   Introduction 

      In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to speak multiple languages is more than just a valuable skill enhanced career opportunities, and deeper interpersonal connections. Teaching foreign languages has thus become a cornerstone of modern education, reflecting the growing need for global communication and collaboration.  This article explores the diverse strategies and methods that educators are using to make foreign language learning both effective and enjoyable.

       Methods Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Overview: 

 CLT focuses on enabling students to communicate effectively and fluently in real-life situations. The approach emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.Implementation: Lessons are centered around activities that require authentic communication, such as role-playing, group discussions, and problem-solving tasks. Grammar and vocabulary are taught in context rather than through isolated drills, with a focus on function rather than form.

Using Multimedia Resources Overview:

 Incorporating movies, music, podcasts, and other multimedia resources into language instruction can greatly enhance the learning experience by providing context and engaging students’ senses.Teachers can use films and TV shows in the target language to improve listening skills and expose students to natural, everyday speech. Music can be used to teach rhythm, pronunciation, and vocabulary, while podcasts can offer insights into culture and current events.

Vocabulary Building Techniques Overview: 

A strong vocabulary is essential for language proficiency. Effective vocabulary teaching involves not just learning words but understanding their usage in context.Teachers can use flashcards, spaced repetition software, thematic word lists, and word games to help students retain new vocabulary. Encouraging students to use new words in sentences, discussions, and writing assignments reinforces learning. Research by Laufer and Nation (1995) indicates that a threshold level of vocabulary is necessary for reading comprehension, with a strong correlation between vocabulary size and reading ability.

 Use of Technology and Apps Overview: 

Modern technology offers a wide range of tools that can enhance language learning through interactive and personalized experiences.Teachers can incorporate apps like Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone for practice, use online dictionaries and translation tools, or leverage platforms like Google Classroom to manage assignments and provide resources.

Discussion

     In the past, language instruction often centered around grammar-translation methods, where students learned vocabulary and rules in isolation from actual language use.Krashen’s Input Hypothesis suggests that meaningful communication is the key to language acquisition, which has led many educators to focus on immersive and interactive teaching methods. As Krashen notes, “Acquisition happens naturally when the focus is on understanding messages rather than on explicit language instruction.”Stephen Krashen introduces the Input Hypothesis, which emphasizes the importance of comprehensible input in language acquisition. According to Warschauer, “Technology provides learners with unprecedented access to authentic language resources and opportunities for interaction with native speakers, which are crucial for developing language proficiency.”

                                                       Conclusion

     Teaching foreign languages is not merely an academic endeavor but a vital component of fostering global citizenship and cultural understanding. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the ability to communicate across linguistic boundaries is essential for personal and professional growth. Effective language education combines innovative teaching methods, cultural immersion, and the integration of technology, ensuring that learners are not only proficient in a language but also equipped to navigate diverse cultural landscapes.

the word ceiling does not mean that you have a sky

the word sky does not mean that nothing will fall on your head

scared to live with worms underground

it’s even scarier to live with worms above the ground

scared to be a worm

(the worm can be cut into pieces and he will not die)

(the worm moves strangely and has no legs)

scared to be

scared to scream

scared to be silent

scared to stream

it’s scary to be a man but to live without limbs like you’re a worm

as a child, I always tore off the arms and legs of toys

I tore off the arms and legs of toy soldiers

god why can’t you see

why does everyone around say that you do not exist

why does everyone around say that I’m not there

why am I lying somewhere in the cemetery and it’s dark around

Ashtrays of the Lord God after a night thunderstorm

Her mother looks out the window with promised melancholy

firefighters die in a spring thunderstorm

fluffs of moisture swirl insatiably 

in the sultry air

***

in a spring fire 

trees were burned paper packaging thoughts plastic hands skin tears fears

and then the fire was extinguished with urine

the sky above the color of the bones of an angel

I have never seen birds

my old grandfather doesn’t recognize me

I rub my eyes 

and it’s dark around

physical diseases transmitted genetically are the most terrible

when my cat died i laughed

mouse corpses floated in the air

a sad mother came up and asked why I had fun and I bit her hand

then mom got offended and left the hospital

then the orderly came and again injected me with a sedative

the cleaning lady went to the bed and removed the toy (cat) torn to pieces

the remaining month in the mental hospital was not marked by anything special

a small bird warms a piece of glass with its breath

a shadow from a tree hides behind a feathered back

college life caught in death collage

the bird freezes and the graveyard rain falls from heaven

the graves are crying and trying to say something

the tree is looking for a flower on its branches and does not find

another day has come to an end

The gallows of your embrace

Thousands of suns soak up the world around

Thousands of suns explode destroying the suicide world

The city of unwashed ropes and cracks in the chest climbs out

A man near a signboard and it is not clear where to go forward or into the future

