Digital education is now in its development phase and usually leads to a reorganization of the mainstream education process. Digital education and learning are being introduced. Digital education is also being introduced into the system of teaching foreign languages. Virtual reality technologies are being actively used in this direction. The digital education platform, a Google Expeditions application, has been found to be the most sought-after and most effective. The use of such platforms provides opportunities for the most potential prospects around the world in the development of language education; the Moodle system makes it possible to build the learning process in an accessible way, organize all its stages and exercise control over the learning process. An important indicator is the form of the final control, for it allows showing linguistic and communicative competencies in a foreign language. The VR EduGlasses method allows increasing the level of students' interest in language learning through the introduction of game forms and virtual excursions, which improves the learning process as a whole, expands communication possibilities, maintains interest in language learning, expands the horizon, improves academic achievement, reduces conflict with the teacher. All technologies have their own peculiarities, but the common denominator is that the virtual reality technologies used allow a student, through virtual glasses, to immerse into a foreign-language world and provide the opportunity for students to become part of the reality of society and culture in the countries speaking the language they are learning. At the same time, it should be pointed out that all these systems have not yet been tested in the domestic language education system, although they have great potential. It is recommended to take into account the indicatedfeatures during these systems' implementation, which will allow their more effective use.
