FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING TECHNOLOGIES

Аннотация

The 21st century has witnessed a revolutionary transformation in foreign language learning due to a large extent to the rapid development of digital and communications technologies. As multilingualism becomes increasingly important in a globalized world, educators are looking for new possibilities to support language learning through the uptake of technology in face-to-face and online classrooms. This article presents a detailed examination of the broad variety of technologies that are being used in foreign language instruction, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) apps, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools like chatbots and adaptive learning systems, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), gamified learning platforms, and online collaborative sites. The article methodically explains how these technologies contribute to the development of the four fundamental language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—as well as learner autonomy, engagement, and intercultural competence. It brings together empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and real classroom practice to examine the pedagogical potential of these technologies. Individualization of learning pathways, formative assessment tools, and teacher digital competences are highlighted as successful technology integration factors. Furthermore, the article covers pitfalls and challenges in taking up education technologies, such as the digital divide, infrastructural disparities, teacher training gaps, and needs for context-specific content. The article also offers insights into future directions, such as the use of natural language processing, immersive environments, and AI-powered analytics in shaping the future of language education. By synthesizing current research and making practical suggestions to educators and policymakers, this study emphasizes the necessity to marry technological innovation with sound pedagogical principles. 8 91 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2025 VOLUME 4 / ISSUE 4 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ It concludes that thoughtful and context-specific application of technology has the potential to revolutionize foreign language learning by making it more accessible, effective, and engaging for diverse groups of learners.

ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ОБУЧЕНИЯ ИНОСТРАННЫМ ЯЗЫКАМ Аннотация. В 21 веке произошла революционная трансформация в изучении иностранных языков, во многом благодаря быстрому развитию цифровых и коммуникационных технологий. Поскольку многоязычие становится все более важным в глобализованном мире, преподаватели ищут новые возможности для поддержки изучения языка посредством внедрения технологий в очных и онлайн-классах. В этой статье представлен подробный анализ широкого спектра технологий, которые используются в обучении иностранным языкам, таких как системы управления обучением (LMS), приложения для изучения языка с помощью мобильных устройств (MALL), инструменты на основе искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), такие как чат-боты и адаптивные системы обучения, виртуальная и дополненная реальность (VR/AR), игровые платформы обучения и совместные онлайн-сайты. В статье методично объясняется, как эти технологии способствуют развитию четырех основных языковых навыков — аудирования, говорения, чтения и письма, — а также автономии учащихся, вовлеченности и межкультурной компетентности. Он объединяет эмпирические исследования, теоретические основы и реальную практику в 8 92 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2025 VOLUME 4 / ISSUE 4 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ классе для изучения педагогического потенциала этих технологий. Индивидуализация путей обучения, инструменты формирующей оценки и цифровые компетенции учителей выделены как факторы успешной интеграции
