The teaching of English in medical universities presents unique challenges that traditional pedagogical approaches often fail to adequately address. As the global language of medicine and scientific research, English proficiency is essential for medical students who must read international literature, communicate with foreign colleagues, and participate in global healthcare settings. This article examines a range of modern teaching methods that have demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing English language acquisition among medical students. Drawing on current research in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and educational technology, and on classroom experience at the Termez Branch of Tashkent State Medical University, the article explores communicative language teaching, technology-enhanced learning, task-based instruction, flipped classroom models, and simulation-based approaches. The discussion suggests that integrating these modern methods not only improves students’ language competence but also increases their motivation and engagement. Practical recommendations are provided for English teachers working in medical education contexts.Библиографические ссылки
