In the modern globalized world, the ability to communicate in English has become an essential component of education and professional development. Teaching English as a second language (ESL) requires innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance learners’ communicative competence and practical language skills. This article analyzes modern methodological approaches used in teaching English as a second language and examines their impact on the effectiveness of the educational process. The study focuses on communicative language teaching, competence-based learning, interactive methods, and the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in language education. Theoretical perspectives of both international and Uzbek scholars are analyzed to determine their relevance in modern language teaching practices. The findings suggest that applying interactive and communicative approaches significantly improves learners’ language proficiency and motivation. The study also highlights the importance of modern pedagogical technologies in improving the quality of English language education
