"The participatory approach" is a method of instruction that allows students to focus on topics and material of personal interest. According to Freire, illiteracy is the root cause of oppression, and the goal of education should be to equip students to take charge of their own liberation from oppressive social conditions (Spencer 1992). The participatory method is classified as "content-based instruction" (CBI) since it employs predetermined subjects. Rather than being abstract, the themes are grounded in the lives of the students and focus on how language study can be utilised to address societal challenges. The purpose of this research was to examine how using a participatory approach affected EFL students' linguistic competence. In addition, this research set out to determine if and how a more interactive classroom setting affected students' ability to pick up grammatical and lexical basics. The survey also aimed to investigate the perspective held by educators and students with regards to this matter.Along with the survey, pretested questionnaires were given to 49 students. These questions took into account numerous relevant characteristics.
