INTEGRATING DIGITAL TOOLS INTO FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

The relevance of the study stems from the need to improve methods and approaches for integrating digital tools into foreign language teaching in the context of the digital transformation of education. The objective of the research is to analyze the impact of modern digital tools on the teaching and learning of foreign languages at universities. The study systematizes the main categories of digital tools used in foreign language teaching. The specific features of using artificial intelligence-based tools are characterized. The authors identify the impact of digital tools on the development of students’ language competencies. The work demonstrates effectiveness of a blended approach combining digital technologies with traditional teaching methods. The authors conclude that effective digital transformation of language education requires a systematic approach, including institutional support, technical support, teacher training and methodological support. Only under such conditions will digital tools be able to fully realize their potential and become an integral part of a high-quality, modern and pedagogically sound foreign language teaching process.
