Formation of a Professional Linguistic and Educational Digital Environment at a University

This article discusses the concept of a professional digital language learning environment. The creation of such an environment in a higher education institution is a complex of measures aimed at creating conditions for effective foreign language learning by students, developing their professional competencies using digital resources and IT. This process involves integrating linguistic education with students' future professions, using innovative educational platforms, electronic resources, and tools that promote the development of students' linguistic competence, as well as actively involving teachers and students themselves in the educational process at the university.

The purpose of this work is to identify and substantiate effective ways of developing the digital linguistic educational environment of a university aimed at improving the professional development of foreign languages by students and teachers using digital technologies. This article aims to review and study modern approaches and tools for integrating information and communication technologies into the educational process, and to contribute it to improving the quality of training future specialists who have a high level of communicative competence and the ability to effectively apply their knowledge in their professional activities.

Methods. To achieve this goal, the methods of observation of linguistic material, continuous sampling, lexicographic, lexico-semantic and contextual analysis, classification, and systematization of data were used.

Results. As a result of the analysis, conclusions were drawn about the timeliness and correctness of the formation of a professional linguistic and educational digital environment at a higher educational institution, which contribute to increasing motivation for studying the subject

Conclusion. The professional linguistic and educational digital environment of a higher education institution should provide comprehensive development of students' language competence, contributing to their successful integration into the international professional community. The use of new modern computer technologies, applications, educational platforms, and resources contributes to the formation of a linguistic and educational environment.
