In order to survive and evolve the humanity needs changes and transformation. Changes in education are of particular importance because education plays a crucial role in creating a sustainable future. Today, we are undergoing digital transformation in all areas of our life, but educational institutions are only taking the first steps to become digital. Digital transformation of education should involve not only using computers at classes but designing new methods of teaching and learning as well. Technologies should benefit education. The purpose of this work is to share the successful experience of educators of the English for engineering technologies department at Bauman University in designing a new multimedia two-year English course for undergraduates at technical universities. The course “English in the Digital Age” includes a Student’s Book in the digital format with integrated audio and video authentic materials, a Workbook with the key and mock tests, a Teacher’s Resource Book with detailed teaching notes and an online course for English grammar drilling with an answer reveal function and personalized testing with automatic assessment. The course essential feature is that an online self-study grammar course and face-to-face learning process are successfully combined and personalized. The benefit of the work is the best practice in creating a basis for digital transformation of learning and teaching English at a technical university.

“…A modern student is completely different from a student of the past decades in terms of their attitude to life in general, and to studying in particular. The image of a student results in new rules of the "game", essentially influences the development of a new image of a teacher, and consequently, leads to innovative teaching methods, different educational culture as a whole [2]. The experience of working with young people for a long time allows us to draw certain conclusions regarding the rapidly changing needs and interests of a given social group due to the time, the dynamics of the formation and evolution of the student's social profile.…”

The modern society sets new challenges for university students increasing the demand for the well-qualified, skilful workforce. These challenges inevitably bring about innovative tools and educational mechanisms which teachers can use to meet students' needs and interests. The changing attitude of contemporary Russian youth to conventional educational methods has revolutionized the role of a teacher in the learning experiences and the image of a teacher in academic system as a whole. The paper analyses the students' learning needs of methods of teaching a foreign language at technical university, and shows the impact of these changes on the teacher's role and image in the educational process. Due to the technical progress and rapidly changing modern society, the approach to university learning and teaching undergoes significant transformations. The image of a modern student determines different rules and inevitably leads to the appearance of a new image of a teacher, thus, fostering new teaching methods. In our work, we focus on a social profile of a student of the XXI century, make an attempt to reveal the similarities and differences between students of the past and present days, and highlight the necessity of innovative teaching methods which can meet the needs of students and tackle important problems. New conditions of social and technological transformations of the XXI century are obvious and give rise to the search of new approaches in education.
