Résumé : The book explores the challenges that undergraduate tertiary students encounter in the development of communicative competence skills in English language in the three selected tertiary institutions in Lesotho. The book begins by providing a comprehensive background of second language teaching and learning and the challenges that both lecturers and students face in the ESL classroom. Furthermore, a comprehensive literature that explores different effective teaching methods as well as approaches that may hinder second language learning is reviewed. Brain has been found as the major part that should be considered in the language classroom because different students learn language from the left hemisphere while others learn from the right hemisphere, so it is of paramount importance that teachers consider this part as they teach. Moreover, findings from data collected using qualitative approach reveal a number of challenges that students encounter such as traditional teaching methods. In this regard, the book therefore provides different teaching methods that could be used to enhance students' communicative competence in English language.
