    [abstract] => This paper investigates the efficacy of interactive pedagogies—specifically drama-based activities, simulations, and peer learning—in enhancing communicative competence among secondary-level ESL learners in Indian classrooms. Grounded in sociocultural and constructivist learning theories, the study positions these modalities as pedagogically potent alternatives to the traditional grammar-translation approach still prevalent in many Indian schools. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research was conducted across four diverse secondary schools in West Bengal and Maharashtra. Quantitative data from pre- and post-intervention assessments demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all four sub-domains of communicative competence—grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic. Qualitative feedback from learners and teachers underscored the emotional, cognitive, and social benefits of interactive instruction, with drama emerging as the most engaging modality. Nevertheless, challenges such as time constraints, lack of teacher training, and student hesitancy were identified as key barriers. The paper proposes context-sensitive solutions aligned with India’s National Education Policy (2020), advocating scalable, modular implementations and teacher capacity-building. By weaving empirical evidence with pedagogical reflection, this study contributes a nuanced, actionable framework for enriching English language education in India through interactive, learner-centred methodologies.
