Abstract
Innovative approaches in teaching English as a foreign language have
transformed the traditional classroom into a dynamic and interactive learning
environment. This article explores modern methods, including gamification, flipped
classroom, blended learning, and the use of artificial intelligence tools. The practical
applications of these approaches are analyzed, highlighting their impact on students’
motivation, engagement, and language acquisition. By integrating innovative
strategies, teachers can enhance students’ communicative competence and critical
thinking skills while fostering a more enjoyable and effective learning experience.
