Over the past three decades, English has become the most popular foreign language taught in Georgia. This shift has been driven by various factors, including globalization, political changes in the country, the evolution of teaching methodologies from traditional grammar-translation methods to more dynamic communicative language learning, the emergence of international schools, etc. Additionally, the involvement of native English speakers in teaching, the establishment of teacher certification programs, and advancements in technology have contributed to the growing interest in English language education in Georgia. However, there are relatively few literature reviews on research trends and studies conducted in English language teaching. This literature review analyzes empirical studies published in English in peer-reviewed journals from 2016 to 2023. The review examines the objectives of these studies, the participants involved, the research methods used, the findings reported, and the identified gaps. A comprehensive search was conducted in academic databases, with inclusion criteria requiring the studies to be in English, peer-reviewed, and focused on English language teaching in Georgia published between 2016 and 2023. Thirteen papers met these criteria and were included in the review. The analysis provides insights into the current state of English language education in Georgia, highlights the progress made, and identifies areas needing further research and development.
