Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to create, process, store, retrieve, and exchange all kinds of electronic data and information. IT is typically used within the context of business operations as opposed to personal or entertainment technologies. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology (ICT). An information technology system (IT system) is generally an information system, a communications system, or, more specifically speaking, a computer system – including all hardware, software, and peripheral equipment – operated by a limited group of IT users.

It is known that modern youth are representatives of the culture of their time and are more exposed to visual images, in other words, the material is assimilated more quickly and efficiently using audiovisual means, rather than in the traditional way. . For example, the topic of a language-speaking country is usually taught in the traditional way, using a text consisting of several pictures. This method did not always give the expected result. In modern teaching methods, Power Point presentations, films, slide shows, as well as virtual tours and Internet sites help to solve this problem. Using ICT tools, it will be more effective to show videos in a foreign language during the course.

Sometimes the number of hours devoted to foreign language learning and the number of special textbooks is not enough to master the lesson. Modern information and communication technologies (ICT) and Internet resources play an important role in solving these problems. ICT and Internet resources can be a factor in increasing the effectiveness of education, including motivation to learn a language, in increasing the interest of students in the lessons. The ability of teachers to create their own e-learning resources through ICT is important in the development of this area.
