An experimental study of the impact of digital technologies on the learning of foreign languages by university students in the Chechen Republic

Abstract

This study is devoted to the analysis of the impact of digital technologies on the process of learning foreign languages by university students in the Chechen Republic. The relevance of the work is due to the rapid development of the information and communication environment and the need to adapt educational methods. The purpose of the study is to identify the features and effectiveness of using digital tools in language training based on an experiment conducted at three universities in the region in the 2022-2023 academic year. In the course of the work, methods of questioning, testing, observation and statistical data analysis were used. The sample consisted of 350 students of linguistic specialties. The results showed that the introduction of digital technologies increases students' motivation (Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.78), accelerates the development of vocabulary (an increase of 23%) and grammatical constructions (by 19%). At the same time, the need for methodological support for teachers was identified (67% noted a lack of competencies). The data obtained confirm the expediency of digitalization of language education, open up prospects for optimizing the educational process. In the future, it is planned to expand the geography of the study and explore the potential of adaptive learning using artificial intelligence.
