METHODS OF USING MODERN FORMS IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS
Abstract
This article examines the methods of using modern forms in teaching English to higher education students. In the context of globalization and rapid technological development, English language teaching in universities requires innovative, student-centered, and practice-oriented approaches. The study analyzes the pedagogical potential of blended learning, interactive methods, project-based learning, multimedia tools, digital platforms, and collaborative activities in the development of students’ language competence. Special attention is given to the role of these modern forms in improving communication skills, independent thinking, creativity, and professional language use. The article argues that the effective integration of modern educational forms into English language instruction significantly increases the quality of learning and contributes to the preparation of competitive specialists for the modern labor market.
