MODERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING FOREIGN 
LANGUAGES (DEVELOPING LEXICAL COMPETENCE) 
English language is a requirement in today's world, whilst information technology 
has the greatest role in the education improvement, especially English. According to K.M. 
Culp, V. Honey & E. Mandinach "ICT in education point of view refers to "information 
and communication Technology such as computers, communications facilities and 
features that variously support teaching, learning and a range of activities in education.

Some of these 
skills are global and associated with a general performance in using and working with the 
language and some of them are quite specific. They all need to be assessed if we are to 
successfully appraise a student's complete verbal communication aptitude.

On the other hand, it is not only the presence of aptitude and awareness to become 
the successful language users, however the assessment has changed as well; all these due 
to the thoughtful of what evaluation is and how to assess efficiently has also changed - the 
changing is in the nature of appraisal like whom, where, and when. It is well known that 
the simple mark, score or grade doesn't fully show the exact student's language ability.

The most recent technique in foreign language teaching is Computer Assisted 
Language Learning (CALL). Most professionals support the use of ICT in foreign 
language learning for improving competence and efficiency of learning that can advance 
in value of understanding and mastery of the language studied. The use of Computer 
Assisted-Learning language (CALL) has noticeably increased and the integration of ICT 
in language learning are the two-side aspects which maintain each other, which can 
persuade students in learning language and is able to create communication and improve 
competence or self - learning. 
Mastery of any modern language course has changed and what we understand 
about the nature of assessment has also changed under the influence of ICT and the 
availability they offer. Changes in general education, not just in language education, also 
have an impact on how we teach and learn a language and how we evaluate it.
The development of motivation of both teachers and students in the school 
environment is a main challenge that we must meet in our educational practice. However, 
we cannot miss the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the 
learning context of foreign language learning as cross-curricular content. 
Therefore, while the approach, which is of keen concern in didactic areas related 
to foreign language learning, is obviously communicative in nature, it should be pointed 
out that such tasks will be adapted to the various elements that affect our educational 
practice.
Using ICT may cover the following purposes: 

---

•
Integrate ICT’s in the learning process, as a key competence and contributing 
to the acquisition of the target foreign language; 
•
Use ICT’s in the classroom to work on information processing, authentic 
communication, and on the learner autonomy, as the builder of his or her own learning 
process; 
•
Give ICT’s a role to help young people be able to arrange, evaluate, and 
decide on the information that comes to them; 
•
Challenge students with different types of supports and formats and, 
therefore, a great variety of activities in which they pass from receivers to makers; 
•
Bring students to the real contact with the target foreign language and users 
(whether natives or not), by means of the electronic mail, "chats", "blogs", or spaces wiki; 
•
Bring students to the cultural elements through authentic and real-time 
documents; 
•
Attend the diversity of students, using the copious offer of interactive 
exercises 
available 
on 
the 
web.

For example, let us suppose a classroom situation in which the teacher puts forward 
this learning principle, “we must
