Digital tools in education as an integral part of teaching a foreign language in higher school in the context of large-scale digitalization of society

Abstract

One of the pillars of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is quality education. It aims to provide inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Digital technologies have become an important tool to achieve this goal. Technological advances in education have made life easier for students. Instead of using pen and paper, students now use a variety of software and tools to create presentations and projects. Unlike a heavy book, browsing an e-book is easier. These methods contribute to increasing interest in research. The article briefly talks about the need to use digital technologies in education. Higher education institutions are undergoing major changes. They are caused by many factors, the main of which is the large-scale digitalization of society. Digital technologies demonstrate a number of tools chosen for teaching a foreign language in higher education. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the distinctive features of the digital transformation process that has taken place in higher education institutions. In addition, the article considers digital learning as part of the ecosystem of modern higher education.
