The process of teaching foreign languages has undergone significant changes in recent decades. Modern education emphasizes learner-centered approaches that promote active participation and communication in the classroom. Interactive methods have become an essential component of effective language teaching because they encourage collaboration, engagement, and practical language use. This article examines the role of interactive methods in teaching foreign languages and their impact on learners’ communicative competence. The study discusses the theoretical foundations of interactive learning, the main types of interactive methods used in language classrooms, and their advantages for developing language skills. The findings indicate that interactive teaching strategies increase students’ motivation, improve communication abilities, and create a more dynamic learning environment. Therefore, the integration of interactive methods is crucial for improving the quality of foreign language education.
