Abstract: Teaching English to students majoring in international relations (IR) encompasses specialized methodologies designed to provide students with the language skills necessary to communicate effectively in a globalized and diplomatically complex field. As English has become the dominant lingua franca in international discourse, the demand for proficient speakers of IR has increased dramatically, prompting teachers to adapt their teaching strategies to these specific professional requirements. The significance of this topic lies in its relevance to the growing interconnectedness of global affairs, where fluency in English is essential for negotiating, analyzing, and collaborating with international stakeholders. This article discusses the application of well known methodologies, such as communicative language teaching (CLT) and discussion based learning, roundtables, projects, and presentations, in the English classroom for second year international students at the Faculty of Law and International Relations of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University. These methodologies not only prepare students for real world interactions, but also develop critical thinking and adaptability, and contribute to improving their English language proficiency, thereby improving their academic performance and professional readiness in a competitive global arena.
