The analysis is focused on implementing new digital technologies. Specialized online platforms make it possible to widen opportunities to implement new modes of language teaching techniques. Online resources can help the ESP teacher find some effective ideas to train students with new professional vocabulary while speaking, reading and listening. Internet platforms give a good chance for the time-set repeating of the vocabulary through personally oriented audio and video scenarios. Mass open online courses (MOOC) can both assist to teach-learn ESP by researching professional fields and to get professional skills by using foreign language platforms. Some popular online platforms allow the ESP teacher to create their own courses not only for education purposes but also for sale. A proper language environment can be set by integrating teaching-learning the language with elements of social networking at the ESP online platforms. The students professional communication here goes in some very realistic sociocultural conditions. A good example is the Englishdom.com platform. The peculiarities of the platform are revealed through observing its structure, key components and the potential to use the didactic tools.</p>digital technologiesEnglish for specific purposes (ESP)teaching languagesцифровые технологиииностранный язык для специальных целейлингводидактика[Akhmetova D.R., Beiskhanova S.A., Kogai O.A.
