This article examines the evolution of foreign language teaching methodologies, focusing on behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism and their influence on instructional approaches. It highlights the shift from traditional grammar-based methods to interactive, technology-enhanced learning. Emphasizing the role of meaningful communication, learner autonomy, and cultural awareness, the study underscores the need for adaptive, research-informed strategies to meet the demands of globalization and diverse learner needs.
