The eclectic method allows teachers and students to easily adapt to learning needs so that learning goals or objectives can be achieved. The purpose of this article was to prove the positive impact of using the eclectic method on students' foreign language learning by comparing it to the traditional approach to teaching. This study proposed to integrate the eclectic approach into the educational program of first-year students of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication Institute at Sechenov University. The experimental method and interview method were used to collect the data. Seventy participants were divided into experimental and control groups according to English test results. After one semester of the experiment, the results showed that the academic performance of experimental group students improved by an average of 7.3 points. In the control group, students' academic performance decreased by 4.2 points. The effect of the eclectic method was investigated by analyzing the results of English proficiency test of students in both groups. The study results can be useful for English teachers, as they can improve their teaching methods using the eclectic approach. Further research could focus on a detailed analysis of the eclectic approach and its possible variations and components. Due to the small sample of participants, the study could not determine whether external factors such as students' age, gender, nationality, etc. influenced the results.
