        abstract = {The Natural Approach, developed by Krashen and Terrell, emphasizes meaningful communication and low-anxiety learning environments to facilitate language acquisition. This study explores the effectiveness of the Natural Approach in enhancing psycholinguistic competency among secondary pupils in Kerala. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research analyzes students’ linguistic progress, cognitive processing, and communicative ability. The findings reveal that students exposed to the Natural Approach demonstrate significant improvement in fluency, comprehension, and confidence in English communication. The study suggests integrating this approach into Kerala’s English curriculum to promote better language acquisition.},
