This article investigates modern pedagogical approaches used to develop language skills in higher education. It emphasizes the transition from traditional grammar-focused instruction to communicative, learner-centered, and technology-enhanced methods. The paper examines strategies such as task-based learning, blended education, and the integration of digital platforms, highlighting their role in improving students’ communicative competence, critical thinking, and intercultural awareness. The research concludes that a combination of interactive, reflective, and technology-oriented approaches provides the most effective framework for language skill development in the 21st century.
