Electronic media have become an integral part of our daily lives and are therefore increasingly important for foreign language teaching. This work explores the added value that digital media can provide for teaching and learning foreign languages. Various digital information and communication media are analyzed from a methodological-didactic perspective, and connections are made to the neuroscientific foundations of learning as well as to general didactic teaching models. Based on this, a methodological-didactic concept is developed on how digital media can be successfully and efficiently used in foreign language instruction.
