This article examines the effectiveness of integrative methods in developing learners’ language competencies in English language education. The study highlights the pedagogical value of literary genres such as poetry, short stories, drama, and novels in improving students’ linguistic, communicative, and intercultural skills. Integrative approaches including task-based learning, content and language integrated learning (CLIL), and project-based learning are analyzed as effective tools for enhancing learner engagement, motivation, critical thinking, and language retention. The research is based on a survey conducted among 96 participants and demonstrates that the integration of literary genres significantly improves students’ language proficiency and overall academic performance. The findings emphasize the importance of innovative and learner-centered teaching methodologies in modern foreign language instruction.
