Keywords:
language teaching, problem-solving, methodology, educational process, communicative competence, interactive approach, motivation, experimental lessons, language methodologyAbstract
This article analyzes the role and effectiveness of problem-solving methodology in foreign language teaching in the educational process. During the study, it was shown how classes organized on the basis of problem tasks increase students' language competence, independent thinking ability, and readiness for communication. As determined on the basis of experimental lessons, this methodology strengthens students' motivation for the lesson, forms the ability to use the language in real-life tasks, and develops social and communicative competencies. The article also offers practical recommendations for integrating problem-based methodology into language education.
