Teaching the English language to non-native students at Hau Giang community college is a concern for instructors. This research was conducted to examine whether the CLT approach is the effective teaching method that students expect. The research used survey questionnaires for teachers and students. The participants consisted of 16 teachers of English and 23 EFL students at Hau Giang community college. The quantitative data was collected through the Google form application. The finding indicates that necessary factors such as classroom activities, appropriate teaching materials, and media aim to create a communication environment that gives learners some chances to interact with each other. The study results confirmed that CLT is an appropriate and effective teaching method for students here until now.
