The article focuses on modern technologies of teaching English, as well as examines the main aspects of interactive learning of a foreign language due to the need to develop and improve students' communication skills. The main functions of using modern technologies are substantiated and determined, which significantly contribute to the effective learning of communicative skills. Technology, in one form or another, has always been part of the teaching and learning environment. It is part of the teacher’s professional toolbox. In other words, it is among the resources that teachers use to help facilitate student learning. Technology has changed dramatically over recent decades. The increasing variety and accessibility of technology has expanded the toolbox and the opportunities teachers have to use technology. Computer devices are more powerful and come in different forms, from those that sit on our desks to those that sit in the palm of our hands. The internet connects those devices and connects students to each other in the classroom, through the school and around the world. Technological devices and networks have changed our schools and classrooms. One of the main distinctive features of today’s education is the problem of developing new technologies of classroom activities. This process is usually accompanied with a series of obstacles that do not leave the teaching and learning process unmarked. Technology classroom activities differ greatly from the traditional ones. The teacher should take into account various methodological, psychological, linguistic and physical aspects that impact the process of learning of foreign language. By using the Internet the teacher will present the students powerful and interesting opportunities for communication, interaction and collaboration. Students should be encouraged to communicate not just with their group mates in the classroom but with those who are physically and geographically apart. Doing this, new ways for practicing language are opening. Supporting the integration tendencies of cognition, the process of education informatisation actualizes the design and development of approaches to the potential use of information technologies in order to develop the personality of a student, his alternative thinking, imagination, attention and abilities. The media along with the emerging technology can be an excellent tool to teach a foreign language. The usage of such devices does not reject traditional methods or undermine their importance, but rather supports and completes the whole process of teaching and learning by offering alternative forms of spreading the knowledge and putting it into practice. With the help of activities involving multimedia, the classroom becomes more dynamic and interesting place which makes learning more efficient and pleasant. However, the implementation of such exercises depends on the presence of electronic devices in the classroom.

Modern education requires effective innovations that can help provide a system of necessary quality learning changes. Education must be not only comprehensive, stable and excellent, but also constantly developed to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing and unpredictable global world. The focus of educational innovation should be on the theoretical and practical teaching and learning process, as well as on students, parents, society and its culture. Technological applications require a solid theoretical basis, based on targeted, systematic studies and pedagogy. One of the most important areas of research can be modern technologies and innovations and their efficiency in education.With the development of modern communication and information technologies, the problem of their use in the educational process is quite important and actual. The use of Electronic Social Art as a combination of personal experience and art, presented with the help of new technologies, increases the interest in art and creates new opportunities for education. Electronic Social Art has great potential and implements informative, community, normative, creative, integration and mediatory functions.

Second language learners especially in English language need further language support in view of the fact that they operate on the performance level of language use as against competence. Achieving success in the teaching and learning of a second language such as English is determined by a number of linguistic and nonlinguistic factors such as the attitude and language skills of the learners, the teacher’s innovativeness and competence, effective teaching methods and materials such as visual, audio-visual aids and media aids to language learning. This research is motivated by the problem inherent in the traditional teaching methods which is stereotypical, boring with little active students’ engagement in the learning process, which makes knowledge transfer an arduous task. The research represents a shift in language teaching and learning - from the known traditional to a more technological mode of learning- giving way to new technologies in which the media plays a prominent role. The work adopts a qualitative methodology in assessing the role of the media in language teaching and learning both on the part of the students as well the teacher, especially in terms of self-development and innovations. It was discovered that media aids in language learning, facilitates the overall learning process and helps the teacher to transcend his limitations in areas such as pronunciation, vocabulary to be able to guide the students aright. This makes learning an ongoing process rather than a product.
