THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERACTIVE METHODS IN TEACHING PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH TO TECHNICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

This article explores the impact of interactive teaching methodologies on the English language proficiency and professional communicative competence of technical students. As the global engineering landscape demands high levels of collaboration and technical literacy, traditional lecture-based models are increasingly viewed as insufficient. This study evaluates various interactive strategies—including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), gamification, and role-playing—within the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) framework. Our analysis suggests that these methods significantly enhance student engagement, retention of technical vocabulary, and the ability to apply language skills in simulated professional environments.
