Abstract: This article examines contemporary approaches to foreign language instruction and argues for their relevance in technical higher education institutions. Teaching English in non-linguistic universities presents specific challenges, such as varying levels of language proficiency among first-year students, limited class hours dedicated to language learning, diverse class sizes, and low motivation to study a foreign language. Motivation is identified as a crucial factor in the educational process, and fostering motivation among students in technical universities is seen as a key objective. The study suggests that the effectiveness of language classes can be significantly enhanced by aligning the content of the "foreign language" discipline with the professional needs of technical universities. It is observed that interactive learning technologies, including cognitive-communicative and constructivist methods, can be effectively utilized in teaching foreign languages. The research supports the idea that the integration of innovative approaches, such as multimedia teaching tools, in English language instruction can enhance student motivation, provide access to alternative information sources, foster independent thinking, and develop communication skills, as well as cultural and professional competence.
Key words: Language learning, higher education, innovation, technology.
