Summary/Abstract: All phases of the teaching process have been re-examined and changed for a long time, and technology that has great potential in the field of education has a significant role in that. As digital technologies change the learning and teaching process on a daily basis, in recent years there have been noticeable efforts to strengthen the digital competencies of teachers who will pass this on to their students. Such digital competencies were very much needed by teachers and students, as well as parents in this challenging time of the pandemic, when teaching takes 257place most of the school year at a distance. When it comes to teaching foreign languages, technology can be a useful partner in language learning and help teachers to teach the language more effectively, but also students to master both language and digital competencies. After collecting the data for the purpose of making the theoretical part of the paper, we approached to making the methodological part, which is the basis for empirical research of the problem. Using the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, compilation method, descriptive and survey method, we examined the attitudes of foreign language teachers and students about the representation and use of digital tools in language teaching. The aim of the research was to gain the insight into the presence and use of digital tools in foreign language teaching, the willingness and ability of teachers to use these tools in online foreign language teaching more actively, and the impact of such an approach on improving students' skills, language and digital competencies improtant in language teaching. Most students are in daily interaction with digital technologies, so it is necessary for teachers to transfer their interest in new technologies into the teaching process, making it modern and dynamic.
