Modern English Teaching Methods

Abstract

This article analyzes the possibilities of using modern methods to teach a foreign language. The main classifications of methods are carried out, allowing the most effective help in teaching English. Language has been and will remain the key to the world of knowledge. Proficiency in multiple languages has been valued since ancient times. At each stage of the development of society, a certain language plays an essential role for all mankind. Knowledge of foreign languages opens new doors for a person to improve and expand his worldview. If earlier knowledge of the German language was required, today, English plays a prominent role. The ability to speak English competently is closely related to its teaching. The modern age requires a new approach, new methods of teaching foreign languages. The main goal of the current school is to awaken in the child's desire to learn, to acquire new knowledge and activities, while building the further direction of their own education. The students are tasked with independently studying, finding, and analyzing materials, while the main task of the teacher is the right direction. The teacher needs to logically and correctly build a lesson so that students are interested in learning English since the practice of the traditional method, forcing students to cram words and grammar in practice, did not give the desired result. The search for new teaching methods is associated with a lack of motivation among students to learn English. Very often, there is no positive motivation because when learning a foreign language, students encounter some difficulties and do not learn the material due to their psychological characteristics. Work experience shows that using various, modern, fresh sources and means provokes students' interest, increasing their motivation to study.
