MODERN APPROACHES TO TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Аннотация:

This article provides a comprehensive overview of various methods for teaching foreign languages, exploring both traditional and contemporary approaches and the article considers some innovative methods of teaching a foreign language at a non-linguistic university. It examines prominent methods including the Grammar-Translation Method, Direct Method, Communicative Approach, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), Total Physical Response (TPR), and the Audio-Lingual Method. Each method is analyzed in terms of its principles, strengths, and limitations, highlighting how they address different aspects of language acquisition such as grammar, vocabulary, and communicative competence. The new requirements for student’s education, which assume that they have relevant professional  competencies,  including  foreign  language  communicative  competence,  actualize research  attention  to  different  approaches,  technologies  and  conditions  aimed  at  improving the quality of higher education.