Can’t die without you

Can’t breathe without you

I want to see your naked body

I want to see the bare naked soul

Paratroopers fly overhead like seagulls

But you’ll never see it again

A spring flame of hope burns in my chest

I’m still naive and capricious like a child

You are so beautiful and capable of giving everything in the world

You’re fucking somewhere far away with others and I’m happy for you

Distance is a house of cards for the two of us

And I never knew anything about cards

You’re in the house

I’m in a dungeon

The rain divides the city in half

The first half is for my love

The second half is destined for my love’s graveyard

I paddled inside you,

my mallard on your pond.

And then ¡away! I flew.

You waved and waved, alone.

UNSEASONED

Don’t come to me in Yellow,

when thermometers are full

of fever, of sweat, of woe

and nights are by daylight culled.

And please avoid me in Brown.

Environments start to die

and virgin forests ungown

and bare scarcity outcries.

Avoid my presence in White:

Lives lie sleeping in the ground

away from the strangled light,

away from festival sounds.

But in Green I’ll wait for you

and in Green we’ll reunite.

Green will welcome a rendezvous

between my cloud and your kite.

JASMINE AND COAL

I fell out of the orgasm

that left me bitter and old.

The air was filled with jasmine

but my tongue tasted of coal.

I lived like a revolution.

In the midst of brick and steel

I thought I could find ablution

if I never bowed or kneeled.

I believed only a hedon

was immune to slavery,

misunderstood as freedom

the struggle for ecstasy.

COCOON

I saw my externist today

and got my prescriptions filled

for a well-curated array

of armor auras and pills

to protect me against weathers

and germs. And also to blunt,

like a cuirass wrought of leather,

the intimacy of hugs

and the taste and touch of kisses.

In this invisible plate

I can discover what bliss is,

now that I’m inviolate.

Winter Day

Now winter is very hard

Animal need guard.

Sun can’t be seen

Everywhere is covered with fog

The fog is falling like rain

It wet the entire nature.

Poor people struggle very hard in winter

They haven’t clothes to cover.

Animals can’t go out for food.

So it is very sad, not good!

When the sun goes out,

The mist’s drops of leaves

Shine bright.

This time the nature be happy

From animals to trees.

 WAIT- THE ARCANE HOPE

I’ll be waiting for you,

A thousand lives,

I’ll be waiting for you,

Till I finish counting all the stars.

I’ll be waiting,

Till I cross the blue and reach your horizon. 

I’ve felt the tides splashing in hy heart,

When I saw the ocean in your eyes.

Your absence made me love you as much as I love the moon.

My heart sank deep down in the ocean  of your eyes,

And no, I don’t want to float.

The tides have washed away all the blood and,

 Your name is scribbled in my heart, by the merciless movement of the hard rocks.

Human value.
They say that money solves everything in the world. They say that human welfare does not allow this. You cannot do anything without money. No matter how much knowledge you have, you cannot live without money.
Even those who acquire this knowledge sell it for money, and the owner of clear knowledge is left behind.

A child of an ordinary person has the most knowledge, but a child of a rich man knows nothing.

Why are you always a rich man’s son?
Why do you say that if a man with money is his father.
Did you see, my friends, this story of mine will still be answered in the Day of Judgement.

The Winter Kids

No midday warmth shields us from the chill of our shadows,

No dreams to drag us to sleep

Our house, rooted in the heart of the storm—

We were the first to leave it,

The last to enter, to sit in the folds of its corners

Like used pencils,

Staring at a heater,

Its oil dwindling,

Leaning shyly, against the chest of the wall.

We have nothing from our father but all of him

From our mother,

the warmth her Abaya that we moved to and from

The glow of our souls

Our burps from fullness,

The acceleration of our pulse at the crossroads of stories,

And her whispering,

“Sleep! We fell asleep.
