1. Introduction
 
Since the twentieth century, instead of the usual transmitters of 
information, our lives are rapidly flooded with new ones. We all use the 
media on a daily basis, often through a professional calling. One of the key 
tasks of a teacher today is to prepare young people for integration into the 
international information space, which is rapidly developing and captivating 
our everyday life (Rush et al., 2016). Today the need to use modern 
computer tools in the learning process is indisputable. However, the actual 
problem of increasing the effectiveness of training using computers is 
urgent. The reason for this is the relatively sluggish and long-term 
transformation of modern education; it will definitely not keep up with the 
progress of technical means
(
Zhernova, 2018). 
The formation of the skills of foreign language professional 
communication of future officers in higher military educational institutions, 
the psychological characteristics of the verbal and conceptual thinking of 
students in a foreign language, the formation of readiness for professional 
foreign language communication among future managers of foreign 
economic activity, the theory and practice of teaching English, modern 
approaches to the implementation of intercultural foreign language 
education, the use of a personality-oriented approach in the formation of 
readiness for foreign language professional communication of students of 
technical specialties, terminological problems, foreign language for special 
purposes and others (Ossai-Ugbah, 2011). 
Today, three main directions of using computers in the educational 
process are clearly identified (Bandylko, 2020). Due The first consists in 
teaching technologies that require widespread use of a computer (graphic 
and text editors, work in computer networks), teaching specialized 
technologies (computer design and animation, prototyping, layout of texts, 
etc.). The second is to study informatics as a science with informational 
logical models. The third is the use of a computer as a technical means in the 
process of studying the basics of science in higher education institutions
(
Roztocki et al., 2019). 
British media theorist and educator Baytiyeh (2019) highlighted 
certain aspects of the importance of media education today, which are “a 
high level of media consumption and saturation of the newest media 
societies; the ideological significance of the media and their impact on the 
consciousness of the public; the rapid growth in the amount of media

information, the strengthening of management and distribution mechanisms; 
the intensity of media penetration into key democratic processes; the 
growing importance of visual communication and information in all areas; 
the need to educate schoolchildren and students, depending on future needs; 
development of national and international information privatization 
processes ”. 
Today, the search for effective methods of learning foreign languages 
with professional directions is extremely relevant. Graduates of higher 
educational institutions are required to know the language at the proper level 
in order to be able to find additional information in foreign literature and 
communicate with native speakers in order to solve professional problems
(
Aagaard, 2014). Therefore, laying out a foreign language in a professional 
direction, considerable attention is paid to the use of electronic textbooks in 
the educational process. Hoda (2016) notes in this regard that: "Despite the 
fact that the traditional textbook remains the main student's tool, the main 
role of the electronic textbook is to supplement the usual textbook". 
Foreign language training has always been advanced among other 
disciplines and very quickly always the first to adapt technical advances, in
