Abstract


The field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is expanding rapidly, with millions of students globally seeking to improve their English language proficiency. To meet the demand for effective EFL instructors, it is essential to possess a diverse range of skills, including knowledge of best practices in language teaching and an understanding of individual learner needs. This paper explores effective teaching approaches for EFL instructors at the university level in France, focusing on key practices and future directions in the field. The paper discusses the significance of effective EFL instruction, outlines the challenges instructors may encounter, and examines approaches such as communicative, task-based, intercultural approach and content-based language teaching. Additionally, the role of technology in EFL instruction is explored as a means of enhancing learning outcomes. Finally, the paper aims to highlight the importance of effective EFL teaching and to propose a roadmap for EFL teachers who wish to improve their teaching practice.
