Utilizing communication strategies to enhance reflective learning in Ethiopian EFL classrooms

In a context where the English language is taught as a foreign language and used as a medium of instruction, developing the students' communicative competence is at the centre of curriculum and pedagogy. This belief stems from the understanding that students who can effectively and efficiently communicate in the target language are more likely to excel in their academic, professional, and other real-world endeavors. This implies that a pedagogical approach that encourages students to think critically and express their ideas in detail must be emphasized in today's language teaching and learning environments [1].
