THE INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO MIXED-LEVEL GROUPS AT UNIVERSITY

This paper presents the findings of a study on the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching English to mixed-level groups. ICTs play a vital role in the educational process, enhancing student motivation and improving the overall quality of education. When incorporated into English language instruction, these technologies create a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. The conducted research explored how ICT tools facilitate cognitive activation and foster an interactive learning experience for students of varying proficiency levels. To collect data, two research methods were employed: a questionnaire and an experiment. The results indicate that university students became highly motivated to learn English through ICT tools despite certain challenges. The experiment demonstrated that integrating online platforms, multimedia resources, and interactive applications into English language instruction significantly enhances students' language skills by offering personalized learning activities. The authors believe that equipping teachers with the necessary training to balance ICT tools with traditional teaching methods can further enhance students’ English language proficiency.
