THE METHODS AND AIDS IN THE PRESENTATION OF TEACHING MATERIALS IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Teaching English as a second language (ESL) or foreign language (EFL) has evolved significantly with the advent of diverse teaching methods and technological aids. This article examines the most effective strategies in English language teaching (ELT), including Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and Project-Based Learning (PBL). It also explores the integration of technology, such as language learning apps, interactive whiteboards, and online platforms, which have enhanced the accessibility and engagement of language learners. Additionally, the role of visual and auditory aids, including flashcards, videos, and songs, is analyzed for their impact on vocabulary retention and language comprehension. The importance of formative assessments and automated feedback tools in tracking progress and improving learning outcomes is also highlighted. The findings suggest that a combination of interactive teaching methods, technological tools, and continuous assessment can significantly improve English language proficiency and overall student engagement.
