USE OF INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES

The article explores the use of interactive technologies in teaching a foreign language for professional purposes, which is particularly relevant in the context of modernizing the educational process and adapting to contemporary labor market demands. The study analyzes key interactive methods, including the project-based method, role-playing, debates, case studies, and the use of multimedia tools, as well as their effectiveness in developing the communicative competencies of future professionals. Special attention is given to the theoretical foundations of interactive learning, reviewing key concepts and studies by both domestic and foreign scholars in this field. The advantages of interactive methods over traditional ones are analyzed, particularly their role in increasing student motivation, enhancing the learning process, and developing profession-oriented language skills. The article aims to investigate the impact of interactive technologies on the effectiveness of foreign language teaching in professional education, as well as to identify prospects for their further development and application. Research methods applied: analysis of scientific sources, comparative approach, synthesis method, and generalization method. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of adapting interactive technologies into the curricula of higher education institutions to improve students’ language training. Further research in this area may be aimed at expanding the use of digital technologies in teaching foreign languages. Of particular interest are the possibilities of using artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality to simulate professional situations and improve interactive learning. Another important area is the study of the adaptation of interactive methods for distance education and their impact on the level of learning material.
