Abstract
This article analyzes technologies for developing 4K competencies in modern English language education and their pedagogical potential. The 4K model includes communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, and developing these competencies in English lessons contributes to students’ practical language skills. The study examines the use of interactive methods, group activities, role plays, discussions, project-based learning, and digital educational tools. These technologies help students develop their ability to communicate in English, think independently, approach tasks creatively, and work effectively in teams. The systematic integration of 4K competencies into English language lessons strengthens the practical and communicative orientation of language education.
