Innovative teaching strategies, English language learning, university education, student engagement, technology integrationAbstract
This research examines the effects of novel pedagogical approaches on English language acquisition at the tertiary level. The increasing demand for English competence in higher education renders conventional teaching approaches inadequate for effectively engaging pupils. Utilizing student-centered learning methodologies, integrating technology, and adding global viewpoints can augment student engagement, motivation, and total language acquisition. The study used a mixed-methods approach, integrating surveys, interviews, and case studies from diverse universities globally. Research demonstrates that creative tactics markedly enhance learning results; nonetheless, obstacles such as faculty training and technological accessibility persist. The research offers suggestions for educators and policymakers to enhance English language teaching in higher education institutions.
