The relevance of the topic under discussion is to examine the theory and practice of grammar learning optimization, which is essential for mastering spoken English. The purpose of this article is to analyze the essence of integrating the use of communicative-cognitive and gamified approaches for the effective learning of grammar in conversational practice (based on the English language). The article examines in detail the role of grammar in learning spoken English and various theoretical approaches to teaching grammar, such as communicative-cognitive and gamified approaches. The study revealed a number of effective methodological techniques for teaching grammar in conversational practice. These include: interactive exercises; role-playing games, simulations and group discussions that allow participants to apply grammatical structures in their own communicative settings; authentic materials; the use of texts, audio and video recordings of real speech, which demonstrate grammar patterns in context; reflective practice, which involves engaging students in analyzing their natural speech errors and encouraging them to use grammatical structures in a way that is most natural to them; technological tools, that is, the use of interactive applications, speech training software and online platforms that provide an engaging and personalized learning environment. This article makes an additional contribution to the theoretical understanding of grammar teaching in conversational practice. It provides language teachers with practical methods that can enhance grammar teaching and ensure student language acquisition. The study highlights the importance of combining different teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of students and create a supportive and motivating learning environment. The results of the study can be used by English teachers, methodologists and curriculum developers to create effective language courses focused on communicative goals.
