Abstract
Teaching foreign languages has become increasingly important in the globalized world. Various methods have been developed to enhance the effectiveness of language teaching and cater to diverse learners’ needs. Traditional methods such as the Grammar-Translation Method and the Direct Method have played a significant role in the past. However, modern approaches like the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Learning (TBL), and the Audio-Lingual Methods prioritize practical communication and real-world interaction. This article provides an overview of these methods, comparing their effectiveness, implementation, and relevance in today’s language classrooms. Educators can significantly enhance foreign language learning by using suitable teaching methods and taoloning them to learners needs.
