THE ROLE OF ICT IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

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 information technology in foreign language learning and teaching has already become an integral part of our language classroom. Consequently, a vast number of educational platforms and software programs have been created and become the perfect complement to reaching proficiency and fluency, and language courses integrated with 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 maximizes a lot of new possibilities for effective communication for both teachers and students not only to develop their language skills but also, they broaden their knowledge of using ICT successfully to make teaching and learning better. For this reason, we have decided to present the effective ways of using ICT in foreign language teaching and learning.
