Abstract. This study examines contemporary requirements for improving English listening and speaking skills in language education. It emphasizes communicative language teaching, authentic materials, digital learning environments, learner autonomy, and formative assessment. A qualitative review of recent literature indicates that technology-supported instruction and interactive classroom practices significantly improve oral proficiency, listening comprehension, and communicative confidence. The findings demonstrate that integrating innovative teaching methods with learner-centered approaches contributes to sustainable language development and better academic performance.
