IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING PROFICIENCY VIA INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS

Abstract

This article explores the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods in improving students’ reading proficiency. It examines how modern educational technologies, such as digital platforms, interactive games, clustering techniques, blended learning, and flipped classrooms, influence students’ reading comprehension and motivation. The research findings indicate that the use of innovative teaching approaches significantly enhances students’ reading motivation, fosters independent thinking, and improves their ability to extract and interpret meaning from texts. The paper concludes that integrating innovative methods into reading instruction can transform passive learning into an active, engaging and meaningful process.
