The introduction of electronic educational content optimizes and facilitates the learning process. This attitudinal study aims to investigate the relation of English teachers and students of the Russian universities (pointed out below) towards digital educational recourses and their usage in the context of foreign language learning. In general, it enables the authors to gather the information about popularity of digital educational recourses for English language learning in order to identify: 1) for what purposes and which digital education recourses are mainly used by English language teachers and whether they manage to achieve the planned result; 2) which resources are of the students’ greatest interest and what is the base of their choice; 3) weather the students are satisfied with the introduction of digital education recourses in the educational process in general and in the ELT in particular. The study is based on the analysis of the results of the questioning. Participants of the study were school and university teachers and students from Universities of Moscow and Moscow region. The findings of the study showed that there is no significant difference between educators and students’ attitudes towards digital education resources. The most participants both teachers and students consider them increasing the effectiveness of learning English. Some of the recourses are popular with both groups of respondents while others have been adopted by one group and easy accessed to the process of language learning.
