This article deals with current aspects of teaching foreign languages in tertiary education for specific purposes, with reference to new digital technologies, which bring completely new dimensions into the output of foreign-language learning at universities. This paper theoretically and methodologically analyses an effective use of digital media-based teaching and learning methods in acquiring languages for specific purposes, both in classroom and in self-learning. Furthermore, we focus on how digital media can support and develop individual foreign language competences and skills. Finally, a concrete media-supported learning scenario is presented as an illustrative example of the so-called hybrid learning concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
