Introduction: The process of teaching foreign languages is of great importance today not only scientifically, but also socially and culturally. Globalization and the intensification of international cooperation, the development of information technologies, the growth of intercultural dialogue require the development of new methods of learning and teaching foreign languages. Changes in teaching methodologies have a long history and are aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of language learning. Starting from traditional methods, modern pedagogical methods, including the communicative approach, immersive technologies, interactive teaching and the use of audiovisual tools, provide students with effective results in the process of learning foreign languages. This article discusses the historical changes in methodological approaches to teaching foreign languages, the differences between yesterday's and today's pedagogical methods, and the impact of modern approaches on the effectiveness of language learning. The process of teaching foreign languages has become an integral part of the education system today. Due to globalization and technological 14 THEORETICAL ASPECTS IN THE FORMATION OF PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES International scientific-online conference development, international dialogue and intercultural contacts are increasing, which makes learning a foreign language even more important and necessary. Learning a foreign language plays a major role not only in scientific and academic fields, but also in professional activities. At the same time, methods and pedagogical approaches to teaching foreign languages are constantly developing and require updating. The transition from traditional methods to modern approaches is considered an important issue, increasing the efficiency of the teaching process and creating opportunities for students to use the language in real life. The importance of modern methods in teaching foreign languages is not only to update the educational process, but also to create opportunities for students to teach the language in a lively and practical way, communicate with them and apply what they have learned in real life. There are significant differences between yesterday's and today's pedagogical methods. If in previous years language learning was mainly focused on mastering grammar and expanding vocabulary, today innovative methods such as communicative approaches, immersive technologies, interactive methods and audiovisual tools are used in language learning. Main part: This article will focus on the history of the development of modern methods used in teaching a foreign language, new approaches to their introduction into the education system, as well as how they are effectively used today. The article analyzes the impact of modern methods on the effectiveness of language learning and considers the possibilities of their application in the educational process. The importance and necessity of implementing innovative methods in practice for foreign language teachers is also discussed. Yesterday: Traditional methods and their role in language teaching Traditional methods were mainly aimed at teaching the grammatical and lexical foundations of the language. These methods are based on the continuous transfer and consolidation of knowledge provided by teachers to students. Classical pedagogical approaches, including the grammar-translate method, focused on expanding vocabulary and teaching correct pronunciation. Also, some of these methods could create a passive approach to language in students, making language learning monotonous and boring. However, they were very effective in their time and became the basis for the development of today's modern methods.
