Abstract:
Learning a language is like pouring water into a bottomless well; the deeper you go,
the more you can learn. Numerous successful language-learning strategies have been investigated and
examined by researchers throughout the years. The most useful approaches are discussed in this article
along with their benefits, drawbacks, and interrelations. We came across a great deal of books, papers,
websites, and scholarly viewpoints while conducting our investigation. We discovered that success is
unavoidable when someone decides to learn and works hard for it. We hope that this article will be
helpful to both you and us.

Introduction
.
In today’s global environment, the most powerful key to building a successful
career, traveling to developed countries, or studying at prestigious universities is learning foreign
languages. Moreover, knowing a foreign language greatly enhances a person’s intellectual capacity
and contributes to personaldevelopment.
“Knowing foreign languages not only enhances job prospects but also boosts individuals’
cognitive and intercultural competencies.” (OECD, 2019)
Some people believe that not everyone is capable of learning a language. To some extent, this is
true — people have different abilities and interests. However, with the right approach and motivation,
anyone can develop a passion for learning a language. The most important thing is to stay consistent.
Before diving into the analysis, it is important to explore the differences, similarities, and core
characteristics of the methods.
Method 1: Audio-Lingual Method
This approach is beneficial for improving listening and pronunciation. Repetition and practice
can help learners achieve positive results. Learners enhance their speaking skills by imitating the
sounds they hear. However, one major drawback is the limited development of writing and vocabulary
skills. Certain flaws in this approach have also been identified by research (International Journal of
Scientific & Technology Research, 2020). Additionally, since it focuses mainly on dialogues and
rules, learners may struggle in real-life conversations. Therefore, it is recommended to combine this
with other communicative methods.
Method 2: Using Online Technologies and Platforms
Learning through online platforms and mobile applications is one of the most innovative
approaches in the modern digital era. This method has gained popularity among learners as it offers
flexibility to study from anywhere. For example, online platforms, especially during the pandemic,
played a key role in sustaining language learning for millions (Trust & Whalen, 2020). Self-control
and time management are crucial for success with this method. Learners are attracted to digital tools,
particularly MOOCs and artificial intelligence. Kukulska-Hulme (2020) found that AI is increasingly
used in mobile-assisted language learning platforms to provide personalized feedback and adaptive
learning.
Method 3: Learning Through Real-Life Environment

Although this method demands greater responsibility, it has unique advantages. It involves
integrating the language being studied with real-life contexts and immersion in a linguistically diverse
setting. Such environments may need to be created or simulated, especially when real travel is not
possible. Due to financial or personal constraints, this method might not be available to everyone.
However, its effectiveness is higher than other methods, and immersion-based learning is both
enjoyable and engaging.
Method 4: Communicative Approach
This method is effective because it emphasizes real-life conversations and helps learners use the
language in meaningful interactions. It encourages active language use and makes the learning process
more enjoyable (Harmer, 1983). However, it may not focus as much on complex grammar as other
methods. Ellis (2003) emphasized the importance of incorporating grammar into communicative
language teaching. Moreover, Li (1998) noted that implementing this method in countries like South
Korea faces cultural and systemic challenges.
Method 5: Grammar-Translation Method
This traditional method, which was dominant in the past, emphasizes grammar rules and
translation. It is effective for building translation skills and understanding language structure. Despite
being largely replaced by modern approaches, some educators still find it useful today, particularly
for advanced grammar learning and academic translation.
Conclusion.
Studying each of these methods is valuable, as they complement one another.
Combining different methods has proven effective in language learning. For instance, merging the
Audio-Lingual Method with online technologies makes learning more engaging. This article is
based on thorough analysis of books, journals, and websites. The conclusion is clear: the more
methods one knows, the easier the learning process becomes. Additionally, learning a second
language opens many doors. Each learner should choose methods that match their individual needs,
considering both the advantages and disadvantages.
