Monologues serve as an effective medium of instruction in English language learning, providing learners with opportunities to develop speaking skills, coherence, and fluency. This study explores successful strategies for integrating monologues into instructional practices, drawing insights from recent research. Techniques such as scaffolded monologue tasks, reflective speaking exercises, and the use of digital platforms enhance student engagement and language proficiency. By incorporating structured monologue tasks with peer feedback, educators can create a communicative and immersive learning environment. This article highlights the pedagogical benefits and challenges of using monologues and proposes strategies to maximize their instructional potential. Findings suggest that strategic use of monologues fosters linguistic competence, critical thinking, and self-expression, making them a valuable tool in language education.
