CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO INSTRUCTING STUDENTS IN ENGLISH
Abstract
Essentially, teaching involves both giving and receiving information. Teachers strive to impart knowledge in the way they understand it, and using innovative methods in education can improve learning and empower individuals. With numerous educational options available, new trends have emerged that are changing the traditional system of education. Recent developments highlight the importance of the education sector, emphasizing quality over quantity and the use of technology. The field of English Language Teaching (ELT) is also constantly evolving, with new trends and methodologies being used worldwide. The study of classical Latin and its grammar has influenced foreign language teaching, leading to new approaches such as the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM) and communicative methods.
