British education system, foreign language teaching, communicative approach, CLIL, interactive teaching, multimedia tools, language competence, innovative strategies.Abstract
This article explores the application of the British education system’s best practices in teaching foreign languages. The British approach to language instruction emphasizes communicative methods, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), interactive teaching techniques, and the use of multimedia tools to enhance students' linguistic competence. By incorporating these innovative strategies, foreign language acquisition can become more effective and engaging. The study also provides recommendations on how adapting the British model can improve the quality of language education.
