Abstract
This study explores various innovative methods, including technology-enhanced language learning, task-based language teaching (TBLT), content and language integrated learning (CLIL), and gamification/game-based learning, to examine their effectiveness and implications for language education. The findings indicate that technology-enhanced language learning provides engaging and interactive experiences, enhancing learner motivation and language proficiency. TBLT promotes communicative competence and learner autonomy through meaningful and authentic language tasks.
