Abstract [eng] One of the key characteristics that are expected from a contemporary instructor is being able to creatively implement innovation in his/her day-to-day teaching activities. An example of such innovative approaches to teaching is the integrated teaching of, for instance, STEM subjects with foreign languages (FL). The latter can be successfully achieved via technology-enhanced learning (TEL) approach. Currently, there are numerous apps and platforms available or still being developed for teaching STEM subjects, which could be combined with learning FLs in order to ensure successful learning outcomes even more. However, the full educational potential of TEL tools for teaching FLs should be investigated and disclosed beforehand. To this end, the present paper provides an overview of the most recent developments in technology-enhanced language learning (TELL). It firstly surveys state-of-the art and then gives an insight into what to expect from the near future studies on TELL. © 2018 Authors.
