This study investigates the impact of interactive teaching methods in chemistry lessons on the development of students’ communicative skills. The research focuses on the integration of cooperative learning, inquiry-based activities, guided discussions, and peer feedback into chemistry instruction. The findings show that interactive learning environments significantly improve students’ ability to use scientific terminology, explain chemical concepts clearly, engage in evidence-based argumentation, and collaborate effectively with peers. The study demonstrates that interactive methods contribute not only to improved communication skills but also to deeper conceptual understanding and increased learning motivation. In modern education, the formation of communicative competence is considered a key learning outcome alongside subject knowledge. In chemistry education, however, traditional teacher-centered approaches often restrict students’ opportunities for discussion, explanation, and collaborative reasoning. Interactive teaching methods create conditions for active participation, meaningful dialogue, and cooperative problem solving, which are essential for developing students’ scientific communication skills. Therefore, investigating the role of interactive methods in enhancing communicative competence in chemistry lessons is highly relevant to contemporary educational practice [1].
