On the use of modern digital technologies in teaching a foreign language at a university

Abstract

This paper examines the problem of using modern digital technologies in the process of teaching a foreign language in the academic learning environment. The study aims to identify the educational potential of digital tools such as training video, digital class, electronic simulators and digital applications in the foreign language learning environment at a non-linguistic university and develop methodological recommendations for using them in the learning process. The paper substantiates the relevance of using digital technologies in the education system, provides a review of digital tools for the foreign language classroom, tested in the learning process, as well as the description of their didactic and methodological potential for the increased efficiency of teaching a foreign language. The findings of the study contain methodological recommendations for integrating digital technologies into the foreign language learning environment for organizing classroom work and students’ selfstudy at a university.
