British methods of teaching foreign languages have a number of distinctive features. Most of them are developed based on the integration of traditional and modern teaching methods. Undoubtedly, all British methods are aimed at developing four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. At the same time, great emphasis is placed on the use of audio, video and interactive resources. Some (but not all) techniques are distinguished by a good systematization of the authentic material. Methods described in the article are purely British methods and they are the best option for those who want to learn "real English" or are pursuing a narrowly specific goal of linguistic training.
