Özet

 

Abstract: Educational philosophies and changes in the society have affected English language teaching throughout the history. English Language Teaching (ELT) methods and developments have changed over time starting with traditional approaches, such as Grammar-Translation and Audio-Lingual methods, leading to communicative methods in the 20th century. The emergence of technology, particularly computer-assisted language learning, has played a pivotal role. Contemporary trends, like task-based learning and blended learning, showcase a dynamic landscape in ELT. Current tendencies in English Language Teaching (ELT) include a growing emphasis on learner-centered approaches, incorporating technology for interactive and personalized learning experiences. Task-based and project-based methodologies remain popular, fostering practical language use. The integration of online platforms and virtual classrooms continues to expand, allowing for global collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, there's a focus on incorporating real-world contexts and authentic materials to enhance language acquisition. Overall, contemporary perspectives in ELT prioritize adaptability, technology integration, and learner engagement.
