Abstract

The article deals with the importance of e-learning/m-learning in acquiring a foreign language. As the amount of information that must be accumulated in school/university has increased significantly in recent years, the pupil/student nowadays is moving towards using computers as a means of information in the learning process. The article also presents the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning and some examples of online platforms that offer English courses. A new concept is introduced, namely mobile learning. M-learning is a new method, a relatively new concept in the learning process. M-learning means that learning does not only happen at a desk, nowadays students should have constant access to information no matter the place they are. The conclusion is that e-learning/m-learning cannot completely replace the classical methods of learning, but can facilitate and improve the learning process.
