Language teaching in the 21st century has undergone a profound transformation, reflecting the influence of technology, globalization, and evolving pedagogical insights. In an increasingly interconnected world, the focus has shifted from traditional grammar-based approaches to more communicative, learner-centered methodologies. Key trends such as the integration of technology, the emphasis on communicative language teaching, learner autonomy, task-based and content-based learning, and the growing importance of cultural awareness are shaping modern language education. This article explores these major trends, examining how they influence the practice and theory of language teaching in contemporary contexts. It also discusses the implications for educators and learners in a globalized, digital world.References
