Modern foreign language teaching has undergone significant transformation due to advances in linguistic theory, pedagogical methodology, and digital technology. This article explores the philological foundations of language acquisition and the latest methodological approaches that enhance teaching effectiveness. Key language learning theories such as behaviorism, constructivism, and communicative language teaching are analyzed alongside contemporary techniques including interactive technologies, gamification, and blended learning. The pivotal role of the teacher’s linguistic competence and motivational strategies for learners are also examined. The study highlights the integration of philological insights with practical teaching methods to improve language education outcomes in diverse learning environments.
