In the context of globalization and the growth of international relations, foreign language proficiency is becoming increasingly important in technical specialties such as logistics and aviation. This article explores modern methods of teaching foreign languages in technical universities aimed at preparing specialists in these fields. Special attention is given to methods such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Task-Based Learning (TBL), simulations and role-playing, the use of authentic materials, and the integration of technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and specialized language apps. These methods not only help students master foreign languages but also develop the professional skills necessary for working in international environments in the fields of logistics and aviation.
