in their working environment.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available
