THE USE OF ICT IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TEACHING

Abstract

Today, we cannot imagine our personal and professional lives without the use of computers and smart devices as they play a vital role in all spheres of modern life. The application of the information technology in foreign language learning and teaching has already become integral part of our language classroom. Consequently, a vast number of educational platforms and software programs have been created and become the perfect complement in reaching proficiency and fluency, and language courses integrated by technological support are the most effective and attractive for students who want to be successful in language learning. The use of ICT in language learning maximises a lot of new possibilities for effective communication for both teachers and the students not only to develop their language skills, but also they broaden knowledge of using ICT successfully to make teaching and learning better. For this reason, we have decided to present the effective ways of using of ICT in foreign language teaching and learning.
