ENHANCING FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING QUALITY THROUGH INNOVATIVE METHODS IN SPECIALIZED MILITARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the integration of innovative instructional methodologies into English language teaching within Azerbaiajn’s specialized military educational institutions. The article synthesizes the theoretical underpinnings and pedagogical value of task-based learning, project-based learning, technology-enhanced instruction, gamification, the flipped classroom approach, and Universal Design for Learning, assessing their relevance and adaptability to the military education context. Through the combined lens of didactic and psycholinguistic frameworks, the study demonstrates that these approaches substantially strengthen learner motivation, situational language performance, and higher-order communicative skills.
