This article explores the effectiveness of teaching language through inquiry-based technology and a research-based approach in modern education. Emphasis is placed on how inquiry encourages active learning, critical thinking, and learner autonomy, while research-oriented strategies strengthen analytical and problem-solving skills. The integration of these approaches helps students develop intellectual independence and motivation for lifelong learning. The article reviews key theoretical perspectives, practical classroom applications, and challenges faced by educators. Findings suggest that inquiry-based and research-driven methods foster deeper understanding of language structures, improve communicative competence, and enhance academic performance.
