Innovative methods in foreign language teaching have transformed traditional educational practices, offering dynamic and engaging approaches to language acquisition. This article explores modern methodologies such as communicative language teaching (CLT), task-based learning (TBL), content and language integrated learning (CLIL), flipped classrooms, gamification, and technology-enhanced language learning (TELL). These methods address learners' diverse needs, foster real-world language application, and incorporate digital tools to enhance engagement and proficiency. By analyzing these approaches, we highlight their effectiveness in creating student-centered, immersive learning environments that align with contemporary educational trends. The study underscores how innovative strategies can overcome common challenges in foreign language education and accelerate language learning outcomes.
