The article deals with general issues relating to the use of electronic educational resources in the teaching and learning of French as a second foreign language in the ICT environment.

 Goal. The aim is to present the main trends and prospects for the use of electronic teaching resources in the teaching and learning of French as a second foreign language, to classify electronic teaching resources by methodological objective, to propose new ways of using them in the digital environment. Methodology. To achieve the defined purpose, a series of research methods were applied: theoretical analysis and synthesis of pedagogical and methodological sources on issues, IT resources and networks for educational purposes, questionnaires, interviews as part of the process of identifying priority areas of application. The aim of creating electronic educational resources is to modernize the learning process. The use of e-learning resources makes it possible to refresh the content of teaching materials. The outbreak of hostilities led to the transfer of the educational process to a distance learning format using information and communication technologies, which required students to work actively with information resources. The increase in the volume and quality of information is contributing to the renewal of forms, methods and means of teaching and learning French as a second foreign language. Originality. The integration of e-learning resources into the process of teaching French as a foreign language includes classroom and independent work, as well as the assessment of students' knowledge and skills. The range of possibilities they offer can be incorporated into the structure of each lesson to introduce and work on new topics, check vocabulary and grammar, etc. Practical value. The possibilities offered by e-learning resources make it possible to diversify courses and increase student motivation. Their use makes the language learning process more focused on students' real skills, more flexible and more creative.
