INNOVATIVE METHODS OF WORKING WITH TEXTS IN TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The ability to work effectively with texts plays a crucial role in the development of learners’ reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This paper reviews recent literature on innovative methods of working with texts, highlighting strategies that engage students actively in the reading process. The study focuses on techniques such as task-based learning, text-based analysis, and interactive reading approaches that help learners interpret meaning, identify language patterns, and apply knowledge in communicative contexts. By synthesizing the findings of various scholars, the paper aims to provide teachers with a set of practical recommendations to enhance learners’ engagement and understanding of texts. The results of this theoretical analysis demonstrate that integrating innovative text-based strategies not only improves reading comprehension but also fosters overall communicative competence.
