Abstract

Background. The Direct Method has become an attractive approach in language learning, emphasising the use of the target language in communicative situations. However, the impact of the Direct Method on students' language comprehension, particularly in listening skills, still needs to be studied in depth. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the Direct Method on students' language comprehension, focusing on listening skills in the context of English language learning. Method. A quantitative approach was used to analyse data from the listening comprehension scores of students who took the Direct Method. The research sample consisted of 100 students who took the Direct Method course. Results. The results showed that the Direct Method had a positive and significant influence on students' listening comprehension ability. Of the 100 students who took the course with the Direct Method, 85% showed a significant improvement in listening comprehension scores. Conclusion. In the context of English language learning, the Direct Method has great potential in improving students' listening comprehension. This approach provides an interesting and meaningful learning experience for students, allowing them to be actively involved in the learning process and improving their ability to understand and use the target language.

Abstract

Background. The development of digital technology has changed the paradigm of foreign language education, but existing e-learning platforms are still not fully able to accommodate the diversity of individual needs of students. Purpose. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of adaptive e-learning platforms that are able to dynamically adjust learning content based on students' characteristics, learning styles, and English language skills. Method. The results showed a significant increase in English language competence in the experimental group with an average score increase of 23.2 points. Statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation between content personalization and learning motivation (p<0.01). Adaptive platforms have been proven to be effective in lowering language anxiety and increasing students' confidence. Results. The conclusion of the study confirms the transformative potential of adaptive technology in foreign language education. A platform that integrates artificial intelligence, psychological approaches, and innovative pedagogical is able to create a personalized and meaningful learning experience. Conclusion. The study concludes that mobile-compatible e-learning platforms can effectively support ELLs, providing an engaging and accessible learning environment that enhances language proficiency. Further research is recommended to explore long-term retention rates and the impact of additional personalized features.
