Teaching and learning in the higher education environment are being fundamentally transformed by digital technologies, and the pace of technological change is aggravating the problem. The global changes caused all higher education environments to move away from traditional teaching and learning that simply no longer adapt to the challenges of a rapidly changing educational environment. This also applies to learning a foreign language. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the role of digital technologies in the educational process when building students’ foreign language competencies. The aim was achieved by using the methods of testing, survey, observation and expert evaluation. Statistical methods of analysis were used to interpret the obtained results. The results of the study gave grounds to state that the use of digital technologies when studying a foreign language has a positive effect compared to the results of the control group who studied according to the traditional programme. It was also determined that the students of the control group highly appreciated the usefulness of technology and also noted that the teachers’ support in the learning process is an important factor for successful learning of the material. The novelty of the research is that it was conducted in the conditions of offline learning and analysed how it is possible to more effectively stimulate the development of foreign language competencies with the help of digital technologies. The development of a programme using digital technologies to improve the communication skills of foreign language students can become a promising research direction., La enseñanza y el aprendizaje en el entorno de la educación superior están siendo transformados fundamentalmente por las tecnologías digitales, y el ritmo del cambio tecnológico está agravando el problema. Los cambios globales provocaron que todos los entornos de educación superior se alejaran de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje tradicionales que simplemente ya no se adaptan a los desafíos de un entorno educativo que cambia rápidamente. Esto también se aplica al aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del estudio fue determinar el papel de las tecnologías digitales en el proceso educativo a la hora de desarrollar las competencias en lenguas extranjeras de los estudiantes. El objetivo se logró mediante el uso de métodos de prueba, encuesta, observación y evaluación de expertos. Se utilizaron métodos estadísticos de análisis para interpretar los resultados obtenidos. Los resultados del estudio permiten afirmar que el uso de tecnologías digitales en el estudio de una lengua extranjera tiene un efecto positivo en comparación con los resultados del grupo de control que estudió según el programa tradicional. También se determinó que los estudiantes del grupo de control apreciaron mucho la utilidad de la tecnología y también señalaron que el apoyo de los docentes en el proceso de aprendizaje es un factor importante para el aprendizaje exitoso del material. La novedad de la investigación es que se llevó a cabo en condiciones de aprendizaje fuera de línea y analizó cómo es posible estimular más eficazmente el desarrollo de competencias en lenguas extranjeras con la ayuda de las tecnologías digitales. El desarrollo de un programa que utilice tecnologías digitales para mejorar las habilidades comunicativas de los estudiantes de lenguas extranjeras puede convertirse en una dirección de investigación prometedora.

The aim of the study was to analyse the role of phraseology in shaping stylistic peculiarities of scientific texts using the Ukrainian language as an example. Quantitative, descriptive, statistical, comparative, hermeneutic, contextual analysis and close reading methods were used in the analysis. The specifics of the study is the focus on scientific texts in the field of literary studies, which enables a broader vision of the functions performed by phraseological units in the studies. Phraseological units are classified into 5 main groups according to lexico-semantic function and notional words: indicative, related to career and social connections, related to religion, related to philosophy and culture, and related to time and space The results demonstrate the indicative function of the phraseological units in the text — conveying information to the readers and focusing their attention on the key points of the study. The academic novelty of the research is the use of the texts on the Humanities due to the appeal to images that are universal for the readers’ minds as examples of the use of phraseological units in a scientific style. Prospects: Further studies may diversify the sample of materials for the analysis of the use of phraseological units in scientific style in general, and in interdisciplinary studies on the Humanities in particular.
