NEW COMMUNICATIVE METHODS IN MILITARY ENGLISH TEACHING
Abstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of global military operations, the proficiency in English, as the lingua franca, is paramount for effective communication, strategic alliances, and execution of international missions. This has necessitated a paradigm shift in military English teaching methodologies towards more dynamic and interactive communicative methods. The traditional didactic approaches, focused on grammar and vocabulary, are increasingly being supplemented and replaced by innovative strategies that promote practical language use in real-life military contexts. These new communicative methods leverage task-based learning, simulations, technology-enhanced platforms, and cultural immersion to develop not just linguistic competence but also intercultural communication skills crucial for modern military engagements. This article explores the transition towards these communicative methods, emphasizing their importance
in fostering operational effectiveness and international military cooperation.
