Abstract:

Due to the constant science and technology development and popularization, especially with the development and maturity of multimedia and smart technologies, innovations in teaching technologies, smart education, and intelligent technologies application in teaching, especially in FLT, have become the subject of in-depth study and research in many countries. In China, to promote change and innovation in foreign language education, to meet the needs of the "Internet+ "era," Internet+education" this teaching model has become the primary orientation of the FLT innovative model. It is based on integrating the Internet and education to help transform the traditional education industry and reshape an open, innovative educational ecosystem.

The year 2020, the world's most extensive distance education in history, is a huge turning point in the innovative education model. The sudden outbreak of the new coronavirus has greatly affected teaching activities around the world. To fight the new corona epidemic without stopping teaching, distance learning has become the first choice for universities' practical tasks, providing support and assistance in teaching an innovative mode. In China, Russia, and many countries of the world, distance learning is carried out. Teachers use multimedia technologies and create a network learning environment. From traditional teaching, teachers and students move to a flexible and diverse digital learning model consisting of images, sounds, and text, promoting innovation and changes in the university's foreign language teaching regime.

Digital learning is an inevitable trend in the development of information technologies and the progress of the time and the future goal of the reform of FLT technologies. Diversified mobile terminals, diversified information resources, diversified classroom teaching, and diversified communication lead to new thinking, new development, new changes in foreign language teaching, making FLT more attractive and personalized. Digital learning requires the support of digital learning platforms and technologies, the construction of digital learning resources and models, the research of teachers' digital teaching practices, and the establishment of digital learning standards for students. Only by creating and improving a digital system for teaching a foreign language can genuine innovations be achieved.

Educational technology is not a methodological skill but a resource that can support various teaching methods. In this sense, technological innovation is the renewal or resource modernization.

On the experience of RUDN University (Russia) and Changsha University (China), the authors of the article propose creating a new type of teaching technology as a result of the integration of foreign language teaching and modern information technologies in higher education. They suggest ways to use educational resources and modern digital technologies to improve the quality of teaching foreign languages in the digitalization of education. Teaching a foreign language proposed in the article demonstrates flexible teaching methods, increasing students' motivation, ways to acquire digital skills, and creating a positive effect from teaching a foreign language.
