Abstract

The paper describes the structure and functions of a digital multimedia environment as a means of teaching and studying foreign languages. The authors suggest an LMS-centered environment consisting of language labs, interactive whiteboard rooms, multimedia rooms, a videoconferencing hall, a webinar platform, and multimedia repositories, with all the components being linked together by an e-learning platform. The article is intended for experts in information technology and second language teaching methodology, as well as for all those interested in the problems of computer-assisted language learning.
