PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF USING INTERACTIVE METHODS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSES

This article examines the pedagogical foundations of using interactive methods in English language classes within the framework of modern educational paradigms. The study analyzes theoretical approaches such as constructivism, activity theory, communicative language teaching, and competency-based education. The effectiveness of interactive strategies—including project-based learning, debates, brainstorming, case studies, and collaborative learning—is substantiated through pedagogical analysis and experimental data. The findings indicate that interactive methods significantly enhance students’ communicative competence, critical thinking skills, motivation, and learner autonomy. The research confirms that systematic integration of interactive technologies contributes to improving the quality of English language instruction in higher education.
