Despite the chaos\, education remains a fundamental human right\, essential for imparting survival skills\, conflict resolution abilities\, and resilience [1\, p. 12]. Hence\, English teachers must recognize that Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is not just a trendy educational concept but a crucial tool for teaching efficiently [3\, p. 8]. The well-being of teachers\, their state of overall health and happiness\, covers physical\, mental\, emotional\, and social aspects of life that are affected by the war. According to the results of the research on teaching through wartime in Ukraine\, half of the teachers were burned out\, emotionally devastated\, and pushed themselves to continue teaching [4\, p. 22].\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNataliia PYLIACHYK\n\nVasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University\, Ivano-Frankivsk\n\n \n\nENHANCING STUDENTS’ LEXICAL COMPETENCE \n\nTHROUGH FLIPPED CLASSROOM LEARNING\n\n \n\nThere have been relatively few studies specifically examining the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in foreign language instruction. …\n\nFor example\, A.
