Abstract

In this paper, an attempt is made to emphasize the progressiveness in learning English in conditions of
pandemic crisis with the help of modern technologies, which undoubtedly in the past two years have played a crucial
role in this educational process. The success of learning the English language with the application of modern
technologies, in which the main place is occupied by distance learning with the use of electronic devices, depends on several other factors. The equipment of higher education institutions with modern technologies forms the basis of distance learning, but it is also very important that teachers and assistants are ready to be actively involved in the electronic learning system with direct assistance to students, whether they are in the classroom or out. The leading place in the study of English in the conditions of pandemic was the use of modern technological
systems that enabled direct connection and interactivity of a large number of immediate users with a high degree of
operability. Among them, the most common are: Google Classroom, Zoom, Schoology and Edmodo, The Moodle as
well as Google Meet and WhatsApp. However, recent research conducted during 2021 shows that the most used platform internationally is WhatsApp. In decision making about which e-learning platform to be used the most influential factors were accessibility and affordability while the unstable network is the biggest obstacle to the use of platforms in online learning.
