Digital technologies as linguodidactic tools for enhancing English communication skills in non-linguistic students

Abstract

This article explores how digital technologies can be used as linguodidactic tools to improve English communication skills among non-linguistic university students. As well as, drawing on communicative and learner-centered approaches, the study discusses the use of digital platforms, mobile applications, multimedia resources, and online learning environments in foreign language teaching. These tools create more interactive and engaging learning experiences and allow students to practice English in meaningful, real-life contexts. Moreover, the article highlights how technology supports the development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills while increasing students’ motivation and confidence. In addition, digital technologies encourage learner autonomy by enabling students to take greater responsibility for their learning and progress at their own pace. Practical examples of technology-based classroom activities are presented to show how digital tools can be effectively integrated into higher education. The article concludes with recommendations for using digital technologies purposefully to enhance communicative competence in non-linguistic students.
