Nowadays, learning foreign languages is gaining popularity among young students, as it is offering wide range of opportunities to them. This article analyses the significance of implementing interactive methods in teaching foreign languages, as an example English, among young learners. The research was conducted with 15 students aged 13-15 at A1 and A2 levels. Two types of lessons were conducted: interactive and non-interactive lessons on comparable language topics. After both lessons, students completed a questionnaire to measure their enjoyment, understanding, participation, confidence, vocabulary and grammar learning, and lesson preference. The results of the study show that interactive lessons were responsible for significantly higher levels of student engagement, confidence, and satisfaction. The findings reveal that interactive methods can improve both classroom participation and learning effectiveness in foreign language teaching.
