Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent innovations in language teaching methodologies. With the rapid advancement of technology and changing educational landscapes, the field of language teaching has witnessed a plethora of new approaches and techniques designed to enhance the learning experience and outcomes for students. The review explores various methodologies, including flipped classrooms, collaborative learning, gamification, and the integration of technology. Each innovation is examined in terms of its theoretical basis, practical applications, and evidence of their effectiveness in language acquisition. The study concludes that while these methodologies offer promising avenues for language teaching, it is crucial to consider the individual learning needs and context of each educational setting.
