Аннотация

This study explores the effectiveness of various methodologies employed in English language instruction, with a particular focus on how teachers implement and adapt pedagogical strategies in real classroom settings. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student performance records, the research identifies key practices that contribute to successful language acquisition. Emphasis is placed on the integration of communicative language teaching (CLT), task-based learning, and differentiated instruction, as well as the use of technological tools to support learner engagement. The findings reveal that flexibility, contextual awareness, and a learner-centered approach are critical components of effective English teaching. This paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on pedagogical best practices, offering practical insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers aiming to enhance the quality of English language education across diverse learning environments.
