The use of interactive methods in foreign language instruction is gaining traction as educators recognize the importance of creating active, communicative learning environments. This article explores several interactive methods, including task-based language learning (TBLT), communicative language teaching (CLT) and role-playing, technology-enhanced language learning (TELL), and collaborative learning. These methods aim to foster student engagement, contextualize language use, and develop practical communicative skills. Interactive approaches have proven to be particularly effective for second language acquisition (SLA), as they emphasize the real-life application of language skills and student-centered learning.
