Keywords: Innovative approaches and methods, critical thinking and case-method. 
Today, learning foreign languages has become a habit. But learning also has its own methods 
and techniques. If we take the example of English, which is evolving day by day, the time spent 
learning it depends on theoretical and practical knowledge, because how and when you learn it is 
important. What you need mostly right now is the method you are using, and using this method will 
allow you to not only learn thoroughly, but also quickly learn the knowledge and skills you have 
acquired. Most of us know that we have more theoretical knowledge and forget this when it comes to 
practical knowledge. In the past, teachers explained the materials in the book to the students and gave 
them exercises, but now we live in an advanced age where all kinds of teaching and learning methods 
are used, and as a result, an innovative approach is widely used.
Nowadays, almost everyone has small devices and computers that they can use whenever they 
want. This innovative approach has opened wonderful and important doors for teaching students. This 
laid the groundwork for us to acquire and consolidate the knowledge we needed at any time. We can 
not only be limited by theoretical knowledge, but also apply it in practice. But everything has its pros 
and cons, and that leads to some problems. To enumerate them, first of all, the majority of teachers 
in higher education institutions provide theoretical education based on an innovative approach, but 
we should not be limited to this, as theoretical knowledge will not be useful until it is tested in 
practice. Second, it has been observed that some university graduates do not have practical knowledge 
skills, which can lead to problems in their future careers. In addition, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev 
Miromonovich signed many resolutions on improving the system of teaching foreign languages, and 
it should be noted that great importance is attached to the training of effective and quality personnel 
in foreign languages. Ensuring the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan dated April 20, 2017 No PP-2909 "On measures to further develop the system of higher

education", as well as remuneration of employees of higher education and research institutions in 
order to improve the payment system, it is planned to equip higher education institutions with modern 
information and communication technologies, expand access to world educational resources, 
electronic catalogs and databases of modern scientific literature for students, teachers and young 
researchers of higher education institutions. And this is another important practical step in the 
development of the system of continuing education, the assurance of the country's growing economy 
with highly qualified personnel, expanding the participation of the higher education system in 
addressing issues of strategic integrated development of all regions and sectors.
Providing students with high-quality knowledge and improving their thinking skills is no 
exception. Seminars at universities are organized specifically for independent thinking, exchanging 
ideas and tend to the case-study methods. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an innovative 
approach to solving existing problems in the minds of students. The problem of introducing the case 
method into the practice of higher professional education is currently very relevant, which is due to 
the general orientation of the development of education, not so much toward obtaining specific 
knowledge, but rather as the formation of professional competence, skills and thinking skills, 
development of personality abilities. On the one hand, the seminar can provide not only theoretical 
but also practical knowledge. On the other hand, many pupils and students are able to critical thinking, 
but are unable to express their opinions, they afraid to express their views and make mistakes. But it 
depends on how the teacher conducts the lesson: the person who teaches the students how to behave, 
how to pay attention to them, and how to approach them correctly is the teacher. I have to say that 
the technologies in our hands that have become part of us today are causing some problems. For 
example, some younger generations are now addicted to the smartphones, their passion for reading 
has waned, and as a result, their behaviors and attitudes have changed. In foreign language teaching, 
lessons are now conducted in video form in all educational institutions and we can see that this will 
lead to a decrease in demand for books by students. The importance of the book in an innovative 
approach, whether theoretical knowledge or practical, is important. Some teachers are unable to use 
the right methods, and as a result, students’ attitudes toward the lesson will change radically and the 
quality of the lesson will decline. But taking a lesson based on an innovative approach and interpreting 
it correctly can appeal to every student. Education today is closely linked to technology. The use of 
innovation in education leads to time savings, the use of the necessary materials and an increase in 
the quality of the lesson. The bottom line is that innovative approaches and methods are contributing 
to our current education with positive outcomes.
