The impact of student-centered foreign language learning on academic performance

Аннотация

This research work is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of student-centered approach- es in the context of teaching foreign languages and their direct impact on the academic performance of stu- dents in higher educational institutions. Under the conditions of modern globalization and digitalization of education, proficiency in multilingual communication skills becomes not only an academic goal but also a critical factor of professional competitiveness. Traditional learning models oriented toward the transmission of knowledge from the teacher to a passive listener are contrasted in this article with innovative strategies in which the learner occupies a central, active position. The methodological foundation of the study consisted of a systematic review of scientific literature, a comparative analysis of educational models, and the interpreta- tion of empirical data on motivation and academic performance. The research results convincingly demon- strate that student-centered learning not only accelerates the process of forming language competencies but also contributes to the development of critical thinking, autonomous learning skills, and social interaction.
The paper substantiates that the integration of interactive, project-based, and problem-oriented methods is a key instrument for improving the quality of language training. A conclusion is made about the high practical significance of these approaches for the modernization of educational standards.
