The article is focused on the study of ways of using transmedia technologies in foreign language classes. The issues of engaging students in the learning process in a distance format, maintaining their interest and motivation to learn require answers and the search for new opportunities. This is what stipulates the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of using transmedia technologies for teaching a professional foreign language in a higher education institution. The object of the study is the phenomenon of transmediation and relevant technologies in education, and the subject is the methods and techniques of using transmedia technologies in English language classes. A thorough analysis of the use of modern media technologies by educators from different countries shows that there are few developed methods of teaching foreign languages based on transmedia technologies. The article studies the advantages of using transmedia in the educational process and their impact on learning outcomes. Examples of transmedia tasks and projects that can be used in foreign language classes prove that the effectiveness of transmedia is due to the various opportunities for improving students’ reading, speaking, listening and writing skills, as well as developing their communicative competences through transmedia. The authors, however, emphasise certain challenges, mainly related to the lack of transmedia literacy of teachers. Improving digital skills beyond basic knowledge is a prerequisite for the effective implementation of transmedia technologies.
