This essay will discuss the relative efficacy of the conventional language teaching (in-person teaching, textbook teaching, grammar-translation, etc.) and digital and blended learning techniques in the modern digital age. Based on the analysis of empirical research, the mixed-method research, and current findings of Uzbekistan and other settings, the given study explores the outcomes of the learners, engagement, motivational factors, and real constraints. The results show that, although traditional techniques are still useful, especially in grammar, writing, and placing a text within a wider cultural context, they are less adaptable and not as interesting. The most efficient solution is a mixed method of using both traditional and digital methods. There are implications to the Uzbekistan foreign language teachers.
