One of the crucial problems in the history of humanity has always been the question of human relations because the rest largely depended on finding ways to solve the problem. One of the main factors in this cycle is a language which has always attracted attention as a tool of communication and the issues of its mastery, a plethora of methods have been vying for the dominant place. Although English as a lingua franca is actively taught around the world, the development of productive skills remains a problem in non-English- speaking countries where learners have fewer opportunities to communicate in the target language outside the classroom. The article seeks to relate the problem to the complete disregard of its psycholinguistic foundation by teachers of English, which leads to a superficial assessment of monolingual teaching methods and the formation of preferences to give the learners as many opportunities to operate in the target language as possible. The article is about the post-Soviet space Georgia where the monolingual approach to teaching foreign languages is still unambiguously dominant, and shows how to build a new framework for using translanguaging as an EFL teaching method.
