This article explores the role of digital tools and interactive teaching methods in enhancing students’ English language proficiency. With the rapid advancement of educational technology, digital platforms, applications, and multimedia resources have become integral components of modern language learning. The study examines how tools such as language learning apps, online dictionaries, interactive exercises, virtual classrooms, and gamified learning platforms can improve students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. In addition, interactive methods such as collaborative projects, peer feedback, discussion forums, and problem-based learning are analyzed for their effectiveness in fostering communication skills and student engagement. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating technology with pedagogical strategies to create learner-centered environments that enhance motivation, autonomy, and language retention. Practical case studies and research findings highlight the positive impact of digital and interactive approaches on students’ English proficiency, suggesting that these methods significantly improve learning outcomes compared to traditional classroom instruction.
