Abstract
The forced transition to distance learning contributed to the rapid development of online learning and the active implementation of educational platforms in the educational process. The previously free choice of online education or mixed formats in a pandemic is being replaced by forced online education. This article examines the process of implementing online foreign language teaching for students of non-linguistic specialties through the Skyes University learning platform. The Institute of Modern Languages and International Studies of the North-Eastern Federal University began teaching 1st year students of non-linguistic specialties English through the Skyes digital learning platform (DLP). Skyes University's digital learning environment contains a large number of regularly updated training courses. The purpose of this training is to develop the communicative competence of students of nonlinguistic specialties. The article provides an overview of the scientific works of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of e-learning. The concepts of "online learning" and "distance learning" have been clarified. The analysis of the digital educational environment of Skyes University was carried out and the possibilities of implementing online English language teaching for students of non-linguistic specialties in a higher educational institution were considered. Conclusions are made based on the analysis of the digital educational environment of Skyes University as part of the implementation of online education at North-Eastern Federal University.
