Today, knowledge of a foreign language is one of the main criteria for assessing the professionalism of a young specialist who needs to develop communicative competencies in a foreign language. Despite the fact that when teaching foreign languages, an important part of the process that increases the motivation and effectiveness of classes is the direct interaction of students with a teacher, modern technologies make it possible to successfully implement the learning process in a remote format. Distance learning involves a different form of presentation of material and interaction between the teacher and the student. The need to switch to distance learning arose and became an integral part of our lives due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, despite the transition to offline learning, now universities often conduct classes in a remote format. The modern educational system sets completely new vectors for universities, in particular, the need to switch to distance learning, which justifies the relevance of studying this problem. Based on the results of a survey among students of a non-linguistic university, it was revealed that most of the respondents have a positive attitude towards the distance learning format and believe that ICT tools can replace paper media. Online learning has a positive impact on increasing the interest and motivation of students to study English. With the help of various online platforms, several platforms can be rationally used in the educational process both for conducting lectures and for receiving feedback, as well as for conducting various tests, surveys, writing papers, etc.
