Learning a foreign language as if it were a mother tongue would be the ideal way, since the need to learn grammar and structures would be obviated. This is difficult if the teachers themselves are non-native and is therefore one of the most complicated aspects. Things have changed over the years, and though it was one of the most effective ways of teaching, it no longer considered the same now. This is due to various reasons, maybe because: the present generation gets exposure to the world through social media; their knowledge base is augmenting by the information available on the internet; the students nowadays are more impatient and to grab their attention, teaching methods need to cater to their dynamic thinking process. Language teaching, like any other topic, has undergone a lot of changes. It has shifted to roleplays, interactive games, short visuals from the traditional ways, such as lectures by facilitators with only a blackboard to support and spell repetition and grammar worksheets, have shifted to role-plays. Thus, we consider it very important to investigate how to teach English in each situation. Sometimes it is not a matter of teaching English but a matter of teaching in English. The main purpose is to create a new method made of all the different methods already known and take advantage of all the positive features in each method. However, just a simple mixture of all methods would not be enough since we are dealing with very different situations regarding age, level and resources. Therefore, the main idea is to use all the methods in a varying proportion depending on the circumstances. Learning a foreign language may cause stress and anxiety and in order to mitigate this problem, teachers could follow a Natural approach involving teaching in a setting as close as possible to the one people learn their mother tongue. The actuality of our research can be proven with the fact that digitization has no doubt changed our education system, but we cannot say that it has diminished the value of our old time classroom learning. The best part about the digitization of foreign languages education in the 21st century is that it is combined with the aspects of both classroom learning and online learning methods. Walking hand in hand both act as a support system to each other, which gives a stronghold to our modern students. To add, digitization in foreign languages education has also proved to be the right method for saving resources. Online examination platforms have restricted the frivolous usage of paper. During research we have noticed that there is no consensus in academia on the effectiveness and the appropriateness of the use of gaming activities in teaching or learning English. However, we consider it expedient and relevant use of them is able to increase motivation to study English language. We have identified the following benefits of using on line resources during studu English: increases interest and motivates to perform tasks; immerses in English environment; stimulates the ability to work independently; promotes development critical thinking, memory, attention; forms foreign language competence in auditioning and socio-cultural competence; activates the desire to communicate in English when discussing the revised; provides an opportunity to form realistic and modern situations for discussion; allows use a wide range of exercises and various forms of work at the stages of previewing and postviewing; higher education learners learn to understand nonverbal communication and enrich your active and passive conversational vocabularies language. The research concluded that all on line measures developed to improve foreign language training of the foreign languages discipline are developed by teachers of the department of foreign languages and teaching methods of foreign languages, graduation proposals are to taken into account by language departments. We hope that the results will develop further steps in optimization of foreign language training in blended learning and distance education.
