USING INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN SPECIALIZED MILITARY INSTITUTIONS

Abstract. In the rapidly evolving field of education, exploring innovative teaching methods for effective foreign language acquisition in specialized military institutions holds significant importance. These methods aim to enhance the professional preparedness of military personnel by improving their language proficiency in a shorter time and ensuring long-term retention of learned material. Traditional approaches to language teaching, while valuable, often fail to meet the specific demands of military environments, such as rapid learning, practical communication, and the ability to perform under high stress. Innovative methods address these gaps by focusing on learner-centered approaches that are interactive, practical, and tailored to individual needs. Techniques such as project-based learning, game-based learning, communicative methods, and technology-driven tools play a key role in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and active participation among military learners. These approaches also integrate military-specific requirements, such as clear and concise communication and the use of abbreviations, into language programs. The application of such methods is crucial for preparing personnel for multilingual environments, enabling effective communication during foreign missions, intelligence operations, and conflict resolution. By adopting innovative strategies, military institutions can better equip their personnel to succeed in global security operations, ensuring their language skills contribute directly to mission success.
