Strengthening English teaching at the higher education level represents one of the most critical challenges in contemporary education. This paper presents a literature review aimed at analyzing how the implementation of active methodological strategies and psycho-pedagogical support directly impacts the improvement of university academic performance. The methodology used consisted of a documentary analysis of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. The results show that the transition from traditional models to student-centered approaches enhances not only linguistic competence but also motivation and autonomy. It is concluded that continuous teacher training and the integration of community outreach projects are fundamental pillars to guarantee meaningful and functional language learning.
