Abstract: This article examines the current challenges and solutions related to teaching foreign languages, particularly English, through innovative methods and integrating them with the tourism sector. In the current education system, language teaching is often based on theoretical grammar rules, with insufficient use of practice-oriented methods. This limits students' ability to use the language in real-life situations and leads to decreased motivation. Integration with the tourism sector enhances language learning effectiveness, as students acquire specialized vocabulary and expressions used in their professional field. Through the use of the CLIL methodology and interactive technologies, lessons become more engaging and effective, improving language competence. The article presents recommendations to encourage teachers to implement new methods, increase practical activities, and connect language learning with tourism-related activities.
