Abstract

This paper examines the advantages of employing interactive teaching methods in mother tongue (native language) lessons. As education systems shift toward student-centered learning, interactive strategies such as group discussions, role-playing, games, peer teaching, and multimedia tools have proven effective in enhancing learners' linguistic competence and communicative abilities. These methods not only increase student engagement but also foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Through analysis of practical classroom applications and pedagogical research, this study highlights how interactive approaches can improve the quality of native language instruction and contribute to more meaningful, dynamic learning experiences.
