THE ROLE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL AND ONLINE APPROACHES

Abstract

this article discusses the methodological capabilities of innovative technologies in the context of comparing traditional and online approaches to teaching a foreign language. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that although digital platforms, artificial intelligence tools, mobile applications and blended learning models are widespread in the higher education space, their correlation with traditional classroom learning still requires systematic interpretation. The purpose of the article is to identify the effective aspects of innovative technologies in the methodology of teaching foreign languages through a comparative analysis of traditional and online formats and to present a practical example of their application in the conditions of a higher educational institution. As a result, it is proved that innovative technologies are not a complete substitute, but a tool that, when pedagogically accurately organized, expands the possibilities of traditional learning, strengthens student autonomy and accelerates feedback.
