Abstract
The presented research demonstrates the use of innovative teaching methods by incorporating cross-curricular integration of natural sciences and English and using digital competencies in the classroom. Students actively developed digital skills through interactive activities while learning about forests in the English language. They expanded their vocabulary on tree species and forests and practiced comprehension based on authentic English-language recordings. Particular emphasis was placed on recognizing tree species based on leaves, fruits, and general characteristics and acquiring the relevant vocabulary in English. Based on the English language video, students learned to distinguish between fir, spruce, and pine. They developed digital skills in various areas and at distinct levels by photographing trees for the film's background, drafting a script, and recording a film, which served as the final product of their learning. This approach connected theoretical knowledge with practical skills, fostering creativity and collaboration. These innovative approaches demonstrate the positive effects of cross-curricular teaching of natural sciences and English and the use of digital competencies in the classroom, allowing students to comprehensively understand the subject matter and contribute to their holistic development in multiple areas. Innovative approaches encourage active participation and the development of language skills and strengthen cooperation.
