Abstract

The article examines the integration of digital technologies into the process of teaching English as a foreign language. The author analyzes the most effective modern digital tools and methodological approaches to their implementation in language education. The research provides a comprehensive overview of current trends in educational technology and presents a classification of digital tools based on developed language competencies. The theoretical framework is based on the TPACK concept and constructive alignment principles, which ensure the pedagogical appropriateness of technology implementation. The study identifies the key benefits of technology integration, including increased student engagement, personalized learning opportunities, and enhanced development of language skills. The article presents the results of experimental research involving 120 students, which demonstrate significant improvements in language competencies when using digital technologies. The experimental group showed particularly notable progress in listening (27% improvement), speaking (23% improvement), and vocabulary development (21% improvement) compared to the control group. The author analyzes future trends in educational technology, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and learning analytics. The research concludes that a balanced approach combining traditional teaching methods with innovative technological solutions provides the most effective framework for contemporary English language education.
