The usefulness and significance of contemporary approaches to teaching foreign languages are examined in this thesis. Traditional methods of education have been steadily supplanted in recent years by creative strategies that prioritize learner-centered curriculum, technology integration, and real-world language experiences. This study highlights the potential for improving student competency and engagement by evaluating the advantages and difficulties of these contemporary techniques. This research offers a thorough examination of the use and efficacy of these contemporary techniques in teaching foreign languages, drawing on a variety of empirical investigations and case studies.
