One should note that intercultural interaction is one of the most important aspects of translation activities. Definitely, for a linguist as a future translator, it is critically important to analyze new digital content using digital educational resources in terms of using various lexical, stylistic, phraseological units in a modern speech to master a higher level of fluency.

The digital resources for networking cooperation can be online educational platforms, instant messengers, webinars, etc., which give the student access to various digital content and use multimedia technologies for moving beyond the studied material.

Educational online platforms, digital language databases provide an opportunity for students who are searching for a bachelor’s degree and major in “Linguistics” not only to gather, analyze and visualize the information but also, having the ability to quickly process a large volume of digital content, organize the received data and find a solution to various scientific research problems.
