Linguodidactics, as a branch of applied linguistics, plays a crucial role in shaping effective language instruction. In today’s rapidly changing educational landscape, linguodidactics is confronted with numerous challenges that affect the efficacy of language learning and teaching. This article explores the fundamental problems in linguodidactics, including the gap between theory and classroom practice, insufficient consideration of learner diversity, limited teacher preparedness, underutilization of educational technologies, and outdated assessment models. By analyzing these issues, the article proposes strategies for reform that align pedagogical practices with contemporary linguistic and educational research.
