This empirical research study emphasizes the significance of communication strategies that assist rural learners’ language learning progress. It examines the opinion of learners about the learning methodology, classroom instruction, and communicative competency. The findings of a questionnaire survey of second-year rural students revealed that classroom teaching and activity-based education positively influence communicative proficiency. The reliability of the data is confirmed through Cronbach’s Alpha. The alpha value is .803. The outcomes of the data also revealed that the teacher’s competency is one of the major components that promote communicative competency. It creates variations in the communicative competency of learners. The ANOVA findings revealed that rural learners’ communicative competency varied depending on the type of college. According to the research, effective classroom teaching using the TBLT method can improve learners' communicative competency.
