This article explores innovative group work methods in intensive foreign language training, emphasizing their role in enhancing collaboration and communication among learners. The study examines various group-based techniques, such as cooperative learning, peer feedback, task-based projects, and role-playing, and their effectiveness in fostering language skills. Through these methods, students engage more actively with the language, develop critical thinking skills, and improve their ability to work collaboratively in a multicultural environment. The article highlights the importance of creating a supportive, interactive, and communicative classroom atmosphere where learners can practice real-life language use. The benefits of group work extend beyond language acquisition to include social and emotional development, making it an essential component of modern foreign language training programs.
