Language teaching methodology has undergone important changes over the years as educators and scholars continue to search for effective strategies to improve students’ language learning outcomes. Traditional teaching methods such as GTM, Direct method focused mainly on grammar instruction and translation exercises, while modern approaches emphasize communication, interaction, and learner autonomy. This article examines several important language teaching methods, including the Grammar Translation Method, Communicative Language Teaching, Total Physical Response, Project-Based Learning, and the Silent Way. In addition to theoretical analysis, the study reflects on practical teaching experience gained during a one-month internship at a school. During this period, different teaching methods, were used in classes of different levels, allowing observation of students’ reactions and learning progress.
