THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING INTERACTIVE METHODS IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of interactive methods in teaching English and their role in improving students’ language skills. Interactive teaching methods encourage learners to participate actively in the educational process rather than simply receive information from the teacher. Such methods include pair work, group work, role-playing, discussions, educational games, problem-solving activities, and project-based learning. The article discusses how these approaches contribute to the development of speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. Particular attention is paid to the role of student-centered learning and communication in creating a positive and motivating classroom environment. The analysis shows that the systematic use of interactive methods can increase students’ motivation, confidence, classroom participation, and communicative competence. The teacher’s role as a facilitator is also considered important for organizing effective interactive activities
