Abstract :The paper examines the practical application of modern digital learning tools in the educational environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the advantages and opportunities of using digital learning tools and explore ways of implementing them in the ELT classroom. Both traditional and new methods and principles were employed to analyse the use of digital learning tools. The principles of consistency, integrity, objectivity, historicity, and development were applied, which are classical approaches to scientific knowledge. Moreover, the study widely uses such general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, and systematisation. After all, the digitisation of education involves the implementation of modern techniques, methods, and forms of specialized training for future professionals in higher education. The paper highlights the need for a robust information infrastructure in higher education institutions, along with a well-developed information learning environment. It also stresses the importance of utilising internet technologies, communication networks, and e-learning. The paper categorises modern digital learning tools into three groups: applications for creating tests, tasks, and quizzes, programmes for creating infographics and presentations, and online tools for creating game-based exercises. Each group includes relevant digital learning tools and their applications in the educational environment. The use of modern digital learning tools in the educational environment has been studied by the author in this paper. It has been concluded that the majority of these resources can be successfully implemented in education due to the saturation of information and communication technologies in the modern world. The author suggests that the use of modern digital learning tools by teachers in online learning can enhance students` learning experience. It helps teachers to overcome the negative impact of language interference and keep up with modern technological advances. This is due to the absence of time constraints for viewing educational material or commenting on it, which is not possible in standard face-to-face learning. Modern digital learning tools optimise the learning process by making it mobile, individualised and differentiated.
