Keywords:
English language teaching, modern teaching methods, communicative approach, interactive learning, digital technology, learner-centered instruction.Abstract
The process of teaching English has changed considerably due to new educational demands and technological progress. Methods that once focused mainly on grammar instruction and memorization are now being replaced by approaches that encourage communication, interaction, and active participation. This study examines modern methods used in English language teaching and analyzes their influence on student learning. The research is based on the analysis of theoretical works and classroom practices. The findings show that interactive activities, communicative techniques, and the use of digital tools contribute to more effective learning outcomes. Students become more confident in using the language and show greater motivation during lessons. The study highlights the importance of adapting teaching methods to current educational needs and emphasizes the role of teachers in creating meaningful learning environments.
