Teaching English to students majoring in international relations (IR) encompasses specialized methodologies designed to provide students with the language skills necessary to communicate effectively in a globalized and diplomatically complex field. As English has become the dominant lingua franca in international discourse, the demand for proficient speakers of IR has increased dramatically, prompting teachers to adapt their teaching strategies to these specific professional requirements. The significance of this topic lies in its relevance to the growing interconnectedness of global affairs, where fluency in English is essential for negotiating, analyzing, and collaborating with international stakeholders. Ukraine nowadays is in great need of highly professional specialists in all spheres of life including international relations. Highly skilled specialists in international relations with high levels of English language proficiency establish Ukraine as a developed democratic country of the World's Community. It is no secret that the English language has always been taught in Ukraine. This article makes some observations concerning merits as well as defects of methods of teaching English in the past and discusses approaches, syllabuses, models, and techniques proposed for the teaching of foreign languages that are effectively used now. It makes an overview of Comprehension Approach, Natural Approach, Functional-Notional Syllabus and Proficiency-Oriented Approach. It describes and evaluates the Direct Method, the Functional-Notional Approach, the Structural Approach, the Audio-Lingual Method, the Situational Method, the Intensive Language Model, the Functional-Notional Approach and the Comprehension Approach. Finally, it advocates for Communicative language teaching (CLT) approach as one of the best methods to foster communicative competence that helps to achieve the best results with International Relations students. This methodology not only prepares students for real-world interactions, develops critical thinking and fosters adaptability, but also polishes their English language proficiency, thereby improving their academic performance and professional readiness in a competitive global arena.
