Popis: Within the framework of this article, the authors considered the problems of the transformation of foreign language education due to the spread of digitalisation trends, which influenced the systems of traditional foreign language education, especially the requirements for training and the learning outcomes of future specialists. It is emphasised that digitalisation dictates the need to optimise the professionally-oriented training of students and requires a revision of the basic aspects of teaching foreign languages. The particular emphasis we placed on the specifics of the activities of teachers in the course of foreign language education and the formation of special competence. Attention is drawn to the essence of digitalisation in relation to foreign language education and to such aspects as solving professional problems in a foreign language, developing professional thinking, and mastering a foreign language professional discourse. The authors note that the current foreign language training, even at the university, pays insufficient attention to students’ creative potential activation and development. The paper considers the case study technology as an effective method that can be used in the framework of foreign language education at a university.
