Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the historical evolution of English Language Teaching (ELT) methodologies, analyzing key shifts from traditional grammar-focused approaches to contemporary communicative and task-based strategies. By tracing the development of different teaching methods- from the Grammar-Translation Method to Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT)- the paper highlights how theories of language acquisition and technological advancements have shaped ELT practices. The study emphasizes the transition from rote memorization and grammatical accuracy to real-world communication and interactive learning, addressing both the benefits and challenges of these approaches. The research also discusses the impact of technological innovations, such as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), in transforming language teaching, providing more personalized and flexible learning experiences. This article provides a comprehensive overview of how ELT methodologies have adapted to meet the changing needs of learners in an increasingly interconnected world.
