Taking into account the need to prepare future workers for professional activities, taking into account the new requirements of the information society, the main emphasis in vocational education should be placed precisely on information and communication technologies (ICT).

The study of this article may be of interest to the world scientific community, given that today the language issue has become especially acute, given the significant pace of globalization of the countries of the world, and information technologies have become a part of the life of every person. Thus, the question arises of obtaining positive results in the study of foreign languages using ICT. The purpose of the article is to analyse theoretically the possibilities of using information and communication technologies as a means of professional foreign language training and to test experimentally conceptual authorial provisions on the example of civil defence specialists. According to this goal, the research was aimed at practical verification of the feasibility of using ICT in the process of teaching foreign languages on the example of an educational institution.
