This article explores the importance of interactive methods in English language teaching, focusing on techniques that foster active engagement and enhance students' language skills. Among the methods discussed are brainstorming and case studies, both of which encourage creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities. Brainstorming promotes the generation of ideas without the fear of mistakes, allowing students to freely express their thoughts. The case study method provides students with real-life scenarios, helping them develop critical thinking and decision-making skills by analyzing and solving complex issues. The article emphasizes that these methods not only improve linguistic abilities but also contribute to the development of social and cognitive skills, preparing students for real-world challenges. Through interactive techniques, students become more confident in their language use, making learning both enjoyable and effective.
