Innovative Methods of Foreign Language Teaching to Technical Students

Abstract

This article explores innovative methods of teaching foreign languages to technical students. The specialized nature of technical fields requires tailored approaches to language learning to effectively meet the needs of students. Various innovative methods are discussed, including Task-Based Learning (TBL), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Project-Based Learning (PBL), Gamification, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications, Flipped Classroom, Authentic Materials usage, and Role-Playing and Simulation.

These methods aim to engage technical students in language learning by incorporating real-world technical scenarios, practical problem-solving tasks, collaborative projects, gaming elements, immersive experiences through VR and AR, online resources for self-study, authentic materials specific to technical fields, and role-playing activities. By utilizing these innovative approaches, foreign language teachers can create dynamic and effective learning environments that enhance language skills while addressing the unique requirements of technical education.
