The article characterizes the peculiarities of using media education technologies in foreign language lessons in general secondary education institutions in theoretical and practical aspects. The goals of using media technologies in foreign language lessons are defined: to teach students to perceive foreign language media texts of various forms, types and genres; to develop critical thinking, the ability to analyze media texts and evaluate them; to form the ability to acquire, create, transmit and receive media texts using various technical equipment. The stages (reproductive, associative, explanatory, analytical, classification, evaluation) of implementing media education technology in a foreign language lesson are identified and characterized. With the help of media education technologies, a teacher can build a lesson in an interactive mode, which will help prepare students for critical perception of information, its evaluation, selection, as well as the development of aesthetic qualities of a personality, his or her ethical views and general spiritual enrichment. A foreign language teacher should have a sufficient level of media competence, i.e. be able to: change the structure and content of traditional classes by including invalid information in the educational context of the lesson; develop and implement teaching technologies using a multimedia screen, multimedia computer systems; have the basics of multimedia creativity. As a result of using media lessons, students develop media competence, i.e. they can: comprehend foreign language media texts; interpret, critically analyze, evaluate foreign language media texts, understand their topic and idea, targeted focus; find the necessary information in foreign language media texts, systematize it according to certain features; transform visual information into verbal information or vice versa; create their own foreign language media texts. The essence of using media education technologies in foreign language lessons is to use media texts to immerse students in a foreign language and foreign culture environment, to acquaint them with the culture, traditions, nature, climatic and geographical features of the countries whose language is being studied; to develop skills and abilities to perceive and transmit information through the means of the language being studied, as well as their own media texts in various situations of intercultural communication. The introduction of media education technologies in the process of teaching a foreign language in secondary education institutions will contribute to the formation of a harmonious personality of the student, the formation of communicative foreign language competence.
