The article highlights the contemporary methodology foundations for developing linguistic competence among school students. Linguistic competence is considered an integral component of language education, encompassing phonetic, lexical, grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic knowledge and skills essential for effective communication. Special attention is paid to analyzing innovative methodological approaches such as communicative, differentiated, integrative, and competency-based education. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the significance of individualized and learner-centered methodologies that cater to diverse linguistic backgrounds, cognitive styles, and proficiency levels.
