Abstract:
In this research paper, the author examines the evolution of foreign language teaching, and how traditional methods underperform in achieving contemporary teaching goals in a globalized and technologically advanced society. Following the pedagogical shift from traditional and outdated approaches to contemporary and outcome-oriented methods, the focus is on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). The aim of this paper is to explore how teaching principles of CLT, such as authentic interactions, learner autonomy, and taskbased learning can be additionally enhanced by emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Immersive Environments (IE). By analysing recent studies of AI and IE implementation in foreign language teaching, the author highlights the role of emerging technologies in reducing student anxiety and supporting safe learning environments. Finally, the author argues that integration of innovative technologies is necessary to develop linguistic and digital competencies in a complex society.
