INTRODUCTION
In today's educational landscape, embracing innovative methods is crucial within academic institutions. The incorporation of modern approaches not only enhances education but also empowers individuals, strengthens governance, and fosters the internationalization of the learning process. Specifically, when teaching English, utilizing innovative methods is pivotal, with technology becoming an integral part both inside and outside the classroom. This integration allows teachers to adapt activities, thereby enriching the language learning experience.
It is essential that English language learners appreciate the beauty of a foreign language during lessons. This can be achieved through diverse active forms and work

methods. In addition to emotional development, the modern generation's education and upbringing emphasize increasing students' intellectual potential. English language classes inundate students with a wealth of information, influencing the learning process. The effective use of international technologies in language learning serves a broad range of functions.
Contemporary communicative methodology introduces active and unconventional teaching methods to facilitate a more conscious assimilation of educational material. Practical experience has highlighted the effectiveness of various forms of work, including individual, pair, group, and team activities. The successful implementation of these methods is contingent upon the development and application of suitable learning technologies. The transformative goal of education should shift from being a mere preparation for life to becoming an integral part of life itself. This transformation can be realized through an innovative approach that fosters an interactive learning environment.
The term "interactive," derived from the English words "inter" (mutual) and "act," emphasizes the essence of interaction. Interactive learning is characterized by a dialogue-based mode where participants in the educational process engage with the goal of mutual understanding, collaborative problem-solving, and the cultivation of students' personal qualities. To achieve communicative competence - encompassing language knowledge, skills, and abilities - I employ cutting-edge teaching methods that integrate communicative and cognitive objectives. Innovative foreign language teaching methods, grounded in an innovative approach, aim to nurture individual development, tapping into latent capabilities and creative potential.
The core principles of contemporary methods involve transitioning from the holistic to the specific, prioritizing student-centered approaches, conducting purposeful and meaningful classes, and emphasizing social interaction with the teacher's unwavering faith in their students' success. These methods also advocate for language integration and interdisciplinary learning.
Modern communicative methods advocate for the incorporation of active and non-standard teaching approaches to enhance the conscious assimilation of educational material. Notably effective in practice are individual, pair, group, and team work. The integration of modern technologies includes cooperative learning methods, actively applied in the educational process. This method entails creating conditions for active collaboration among students in various learning situations. Students are organized into small groups, assigned a task, and tasked with discussing each member's role. Each student bears responsibility not only for their individual work but also for the overall group outcome. This collaborative approach promotes

knowledge sharing, with weaker students seeking guidance from stronger ones, and vice versa, fostering a collective benefit by addressing knowledge gaps within the entire class.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The introduction of informational technologies in English language lessons enhances students' interest, activates their thinking, individualizes instruction, and accelerates the learning pace. A technology-enhanced teaching environment proves more effective than traditional lecture-based classes. Teachers need to explore ways of incorporating technology as a valuable learning tool, even if they aren't technology experts. Traditional teaching methods must evolve in line with technological advancements.
Multimedia texts in the classroom assist learners in familiarizing themselves with vocabulary and language structures. Utilizing multimedia, including print texts, film, and the internet, enriches learners' linguistic knowledge. The application of computer technology, as noted by scholars like Bennett, Culp, Honey, Tally, and Spielvogel, contributes to the improvement of teaching and learning in classrooms. However, the positive impact of computer technology depends on how teachers integrate it into their language instruction.
Various technologies can be employed for teaching instruction, such as social media, web-based learning, and mobile learning. Social media facilitates communication among students, enhancing their communicative competence. Web-based learning provides interactive opportunities with teachers, students, and learning materials. Mobile learning, including Podcasts, improves writing skills and fosters student independence and motivation.
Bongolan (2008) identified six key strategies to aid students in developing their English language skills:
Vocabulary and Language Development: This strategy involves introducing new concepts by discussing key vocabulary words related to the concept. For instance, exploring academic terms like "algorithm" initiates a series of lessons on broader mathematical concepts, contributing to students' background knowledge.
Guided Interaction: In this approach, teachers structure lessons to encourage collaborative understanding among students. Through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities, students collectively engage with academic concepts present in the text.

Metacognition and Authentic Assessment: Rather than relying on rote memorization, this strategy emphasizes teachers modeling and explicitly teaching thinking skills (metacognition) crucial for learning new concepts. Authentic assessments, using various activities to gauge understanding, recognize the diverse ways second language learners can demonstrate comprehension without solely relying on advanced language skills.
Explicit Instruction: This strategy involves direct teaching of concepts, academic language, and reading comprehension strategies essential for completing classroom tasks.
Meaning-Based Context and Universal Themes: Connecting academic concepts to students' everyday lives or cultural backgrounds is the focus here. Research suggests that when students find relevance and connection to their lives or cultures, their motivation increases, leading to improved learning rates.
Modeling, Graphic Organizers, and Visuals: The use of various visual aids, such as pictures, diagrams, and charts, benefits all students, especially English Language Learners (ELLs). Visuals enhance the recognition of essential information and its relationship to supporting ideas, making both language and content more accessible.
Implementing these strategies in English language teaching can provide a comprehensive and effective approach to language development and academic engagement.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it is imperative to engage learners through contemporary methods. Computer technology is an integral aspect of the learning process, transferring skills to students. Language teachers should encourage technology use for language skill development, and universities should prioritize technology in teaching programs. Technology experts should support teachers, and lesson materials should focus on teaching and learning rather than solely on technological issues. The shift towards interactive methods is crucial for creating a new type of linguistic personality and meeting the requirements of modern language teaching standards in countries like Uzbekistan.
