Using New Interactive Learning Methods In A Foreign Language Lessons

The rapid transformation of educational practices in the 21st century has emphasized the importance of interactive learning methods in foreign language classrooms. Traditional teacher-centered approaches are increasingly being replaced by learner-centered strategies that foster communication, collaboration, and creativity. This article explores the integration of new interactive techniques—such as digital simulations, role-play activities, gamification, and collaborative online platforms—into foreign language lessons. Drawing on recent studies conducted in Uzbekistan and international contexts (2019–2024), the paper highlights how these methods enhance learner motivation, improve linguistic competence, and support intercultural awareness. The findings suggest that interactive approaches not only strengthen language acquisition but also cultivate critical thinking and adaptability, which are essential skills in today’s globalized world. Practical recommendations are provided for teachers seeking to implement innovative strategies that align with modern educational reforms and student needs.
