Сomprehensive use of modern methods of teaching foreign languages on a story basis (by the example of studying the topic "Christmastime")

the integration of digital media resources into foreign language teaching leads to teachers’ constant use of scientific knowledge in marketing, journalism, and advertising. This knowledge creates the foundation for a qualitatively new level of visualization of the educational process, significantly increasing students' motivation to learn a foreign language, as the realities of the digital age dictate the need to increase the pace of information comprehension through interactivity. This article proposes a solution to this problem through the use of a comprehensive story-based foreign language teaching technology. It also describes modern story-based foreign language teaching methods such as role-playing games, the use of plot pictures, and storytelling. Particular attention is given to the analysis of the experience of using the author's methodological manual aimed at implementing this technology in English language teaching in the 8th grade of a secondary school, using the lexical topic "Christmastime" as an example. The methodological manual is an animated presentation divided into modules that provide a step-by-step solution to a problem. The results of the conducted experimental training can be used in the practice of teaching foreign languages in secondary education institutions.
