Modern education is experiencing a significant shift in teaching approaches, student motivation, and the organization of the learning process. These changes are driven by both technological advancements and the transformation of cognitive and behavioral characteristics of new generations of learners. This paper examines key research and theoretical concepts related to language teaching through other disciplines, the role of museums and art in education, characteristics of Generation Z, as well as new pedagogical spaces and assessment methods. The focus of the study is on the experience of mediation in a museum in a foreign language with groups of students learning French at different levels. This method aligns with the concept of contextual learning, which is increasingly in demand in the modern world. A survey conducted among the participants of the experiment (within the framework of Sofia Bakaeva's project “French in the Museum”) showed that such a methodology not only positively affects the dynamics of learning French but also increases student motivation, significantly expanding their cultural horizons.
