EFFECTIVENESS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Abstract
Effective foreign language teaching is essential in preparing learners for global communication and cultural exchange. This study explores the critical components that enhance foreign language education, including instructional strategies, technological integration, cultural immersion, and teacher competencies. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research highlights the significance of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and task-based learning, along with the impact of digital tools like mobile apps and virtual reality in fostering engagement and accessibility. Cultural immersion and teacher adaptability also emerged as pivotal factors in achieving language proficiency. Despite advancements, challenges such as resource disparities and digital literacy gaps persist. The findings underscore the need for a holistic, equitable approach to language education, combining innovative methodologies and inclusive policies to create effective learning environments.
